In an interactive dialogue on the Oral Update of the High Commissioner for Human Rights regarding the human rights situation in the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, Ambassador Rodolfo Benítez Verson emphasized that the international community must mobilize to prevent an armed aggression against Venezuela. If one truly wishes to contribute to the cause of human rights in Venezuela, the hostile actions and threat of the use of force against that country by the United States government must be unequivocally condemned. The Council cannot be an instrument of coercion against countries of the South. The noble cause of human rights cannot be used as a pretext to intervene in the internal affairs of States.

During the Progress Review Meeting of the Global Forum on Refugees, Counselor Minister Rebeca Hernández emphasized that Cuba rejects any political manipulation of the refugee figure. The misuse of the refugee category undermines international efforts to guarantee protection and support for those who truly need it. The Global Compact on Refugees must be a framework for collective action, promoting local integration, safe resettlement, and voluntary return in conditions of dignity. Solutions must be comprehensive, based on respect for human dignity, shared responsibility, and cooperation and solidarity among States.
