Ambassador Rodolfo Benítez Verson, Permanent Representative of Cuba, speaks at the plenary session of the Conference on Disarmament on the deployment of United States military forces in the Caribbean sea.

It also ignores the commitment of the 33 member countries of the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States to proclaim the region a Zone of Peace.
