75 UNGA: Statement BY Cuba upon presentation of the Annual Report of the Security Council. New York, 11 June 2021

Mr. President,

We appreciate the convening of this meeting to discuss the Security Council Annual Report to the General Assembly of 2020, contained in document A/75/2.

The relevance of the Security Council, as an organ mandated by the Charter of the United Nations for the maintenance of international peace and security, requires that the presentation of its annual reports cease to be a formal and uncritical exercise.

75 UNGA: Statement by Cuba at Intergovernmental negotiations on Security Council reform. Items: Categories of Membership and the Question of the Veto. New York, 16 February, 2021

Co-Chairs,

We appreciate the convening of this meeting to address two of the five key issues of the Security Council reform, namely “the categories of membership” and “the question of the veto”.

A few weeks ago, we held the first meeting of Intergovernmental Negotiations on Security Council Reform in this session. The high level of participation in that meeting showed the significance that Member States attach to this matter, and the willingness to discuss it as the only way to reach consensus.
