73 UNGA: Statement by the delegation of Cuba at Thematic Debate on nuclear weapons First Committee. New York, October 19, 2018

Mr. Chairman,

We fully endorse the statement by Indonesia on behalf of the Non-Aligned Movement.

Cuba shares the deep concern over the existence of nuclear weapons. The number of nuclear warheads deployed in the world is more than enough to destroy civilization several times and most of life on planet earth.

The scant progress towards nuclear disarmament and the lack of commitment with multilateralism and international treaties on disarmament, by some nuclear-weapon States are a matter of serious concern.
