He added that it is “an act of economic warfare, in times of peace,” creating a situation of ungovernability and an attempt to destroy the constitutional order.
Aurelie Flore Koumba Pambo, representative of Gabon to the UN, voiced her country’s concern over the continuing embargo.
“The scale of its impact is more and more harmful to the Cuban people,” she said during the debate, noting that the economic blockade is “clearly a hostile act to region and continental cohesion.”
She called it an “obstacle to the social and economic development of Cuba.”
Peruvian UN Ambassador Luis Ugarelli said his country “shares the view of practically the entire international community” that the embargo is against the principles of the UN Charter and international human rights law, noting Peru would support the resolution, as it has done for more than 30 years.
