General comments on draft resolution L.28/Rev.1, “Promotion and Protection of Human Rights and the Implementation of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.”
Mr. President,
Cuba supports draft resolution L.28/Rev.1.
Only four years remain until the deadline set for the implementation of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, and the outlook is discouraging.
At the current pace, none of the 17 SDGs will be achieved, and more than half of the 169 agreed targets will not be met.
The commitment to “leave no one behind” is in serious jeopardy.
General comments on draft resolution L.21, “Adequate Housing as a Component of the Right to an Adequate Standard of Living, and the Right to Non-Discrimination in this Context.”
Mr. President,
The right to adequate housing continues to be a distant reality for hundreds of millions of people around the world.
Cuba has first-hand knowledge of the extraordinary challenge of guaranteeing this human right under the severe restrictions imposed by unilateral coercive measures.
The United States blockade against Cuba limits access to construction materials, efficient technologies, and international financing.
