Harare, September 28, 2026 – The law of the jungle cannot be humanity's future, stated Mafa Kwanisai, Coordinator of the Fidel Castro Chair in Zimbabwe, while commenting on the speech delivered by Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodríguez at the 81st session of the UN General Assembly.

Mr. President,

With the 1986 Declaration on the Right to Development, a hope was born.

Forty years later, that promise remains unfulfilled. The current international economic order, unjust by design, perpetuates dependence and exploitation of developing countries through a predatory financial architecture and the proliferation of unilateral coercive measures.
