New York, December 4th, 2025. — Ambassador Ernesto Soberón Guzmán, Permanent Representative of Cuba to the United Nations, spoke today on the occasion of the International Day against Unilateral Coercive Measures, where he strongly condemned these mechanisms which violate international law, punish entire peoples, and undermine global cooperation.
