Resolution adopted by the General Assembly on 13 November 2012
[without reference to a Main Committee (A/67/L.2)]
67/4. 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 at the
Ibero-American Summits concerning the need to eliminate the unilateral application
of economic and trade measures by one State against another that affect the free
flow of international trade,
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
sovereignty 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
