The U.N. General Assembly has overwhelmingly adopted a resolution condemning the U.S. economic embargo against Cuba. The measure was adopted for the 13th consecutive year.

The 191-member General Assembly approved the non-binding resolution by a vote of 179 to four, with one abstention.

Only Israel and two Pacific island nations stood with the United States.

Cuba's foreign minister, Felipe Perez Roque, was on hand for the vote. He received applause from the Assembly after a speech in which he accused the United States of denying food and medicine to Cubans as part of a worldwide genocidal war against his country. He spoke through an interpreter.

"Its acts are clear to the Assembly that the blame lies with it, that the blockade exists, it's hardened day by day, and it's savagely applied, provoking the almost unanimous repudiation of the international community of this policy directed against Cuba," said Mr. Roque.
