For 33 years, the United Nations General Assembly has condemned the US blockade on Cuba and called for its lifting.

Omissions

• The exact count depends on the method: 34 resolutions have been adopted (1992–2025), but some media and advocacy sources refer to the 2025 vote as the 33rd consecutive year, possibly counting from 1993 as the first full annual cycle. The MEP did not specify whether the claim refers to elapsed calendar years or the number of resolutions.
• The 2026 UNGA vote on this resolution had not yet taken place by the session date of 2026-05-19 (it typically occurs in October/November), so the most recent vote at the time of the claim was the October 2025 vote.
• Sources confirming the '33rd consecutive year' label for the 2025 vote (Democracy Now, Cuba Solidarity Campaign) are advocacy-oriented outlets aligned with the MEP's political perspective, though their factual claim is corroborated by the UN's own resolution numbering.
