In a passionate and improvised speech Prime Minister of Barbados, Mia Mottley, made a strong call to the international community to take concrete and decisive actions against the challenges that small developing islands states are facing. In a section of her speech she rejected the implementation of US blockade against Cuba: "We are scare-self how do our citizens feel that we must come here year after year and make the call as we do. In Barbados we speak year after year about the embargo against the people of Cuba, year after year, but we see no measures against it (…) This UN matters. It protects the small, it constraints the large. And it gives us the ability to plan out in that corridor of stability. When multilateralism is taking away from us, what are we left with and who is left to protect us, who will hear us? …what is clearly required now is a behavioral change to be able to constraint the madness that is taking place for the global governance with respect to the unilateral actions of many”.
