Cuba's report on Resolution 73/8 of the United Nations General Assembly entitled "Necessity of ending the economic, commercial and financial blockade imposed by the United States of America against Cuba"

"US strategy focused on consolidating confrontation and hostility both on the declarative level as in the implementation of measures of economic aggression against the country," reads the text.

"From April 2018 to March 2019, the blockade has caused losses for Cuba for approximately $4,343.6 million. The significant negative impact of the application of the measures adopted recently by the United States to intensify the blockade against Cuba is not included in this report since it goes beyond the closing of the period being analyzed."

The United States blockade is the main obstacle for the growth of the Cuban economy and people's full enjoyment of all the human rights. It also constitutes a serious challenge for implementation of Agenda 2030 and its Sustainable Development Goals.

"The human damage caused by application of these sanctions is beyond calculations. No Cuban family or sector in the country has escaped being victim of it effects.Over 77 percent of the Cuban population was born and has grown up under the economic blockade imposed by Washington," points out the document.

The report finishes affirming that "Cuba and its people trust in continuing to have the support of the international community in the legitimate claim to put an end to the economic, commercial and financial blockade imposed by the government of the United States."
