The effects of this undeclared war on the economy, society, daily life and dreams of progress of over 11 million Cubans have been without a single day´s respite.
Cuba reiterated at the United Nations that the use of communications technologies must be fully compatible with the principles of International Law and the Charter of the United Nations and respect sovereignty, non-interference in the internal affairs of States and internationally recognized norms on peaceful coexistence among them.
The efforts of developing countries are not enough to implement the 2030 Agenda, they must be supported by concrete actions on market access, financing under fair and preferential conditions, technology transfer and North-South cooperation, Cuba said at the 37th session of the Committee of the Whole of the Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC).
Cuba reiterated, today, at the United Nations, its deep concern about the escalation of violence between Israel and Palestine, the result of decades of Israeli practices of illegal occupation and colonization, in flagrant violation of the inalienable rights of the Palestinian people in their own territory.
