Necessity of ending the economic, commercial and financial
embargo imposed by the United States of America against Cuba
The General Assembly,
Determined to encourage strict compliance with the purposes and principles
enshrined in the Charter of the United Nations,
Reaffirming, among other principles, the sovereign equality of States,
non-intervention and non-interference in their internal affairs and freedom of
international trade and navigation, which are also enshrined in many international
legal instruments,
Recalling the statements of the Heads of State or Government of Latin America
and the Caribbean at the Summits of the Community of Latin American and Caribbean
States regarding the need to put an end to the economic, commercial and financial
embargo imposed against Cuba,
Concerned about the continued promulgation and application by Member States
of laws and regulations, such as that promulgated on 12 March 1996 known as “the
Helms-Burton Act”, the extraterritorial effects of which affect the so vereignty of
other States, the legitimate interests of entities or persons under their jurisdiction and
the freedom of trade and navigation,
Taking note of declarations and resolutions of different intergovernmental
forums, bodies and Governments that express the rejection by the international
community and public opinion of the promulgation and application of measures of
the kind referred to above,
Recalling its resolutions 47/19 of 24 November 1992, 48/16 of 3 November 1993,
49/9 of 26 October 1994, 50/10 of 2 November 1995, 51/17 of 12 November 1996, 52/10
