The resolution again calls on all countries not to promulgate or implement laws and regulations that have extraterritorial effects, that affect the sovereignty of other countries and the legitimate interests of entities or individuals within their jurisdiction, and that affect freedom of trade and navigation, such as the Helms-Burton Act of the United States. The resolution urges countries that have enacted and are still implementing such laws and measures to take the necessary steps in accordance with their legal systems to repeal or repeal them as soon as possible. Between the 27th and the 28th, the United Nations Assembly discussed the issue of "the necessity of ending the economic, commercial and financial embargo of the United States against Cuba."

In 1962, the United States implemented a comprehensive economic and financial embargo and trade embargo against Cuba. In March 1996, the United States enacted the "Helms-Burton Act", which stipulated the imposition of severe sanctions on all foreign companies that have economic and commercial transactions with Cuba.
