73 UNGA: Statement by H.E. Mrs. Anayansi Rodríguez Camejo, Ambassador, Permanent Representative of Cuba, on item 29: Advancement of Women. Third Committee. New York, October 5, 2018

Mr. Chairman,

Significant progress has been made since the Beijing Conference: the number of girls in school has increased, as well as the number of paid working women and those who are elected to carry out public responsibilities and leadership roles. Women have acquired broader rights of access to employment, property and inheritance by marrying and divorcing on the same terms as men. These advances demonstrate that it is possible to reduce gender inequalities through public action.

Mr. Chairman,

Cuba recognizes the central role played by the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) as the center of discussions on these issues within the framework of the United Nations. The Commission on Crime Prevention and Criminal Justice and the Commission on Narcotic Drugs must continue to carry out their work without prejudice in the performance of their functions or duplication by other forums that undermine their authority.

72 UNGA: Statement by Deputy Permanent Representative of Cuba, Ambassador Mrs. Ana Silvia Rodríguez Abascal, Chargé D'affaires a.i., at the Open Debate of the Security Council on the situation in the Middle East. New York, 24 July 2018.

Mr. President,

We endorse the statement delivered by the delegation of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela on behalf of the Non-Aligned Movement.

Cuba expresses its serious concern at the perilous deterioration of the situation in the Middle East since the last open debate on this issue.

It is very regrettable that the Security Council, due the repeated hindrance of one of its members, was not even able to condemn the escalation of violence and the tragic events in the Gaza Strip since 30 March, resulting in the death of dozens of people and over 4,000 wounded.

Esteemed Permanent Representatives,

Dear Alicia,

Just two months ago we had the honor of hosting in Havana the thirty-seventh session of ECLAC, a moment that we particularly remember because of the celebration of the seventieth anniversary of this Commission.

With the same warmth and enthusiasm with which we received the participants at the session, we extend to all of you today a most cordial welcome.
