What does this mean?
Using economic sanctions to get another country to do what you want. Kind of like the US blockade of Cuba. The link to the document doesn't work, but here's one that works for me.
Oh wow, this could be big right? I assume the real question is whether or not it will be enforced.
Eh. Not really. It shows everyone where people stand, but honestly we know that at this point. There's no binding resolution here that would actually DO anything except showing that US and its vassals suck.
Note that the entirety of the UN has voted to stop US sanctions on Cuba (except the US, Israel, and Ukraine) every year and nothing ever actually changes.
Only the security council which the US has a permanent seat and veto on can pass binding resolutions I believe. Everything else is just wish expressing and showing other countries who stands where.
I don't think it's anything binding, just stating that it's indeed a human rights violation.
Yeah, it's just a resolution, the list of countries was what interested me, always the same opponents(, since we're also the main countries behind such measures).
