The UN General Assembly overwhelmingly voted on Tuesday for a resolution calling on the United States to end its five-decade old embargo against Cuba. The 19th straight annual condemnation of the embargo was supported by 187 countries, with only the United States and Israel against and three smaller US allies abstaining. The embargo was first partially imposed in 1960, just after Fidel Castro staged his revolution, turned into law in 1962 and is now the biggest remaining hangover from the Cold War. The United States bans trade with and travel to Cuba.
