Geneva, 6 October. The Human Rights Council today adopted a resolution proposed by Cuba, together with other countries, calling for the non-application of measures incompatible with international law that affect children’s equitable access to nutritious food.
During the debate on the proposal, Cuban representative Aimé Triana Sevajanes stressed that the call included in the resolution constitutes a recognition of the devastating impacts of the blockade and energy encirclement imposed by the United States against the Cuban people.
Mr. President,
We thank the delegation for presenting draft resolution L.10.
Good governance in the field of human rights entails concrete results in access to fundamental rights, as well as high levels of popular participation in the implementation of public decisions.
Cuba is a member of the Group of Friends of Global Governance and advocates for a fairer and more inclusive global governance of human rights, based on respectful dialogue and genuine cooperation, as well as respect for sovereignty and non-interference.
