Foreign ministers of the American states have revoked the 47-year old Organization of American States resolution that suspended Cuba from the organization.
The resolution was approved "by acclamation" of the representatives of 34 governments of the Organization of the American States (OAS).
The delegates stood up and applauded the vote.
When the suspension was approved on 31 January 1962, the OAS had just 21 members: 14 voted in favor and six abstained. Cuba voted against.
The 3 June OAS resolution states that the 1962 resolution is no longer in effect within the organization. It also establishes that the participation of Cuba in the OAS will be the result of a dialogue begun at the request of the government of Havana and in compliance with the practices, the aims and the principles of the OAS.
The resolution opens doors for the possible re-entry of Cuba to the OAS.
Thirty-four members of the OAS were present at the 39th OAS General Assembly meeting held in San Pedro Sula, Honduras on Wednesday, and they voted unanimously to revoke the exclusion against Cuba.
