72 UNGA: Statement by Cuba Item 72: Promotion and protection of human rights. a) Human rights instruments. d) Comprehensive implementation of and follow-up to the Vienna Declaration and Programme of Action. New York, 13 October 2017.
Mr. Chairman,
We thank the Secretariat for its reports under item 72 a): human rights instruments.
Cuba reiterates its willingness to cooperate with all United Nations human rights bodies and institutions that are universally applicable and non-discriminatory in nature, based on the provisions set out in General Assembly resolution 68/268, which established guidelines aimed at strengthening and improving the functioning of the treaty body system. This does not imply the establishment of new mechanisms that exceed the provisions governing the standard itself.
