Mr. President,
We share the concern on the effectiveness and efficiency of International Humanitarian Law at the international level. A few months after the conclusion of the 34th International Conference of the Red Cross and Red Crescent and, despite the efforts by the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement, the global humanitarian scenario is not encouraging.
Dear Co-Chairs,
We thank you for convening this debate to continue exchanging on the revitalization of the work of the General Assembly, the main deliberative and representative body of the United Nations.
My delegation aligns itself with the statement made by Algeria on behalf of the Non-Aligned Movement and wishes to add the following comments in its national capacity.
Panel on: Development cooperation and sovereign financing priorities.

As Cuba continues to implement its national development priorities, what types of technical assistance are most needed to navigate the complex financial landscape?
