UN Hypocrisy towards Cuba

recently, the UN voted to have the US end its economic embargo of Cuba (they've voted the same thing for the past, what, twenty years?)

Australia then turned around and proposed that the UN call for Cuba to respect human rights and free all political prisoners.

sounds like a great idea to me, right? surely the UN can get behind a vote like that?

think again.

the proposal lost by a vote of 126-51

what do you call that?

both I and the Miami Herald call it what it is: UN hypocrisy.
