**Analysis**
The text appears to be a record of a vote on a draft resolution in a United Nations meeting. The language used and the countries involved suggest that the topic is likely a matter of international relations or global governance. The fact that the resolution is related to a specific country (Cuba) and the voting patterns suggest that the topic may be related to politics or human rights.
