Mr. Chairman,

This Committee is honored to have Oscar López Rivera once again among us, who is a fighter against colonialism, for the self-determination and independence of his people, and represents the resistance, nobility, pride and courage of the Puerto Rican people. Imprisonment for more than 35 years in U.S. jails could not bend this man of great stature for his dignity and dedication to his homeland: Puerto Rico.

72 UNGA: Statement by Cuba on the consideration of agenda item 10 of the 72nd General Assembly of the UN: Implementation of the Declaration of Commitment on HIV / AIDS and the Political Declarations on HIV / AIDS. NY, June 12, 2018.

Mr. Chairman,

We appreciate the Report submitted by the Secretary General on the topic under discussion. As this document shows, progress has been made in the fight against HIV / AIDS since 2001 to date. However, the opportunities to access health care services continue to be unequal.

In this regard, in order to move forward and successfully confront HIV / AIDS, a profound reform of the current international order and the promotion of a true spirit of solidarity and cooperation are required.
