At 10 am on Wednesday, June 23, the debate began in the UN General Assembly on the draft resolution "Need to end the economic, commercial and financial blockade imposed by the United States of America against Cuba."
Once again the United States will experience a diplomatic defeat at the UN when the international community votes this Wednesday against Washington's blockade of Cuba, CNN columnist Jorge Dávila assured.
Dozens of cities around the world will host car and bike caravans and other demonstrations on Sunday to demand the lifting of the US economic, commercial and financial blockade of Cuba.
The Pastors for Peace religious organization and the Solidarity Network, both in the US, are currently campaigning for Cuba ahead of the UN 23 vote on the Cuba-sponsored resolution demanding the lifting of the US economic siege of the island nation, said Gail Walker, executive director of IFCO-Pastors for Peace.
