Cuba supports the renewal for 3 additional years of the mandate of the Special Rapporteur on the right to safe drinking water and sanitation, which would allow for the continuity of the work carried out on an issue of crucial importance for all countries.
Cuba will continue to develop actions of cooperation, constructive exchange and technical assistance with this mandate, as part of our firm commitment to the right to health.
Cuba reiterates its firm support for the adoption without further delay by the United Nations General Assembly of the International Covenant on the Right to Development, as recommended since 2023 by this Council.
Cuba opposes any act of intimidation against organisations or individuals who legitimately collaborate with the United Nations, its representatives and mechanisms in the field of human rights.
Cuba reiterates its principled position against selective, biased and interfering mandates, which do not have the consent of the State concerned, and which seek to single out certain countries under the pretext of human rights.
