Statement by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs
The anti-Cuban document released by the U.S. government on June 30, 2025, consists of a reissue and amendment of the National Security Presidential Memorandum No. 5 that the US government itself had issued on June 16, 2017, at the beginning of Donald Trump's first term.
Cuba categorically denounces and rejects both versions of the infamous document.
During the plenary session of the United Nations General Assembly on item 132: "The responsibility to protect and the prevention of genocide, war crimes, ethnic cleansing and crimes against humanity", the Chargé d'Affaires, a.i. of Cuba to the UN, Ambassador Yuri Ariel Gala López, stated that it is a serious conceptual error to treat the "Responsibility to Protect" as a principle of International Law, since it lacks recognized legal status.
