On July 7, 2026, the United Nations General Assembly overwhelmingly voted to debate the United States sanctions against Cuba in a special meeting convened at the request of Havana. This session focused on the longstanding embargo and the increasing suffering it has caused on the Caribbean island.
Typically, the General Assembly addresses the issue of US sanctions against Cuba during its autumn sessions. However, this extraordinary meeting was called earlier to respond to urgent warnings about the humanitarian consequences of the embargo.
The debate reflects ongoing global attention to the impact of the sanctions on Cuba’s population and the broader Caribbean region.
