  1. “We have offered sufficient information in this regard as to the violations that have been committed in this trial, in particular the contradictions that we have found and denounced. Therefore, we reiterate our rejection of the explanations we have heard, and we maintain our position of denouncing these inconsistencies in United States policy.”

  2. “It has guided and continues to guide United States policy along a twisted path, full of lies, mistakes, failures and bad choices. What the Government of the United States proclaims to the world and what it does in relation to Cuba is the most profound and most demoralizing contradiction of its foreign policy. I wish to add that neither terrorist acts, nor genocidal blockades, nor military aggression could put an end to the Cuban revolution, nor to our altruistic efforts to attain social justice. We will not tire in our struggle, and we will never give in. The cause of the five Cuban individuals who are being unjustly held in United States territory must be properly dealt with by the United States authorities.”

  3. “In the case of the terrorist Posada Carriles it is clear that Washington is defending one of its pawns in the criminal war against our people, in supporting Latin American dictatorships in recent decades; in the sinister operations of their dirty war in Central America and in assassination attempts against political leaders and heads of State whose views run counter to the hegemonic interests of imperialism. My country has struggled in an exemplary way and has adopted effective measures against international terrorism. Detailed information on these efforts has been presented in our four extensive reports to the Counter-Terrorism Committee (CTC). The idea of destroying Cuba and its revolution is an obsession that has lasted for more than 45 years.”

  4. “We have said more than once in this chamber that in Miami, funds are collected, with complete impunity and with the complicity of the United States authorities in order to carry out terrorist acts against Cuba. The bank accounts financing that terrorism operate openly in the United States. Terrorists are recruited, stocks of weapons are gathered and a safe haven is provided in this country to people who finance, plan and carry out acts of terrorism against the people of Cuba.”

  5. “Secondly, is it true or not that for more than 40 years, the Government of the United States has provided active support to terrorist and mafia organizations in Florida, which have planned, organized and carried out countless terrorist acts resulting in the deaths of thousands of Cubans? Thirdly, can the American representative deny that, in an odious, vengeful act, Washington has kept five Cuban anti-terrorist fighters imprisoned without any sentencing - anti-terrorist fighters who remain in United States prisons? As we have said, it is impossible to eliminate international terrorism if, on the one hand, some terrorist acts are condemned, while others are passed over in silence or are tolerated, justified, or even encouraged.”

  6. “Mr. Gual (Cuba) (spoke in Spanish): Mr. President, first, allow me to thank you and the members of the Council for allowing us to make a second statement. We felt duty-bound to do so, given the comments by the representative of the United States delegation. We believe that this is a typical response from someone who makes unfounded statements. In this regard, my delegation calls upon the representative of the United States to demonstrate the supposed commitment of her country to anti-terrorism and to respond unambiguously to the following questions. One, is it true or not that the Government of President George Bush protects in his country the well- known international terrorist Luis Posada Carriles, without complying with his obligation to try or to extradite him?”
