HAVANA, Cuba.- In the last year, the U.S. government has intensified the persecution of Cuba’s banking and financial operations, as well as entities linked to the island. This is reported by the United Nations report entitled Need to end the economic, commercial and financial blockade imposed by the United States of America against Cuba.

The document will be discussed during the twenty-eighth occasion when the General Assembly will rule on Washington’s nearly six-decade policy of encirclement against Cuba.

The UN report includes affectations on the Island and third-country companies, including Americans, punished under the provisions of the blockade and the Helms-Burton Act.

The damages accumulated by this hostile policy amount to more than $138 billion, however human harm to the people of Cuba cannot be accounted for.
