Permanent Mission of Cuba to the United Nations Office at Geneva

Statement by Juan Antonio Quintanilla Román, Ambassador, Permanent Representative of Cuba, during the interactive dialogue on the report of the High Commissioner for Human Rights on Belarus. 

Mr. President, Madam Deputy High Commissioner,
Cuba opposed the resolution that created this mandate. Our position of principle against mechanisms that do not have the support of the country concerned is clear and invariable.
We reaffirm our support for the people and government of Belarus and its constitutionally elected president, Alexander Lukashenko. We reject externally-funded destabilization maneuvers and interference in this country's internal affairs.
