Mr. President,
Cuba considers that the Council has reached the limit of what can be rationalized in terms of conference management, including the reduction of time allocated to debates and interactive dialogues. It is also no longer possible to continue restricting the right of States to take the floor in their national capacity, nor to further shorten the duration of statements.
