73 UNGA: Statement by Cuba, on Item 74: Promotion and protection of human rights, B & C. New York, 29 October 2018.

Mr. Chairman,

Cuba upholds the principles of mutual respect, truth, justice, universality, impartiality and non-selectivity as the only way to promote and protect all human rights.

Higher priority and visibility should be granted to solving problems such as extreme poverty, illiteracy, lack of access to basic rights like health care, education and food, among others, which characterize the unjust international economic order.

We reaffirm our commitment to continue promoting international cooperation in the field of human rights.

Mr. Chairman,

Madam Chair,

The Cuban delegation takes note of the Secretary-General's report and wishes to express its strong commitment to the fight against the impunity for crimes affecting the international community.

The current international situation, as well as the events that have taken place in recent years, clearly demonstrate the need for an autonomous international jurisdictional institution, leading the fight against impunity of the most severe crimes.
