Independent Experts and Special Rapporteurs of the Human Rights Council Demand the United States Cease Threats and Hostile Acts Against Cuba
Special Rapporteurs and Independent Experts of the UN Human Rights Council issued a forceful statement today condemning United States measures against Cuba, denouncing them as an attempt to alter the constitutional order of a sovereign State through threats and coercion.
In this context, they urged the international community and civil society to act swiftly to prevent a “silent Gaza” from taking root on the island.
Statement by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Cuba
In an act of subordination to the United States' policy of aggression, Colombia's President-elect announces that he will sever ties with Cuba
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Cuba rejects the statements made on July 26 by Colombia's President-elect, Abelardo de la Espriella Otero, in which he announced that he will close his country's Embassy in Havana and that his administration will have no relations whatsoever with Cuba.
Statement from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Cuba.
Cuba rejects, in the strongest terms, the report published on July 20 by the United States Department of State, concerning Cuba's alleged subversive influence against that country. This is a mediocre propaganda pamphlet. It seeks to bolster the mendacious message that Cuba constitutes a threat to the United States, a pretext that the U.S. government uses for collective punishment and genocide against the Cuban people. Through the construction of accusatory narratives, it aims to fabricate support for a potential military aggression.
Declaration in solidarity with the Cuban people.
Organizations and friends of Cuba in Barbados signed a declaration expressing their unwavering solidarity with the Cuban people in the face of escalating threats and actions that undermine the country's sovereignty, security, and development. The document recalls that Latin America and the Caribbean were proclaimed a Zone of Peace and rejects any measure that could lead to a military escalation with unpredictable consequences for the peoples of the region.
Reply by Bruno Rodríguez Parrilla, Minister of Foreign Affairs of Cuba, during the debate under agenda item 38, “Necessity of ending the economic, commercial and financial embargo imposed by the United States of America against Cuba.”
Thank you, Mr. President.
The truth is that, this morning, the delegation of the United States of America would have deserved a red card.
I would like to contribute to Permanent Representative Waltz's photo gallery with this image, which shows a blackout in the city of Havana caused by the United States' energy siege. Or this one, of a Cuban family whose child has just returned from school, still wearing his uniform, but living in darkness.
