71 UNGA: Cuba at the Second Committee vs. the US Embargo
On innumerable occasions, most of the international community has rejected the imposition of unilateral coercive measures impeding the full realization of the economic and social development of peoples, particularly the developing countries. Cuba strongly repudiates this practice and urges the States once again to refrain from promulgating and applying any unilateral economic, financial or trade measures not in accordance with international law and the Charter of the United Nations.
71 UNGA: Cuba at the First Committee vs. the US Embargo
The continuing unilateral discriminatory prohibitions and restrictions imposed by some States against others in terms of transfers for the peaceful use of materials, equipment and technology in the chemical field are unacceptable and need to be repealed. A clear example is the economic, commercial and financial blockade imposed against Cuba, in flagrant violation of the letter and the spirit of the Chemical Weapons Convention. (Thematic Debate on "Other Weapons of Mass Destruction", 18 October 2016)
71 UNGA: Cuba at the Third Committee vs. the US Embargo
It is necessary to put an end to the economic, commercial and financial Embargo imposed by the United States of America against Cuba as a unitary influence favoring peace and the peaceful solution of conflicts and differences. (UN High-Level Forum on the Culture of Peace, 1 September 2016)
71 AGNU: Cuba at Fourth Committee vs. the US Embargo
Despite the economic hardships mainly as a result of the cruel economic, commercial and financial Embargo imposed against our country, Cuba attaches a growing importance to space sciences and their applications. Particular emphasis is placed on the prevention of disasters such as cyclones, flooding, penetrations of the sea and forest fires, as well as to the studies of hazard, vulnerability and risk (PVR), among others. Accordingly, we would like to highlight the importance attached by our country to the Early Warning Systems for Disasters.
71 UNGA: Cuba at the Fifth Committee vs. the US Embargo
Despite the obstacles faced by Cuba as a developing country, we remain fully committed to multilateralism. This is manifested not only in our active involvement in the works of the United Nations, but also in our political will to meet financial responsibilities.
However, such political will is hampered by the economic, financial and commercial Embargo imposed by the United States against Cuba.
