This is the GA, no veto power there. It's just the entire UN going "this is against the UN charter, other resolutions of the UN, etc." and the U.S. going "ok"
Yeah I went back to read it, no veto. So that just confuses me more because what’s stopping the “international community” from enforcing anything to stop this damned embargo?
The GA has no such power. It can discuss and recommend on a bunch of stuff, but can't enforce something like a blockade, anything that would effect things. The only body that can do that is the SC (and wouldn't you know it, that's where there is veto)
For which consecutive year has the UN overwhelmingly voted against the US embargo on Cuba now? 23rd?
This happens every year and yet nothing is done about it. That veto power is amazing

It would have dissolved otherwise.
