**Syria condemned the "unfair blockade" of the United States before the United Nations. to Cuba and stressed that the effects of this fence cross the borders of the Caribbean country.** The representative of Syria before the United Nations Organization (UN), Bashar al-Yafari, expressed on Wednesday his country's full support for the people and the Government of Cuba in their claim to end the US blockade. "The Arab Republic of Syria will always be defending the firm Cuban position and rejecting the unjust blockade imposed on the country for almost 60 years," said Al-Yafari, in his speech at a meeting of the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) in New York, USA The Syrian diplomat also denounced the resurgence of the blockade and the new economic sanctions imposed by the US. against the Caribbean country, among them, the travel restrictions of Cubans and the activation of the controversial Title III of the Helms-Burton Act . Al-Yafari, however, has the conviction that it is not enough to just issue sentences against the US measure. “Condemnation is no longer enough in light of the US escalation policy, which goes beyond Cuba; It is a collective punishment. ” He also said that the Syrian people, like the Cuban people, have suffered the serious consequences of the unilateral economic measures imposed by the US Government, which have reached "unprecedented" levels in recent years, he has warned. The Syrian representative lamented “the double-moral policy” applied by certain world powers that call from the UN platform to speed up the objectives of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, while their governments impose coercive economic measures against independent countries such as "Cuba, Syria, Iran, Venezuela, North Korea, Palestine, Russia, among others." In meetings, held yesterday Wednesday and Thursday, Cuba presents, for the 28th consecutive time, a resolution before the UN General Assembly for the full elimination of the economic, commercial and financial blockade imposed since the year 1962 by the United States in its against. Of the 193 member states that make up the largest United Nations agency, only about two or three - according to the passing of the years - have followed Washington in its attempt to maintain this illegal policy. Despite the fact that since 1992 the UN has approved a resolution every year calling for the end of the siege, the US Government continues to ignore the international community, while maintaining and intensifying its hostile policy against the Cuban population. https://www.hispantv.com/noticias/siria/441747/jaafari-bloqueo-eeuu-cuba
