Mr. President,
Mr. High Commissioner,
Humanity stands at a historic crossroads. A world dictatorship is imposing itself before everyone's eyes.
The United States proclaims the exceptional and supreme right to conquest and the use of force as a legitimate way to act. Beyond ideologies, all States are in danger.
What is most concerning is that the responsible party acts with absolute impunity.
The international community must mobilize to act with the urgency and determination that this moment demands. We must defend the UN Charter and International Law.
Mr. President,
Cuba condemns in the strongest terms the attacks being perpetrated by the United States and Israel, which are violating the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the Islamic Republic of Iran.
We call for an immediate halt to this aggression, which has caused civilian casualties, including children.
We advocate for preserving the principle of good neighborliness between Iran and the Arab States at this delicate moment.
Mr. President,
The government of the United States is escalating its aggressive actions against Cuba.
They are now imposing a de facto energy blockade, with which they intend to create a humanitarian catastrophe.
These are criminal and illegal coercive measures. They constitute a merciless collective punishment against the Cuban people and a flagrant violation of their human rights.
As the High Commissioner expressed when referring to this issue in his report: "Nothing can justify the suffocation of a population."
We are aware of the great challenges we face, but even in the worst-case scenario, we will persist in defending our sovereignty and independence.
In the face of all difficulties, we will mitigate the humanitarian harm, protect children and the elderly, and support those individuals and families in greatest difficulty. We will always maintain our commitment to the defense of all human rights for all.
Thank you very much.
