In 'another calculation error', Colombia refuses to condemn US embargo on Cuba
by Adriaan Alsema November 7, 2019
For the first time in decades, Colombia’s government refused to condemn the United States’ controversial embargo on Cuba.
For more than 25 years, Colombia’s ambassador to the United Nations has always voted in favor in the annual resolution that condemns the embargo that is widely seen as detrimental to the people, rather than the communist government of Cuba.
While 187 of 193 ambassadors voted to reject the embargo at the UN on Thursday, Colombia’s ambassador abstained for the first time since the resolution was first introduced in 1992.
Only the ambassadors of the US, Israel and Brazil voted in favor of the embargo.
