Cuba warned today before the United Nations Security Council that there can be no peace if atrocious violations of International Humanitarian Law such as those committed by Israel, the occupying power, against Palestine are allowed.
The economic, commercial and financial blockade is the central element that has defined the policy of the United States towards Cuba for over 60 years. 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).
The Group of 77 and China expressed its deep concern at the growing deterioration of the economic and social conditions of the Palestinian people as a result of Israel's illegal practices, including, inter alia, the continued colonization of Palestinian lands.
