The U.N. General Assembly called for the 31st time on the United States to end its decades-long trade embargo against Cuba as the communist-run island suffers its worst economic crisis in decades, with shortages of food, fuel and medicine.

    What’s a non-binding resolution… a request?

      Basically it means “we really wish we could stop this embargo but we acknowledge that none of us can physically stand up to the US, so we won’t attempt to make it illegal for any of us to obey the US”.

      A non-binding resolution is a motion adopted by a deliberative body that does not enact a law or a substantive rule, and is simply used to make known what the opinions of that body are in relation to a certain fact or event.

      Yes, basically a pointless waste of time. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-binding_resolution
