Ambassador Rodolfo Benítez, Permanent Representative of Cuba, delivered Cuba’s statement during the Universal Periodic Review (UPR) of the Lebanese Republic. Cuba’s participation in this exercise demonstrates its firm commitment to the Universal Periodic Review as a fundamental pillar of the Human Rights Council and as a legitimate instrument to assess, without politicization or double standards, the human rights performance of States.

It welcomed Kenya as the new Chair and reaffirmed the Group’s responsibility to defend, with unity and a single voice, the interests of developing countries.
