U.N. body calls for an end to Cuban embargo<

"The U.N. General Assembly overwhelmingly urged the United States Tuesday to end its 44-year-old trade embargo against Cuba, a call U.S. Ambassador John Bolton dismissed as "a complete exercise in irrelevancy."
It was the 14th straight year that the 191-member world body approved a resolution calling for the U.S. economic and commercial embargo against Cuba to be repealed "as soon as possible."
The vote was 182 to 4, with 1 abstention, a higher "yes" vote than last year's vote of 179-4 with one abstention.
Many delegates in the General Assembly hall burst into applause when the result was flashed on an electronic screen.
The United States, Israel, Palau and the Marshall Islands voted against the resolution, while Micronesia abstained."
