On the 66th anniversary of the United States (US)-imposed embargo on Cuba, 11 former heads of government in the Caribbean Community (CARICOM) have written an open letter to nations around the world, urging them to support a resolution before the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) this week.
The letter urges all member states to vote overwhelmingly in favour of the resolution, which calls for consideration of the necessity and desirability of ending the economic, commercial and financial embargo imposed by the United States of America against Cuba.
The letter states that the US action “is contrary to international law and every civilised precept of life and living”.
“We, the undersigned former heads of state and government of the Caribbean Community, strongly and unequivocally urge all nations to vote in favour of the Resolution on October 28, 2026, at UNGA.”
