Seventeen countries, including the United States and Israel, voted against the resolution, while 25 abstained.
Barbados’ Ambassador to CARICOM, His Excellency David Comissiong, says that over the past 33 years, virtually every CARICOM country has voted in favour of the resolution.
He revealed, however, that this year only seven CARICOM countries voted in favour, while six abstained or were absent from the vote, and one voted against.
The vote is non-binding, and only the US Congress can lift the embargo, which has been in place for more than six decades.

- Description
- Barbados' economy continues to grow, although the pace of expansion is slowing.
That is the assessment from the Central Bank of Barbados following its review of the country's economic performance during the first nine months of 2026.
Governor Dr the Most Honourable Kevin Greenidge says the economy expanded by 1.4 per cent over the period, extending Barbados' streak of economic growth to 22 consecutive quarters since the second quarter of 2021.
However, he notes that growth is becoming increasingly constrained.
He says construction was a major factor in the downward revision, with several large private-sector projects reaching completion before new projects were ready to begin.
The Governor says that, while risks remain significant, Barbados must now focus on turning economic stability into stronger and more sustainable growth.

- Description
- The Barbadian diaspora is a key part of Prime Minister Mia Amor Mottley’s argument for changes to the country’s citizenship framework.
She says the proposed legislation would recognise the connection between Barbados and people whose ancestors left the island.
Mottley said the proposed changes would extend citizenship rights to the great-grandchildren of people born in Barbados.
She described this as a way of affirming that the country’s connection with its people does not end when they leave its shores.
The Prime Minister says the bill is a significant gift to the people of Barbados as the country heads towards independence.

- As Parliament debates changes to the immigration system, one of the key issues is how to balance the need to attract workers with the need to protect those already in the labour market.
Member of Parliament for St George North Toni Moore says the Immigration and Citizenship Bills must be considered in the context of protecting Barbadian workers and ensuring fair treatment for people who come to the country to work.
Finance Minister Ryan Straughn has announced the Government’s intention to engage in dialogue with all political parties to ensure a clear understanding of why the legislation is necessary.

- A breast cancer survivor is urging Barbadians not to let fear prevent them from getting mammograms.
The message comes from Lana McQuilguin-Prescod, a principal environmental health officer who was diagnosed with tubular breast carcinoma, a rare form of breast cancer, in 2014.
In May of that year, her husband discovered a lump beneath her left breast and urged her to get it checked.
Speaking in an interview with CBC News, she said she had always feared mammograms because she believed they were painful.
Although her cancer was diagnosed at stage one, reflecting on her cancer journey, she believes she could have been diagnosed earlier if she had not allowed fear to prevent her from getting screened.
