Recently, the Permanent Mission of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK) to the United Nations submitted a document to the UN Secretariat clarifying the stand of the DPRK government in regard to the implementation of the UN General Assembly resolution entitled “Necessity of ending the economic, commercial and financial embargo imposed by the United States of America against Cuba” adopted at the 77 th UNGA.
It stated that over the 60 years since the U.S. imposed an all-out economic embargo against Cuba for the mere reason that its people and government have chosen its development path under the socialist system, the Cuban people have been subjected to immeasurable pains and sufferings amidst brutal and prolonged blockade. It further noted that the U.S. maximum pressure policy and economic blockades against Cuba still remains in force and have even been tightened unprecedentedly in the context of global crisis.
Stating that it is the unanimous desire of the whole international community to withdraw all hostile policies and brutal inhumane sanctions and blockades against independent states that infringe upon their sovereignty and put an end to crimes against humanity and violation of human rights, the document strongly demanded that the U.S. immediately lifts all its extraterritorial economic and financial embargo against Cuba as was stipulated in the relevant UNGA resolutions and further removes Cuba from the list of States Sponsors of Terrorism.
It stated that the U.S. needs to abandon its anachronistic illusion that it could disrupt the Cuban socialist system and bring the Cuban people to their knees by dint of sanctions and pressure, and concluded as follows:
The DPRK government expresses its unreserved support to and solidarity with the people and government of Cuba in their struggle to foil the U.S. sanctions and embargoes and to realize the independent development and prosperity of the country and call upon all the member states to support the resolution as unanimous desire of the international community.
