Second Secretary Greisy Cordero Suárez, speaks during the General Debate of the 26th Session of the Intergovernmental Working Group on the Right to Development. Geneva, 12 May 2025.

The prevailing development paradigms in today’s world generate poverty and exclusion for the majority. The irrational patterns of capitalist production and consumption, driven by blind market laws and mandates, disregard what is most valuable: human life and dignity.
