Address delivered by the Deputy-minister for Justice, Mr. Francisco Eduardo García in the Sixtieth Session of the Commission on Narcotic Drugs (CND)
Cuba wishes to highlight the importance of the Commission on Narcotic Drugs as a Rector Agency of the United Nations for addressing of the Drug Global Problem. We support its central role in dealing with the drugs global problem that continues to be every time a more complex challenge produced by multiple causes. It damages health, social coexistence; it jeopardizes civic security, integrity of democratic institutions, public policies, development and economic activities. As a result, we believe that it should be faced in a comprehensive, balanced, multidisciplinary way under the principle of common and shared (but distinguished) responsibility.
