The diplomat of the island acknowledged that efforts aimed at sustaining peace will be frustrated if the implementation of double standards is maintained on issues regarding the international agenda, the threat and unilateral use of force against sovereign states, the unilateral coercive measures, the attempts to impose certain political systems and patterns of democracy and the intimidation and unequal trade.
She also stated that in Cuba’s view sustainable peace requires addressing and eradicating the root causes of conflicts, particularly the complex problems of social and economic development affecting many nations, among other reasons, due to the imposition of consumption patterns and irrational production as well as the exploitation and plundering of savage capitalism.
Rodríguez Camejo called for prioritizing and supporting the full implementation of the 2030 Agenda, creating capacities in developing countries, allowing technology access and transfer under equal conditions and without discrimination and fulfilling commitments and increasing Official Development Assistance (ODA), without preconditions, as ways to achieve sustainable peace.
