UN General Assembly

40. Outside the Organization of American States, without consulting any international body and in defiance of all, the United States Government by its unilateral decisions is engaging in activities which are a flagrant violation of the principles of the United Nations Charter. On the one hand, the policy of the so-called Alliance for Progress is launched — a policy of opportunism which is being tried out in this continent only because of the example of the Cuban revolution — and the decision to support the development of the backward countries is proclaimed, while on the other hand, in the case of Cuba, which has an underdeveloped economy and a people absorbed in its efforts to create and to promote economic and cultural progress, a whole policy is being pursued with the object of creating economic problems and sapping the strength of the Cuban revolution taxed as it is by these difficulties and by hunger.
