Statement by Mr. Bruno Rodríguez Parrilla, Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Cuba, at the Conference on Disarmament.

Mr. President; The world’s situation is ever more dangerous and challenging. Now more than ever before, the very survival of the human species is at stake. International peace and security are being threatened by conflicts; predatory and non-conventional wars; acts of aggression and regime change attempts; and an arms race that is dilapidating enormous resources that are indispensable for the sustainable development of our peoples. The numerous crises generated by the devastating COVID-19 pandemic have revealed the fragility of a world where universal access to basic health services is not guaranteed, while nuclear arsenals are modernized and expanded and their role in the defense and security military doctrines that continue to threaten humanity has been strengthened. It is imperative to strengthen multilateralism and the unrestricted respect for the principles and purposes of the United Nations Charter and International Law.  Peaceful coexistence among nations requires governments to abstain from exercising pressures on others and implementing unjust unilateral coercive measures. On January 11, 2021, in a cynical and hypocritical move, President Donald Trump’s administration designated Cuba as a State sponsor of terrorism with the purpose of imposing additional obstacles to any prospective advancement of bilateral relations between both countries.  We urge the new administration to revoke this absurd and unwarranted decision.
