Statement by Second Secretary Aimé Triana, Representative of Cuba, during the General Debate under Agenda Item 9 – “Racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related forms of intolerance”**

Progress has been made, but many challenges remain in the fight against racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia, and all forms of related intolerance.

The international community must settle its historical debt to African peoples and people of African descent, who were victims of colonization, the transatlantic slave trade, and slavery.
