  1. “Cuba once again reiterates its position in support of a just and lasting peace for all peoples of the Middle East that would put an end to the occupation of all Arab territories by Israel since 1967 and guarantee the Palestinian people's exercise of their self-determination by establishing an independent State of Palestine, with East Jerusalem as its capital.”

  2. “We also reaffirm that all those measures and actions, including the illegal construction and expansion of Israeli settlements in the Syrian Golan since 1967, constitute violations of international law, international agreements, the Charter and resolutions of the United Nations, including Security Council resolution 497 (1981), and of the Fourth Geneva Convention, as well as a challenge to the international community. Cuba demands that Israel withdraw completely from the occupied Syrian Golan to the borders of4 June 1967.”

  3. “It must take all possible practical measures to ensure that Israel puts an end to these inhuman and illegal policies, which heighten the tensions in the Palestinian population. Once again, Cuba calls for Israel to lift the cruel and illegal blockade and allow the free entry of supplies into the Gaza Strip. Cuba reaffirms that all measures or actions taken or to be taken by Israel, the occupying Power, aimed at changing the legal, physical and demographic composition of the occupied Syrian Golan and its institutional structure, as well as the Israeli measures to exercise jurisdiction and administrative power there, are null and void and have no legal effect.”

  4. “The international community must demand that Israel comply with its obligations, including those arising from the Fourth Geneva Convention, and put an end to all its illegal policies and practices in occupied Palestinian territory, including East Jerusalem. The situation in the Gaza Strip, after the brutal attack perpetrated by Israel a year ago, is unsustainable. The imposition by Israel of closings and restrictions on the free circulation and access of people and goods, including humanitarian and medical supplies, has made the recovery and reconstruction of the area virtually impossible and has further affected the already precarious living conditions of the population. The international community cannot remain indifferent.”

  5. “Such measures and policies carried out by Israel constitute serious and flagrant violations of international law, the Charter of the United Nations, the numerous General Assembly and Security Council resolutions and the 9 July 2004 advisory opinion of the International Court of Justice. The international community, including the Security Council, must urgently act in response to these dangerous illegal measures adopted by Israel, which are aimed at hindering and putting an end to the peace initiatives, even before they begin, with the objective of continuing to consolidate its unlawful occupation of Palestinian territory, including East Jerusalem, and carrying out a de facto annexation of more Palestinian land. Israel cannot be allowed to continue to perpetrate serious and flagrant breaches of international law with impunity.”

  6. “Cuba expresses great concern at the ongoing demolition by Israel of Palestinian homes and the eviction of Palestinian families in East Jerusalem, as well as other illegal acts of incitement, provocation and aggression by extremist settlers against the Palestinian population and sacred places. This makes the current situation very volatile and dangerous. The great physical, economic and social devastation caused by these illegal and destructive colonization practices have a profound effect on the peace process and may prejudice the outcome of an agreement on the final status of Jerusalem.”

  7. “Israel's ongoing illegal occupation of Palestinian and other Arab territories remains the major obstacle to achieving a just, lasting and comprehensive peace in the region. In flagrant violation of international law and counter to the objectives of the peace process, Israel, the occupying Power, continues its illegal construction of the wall along the West Ban and, in particular, in and around East Jerusalem, among other things. The settlement activities, even after the partial and temporary moratorium proclaimed in November 2009, have continued uninterrupted. At present, over 3,700 housing units are under construction and more than 200 Palestinian homes have been demolished to carry out these illegal activities.”

  8. “Mr. Nfifiez Mosquera (Cuba) (spoke in Spanish): We would like to thank Mr. Pascoe for his presentation to us today. We would like to join others in offering our condolences to the people and Government of the People's Republic of China on the earthquake that just occurred there. The Cuban people express their solidarity with the people of China. Cuba associates itself with the statement by the representative of Egypt on behalf of the Non-Aligned Movement. The Security Council periodically reviews the situation in the Middle East, including the question of Palestine. However, little progress has been achieved. The situation in the region, particularly in the occupied Palestinian territory, including Jerusalem, is marked by instability and insecurity.”

  9. “Cuba demands that Israel withdraw completely from the occupied Syrian Golan to the borders of4 June 1967. We hope that current and future efforts undertaken by the international community put an end to the Israel's occupation of all Arab territories since 1967. We are convinced that the independent State of Palestine, with East Jerusalem as its capital, will become a reality sooner rather than later.”

  10. “Cuba reaffirms that all measures or actions taken or to be taken by Israel, the occupying Power, with the purpose of modifying the legal, physical and demographic situation or the institutional structure of the occupied Syrian Golan, and Israeli measures to impose jurisdiction and administration there, are null and void and have no legal effect. We also reaffirm that all those measures and actions, including the illegal construction and expansion of Israeli settlements in the Syrian Golan since 1967, constitute violations of international law, international agreements, the Charter, United Nations resolutions - including Council resolution 497 (1981) - and the Fourth Geneva Convention, as well as a challenge to the international community.”

  11. “In serious violation of international law and in contradiction with the objectives of the peace process, Israel, the occupying Power, continues its illegal construction of settlements and of the wall along the West Bank, especially in and around East Jerusalem. That makes the present situation unstable and dangerous, with the illegal acts of incitement, provocation and aggression carried out by extremist settlers against the population and sacred sites. Cuba remains concerned about the huge physical, economic and social devastation caused by these illegal and destructive colonization practices, which have grave ramifications for the peace process.”

  12. “Suffice it to recall that the report of the mission sent by the Secretary-General to investigate the attacks on United Nations premises in the Gaza Strip produced identical conclusions. Cuba strongly condemns those acts and urges the international 15 community to ensure that those responsible are prosecuted with the severity these crimes require. Likewise, we once again call on Israel, the occupying Power, to put an end to all its violations of the rights of the Palestinian people in the occupied Palestinian territory, including East Jerusalem, and to scrupulously abide by its obligations under international law, particularly international humanitarian law and human rights norms.”

  13. “The devastating machinery of war of the occupying Power destroyed everything in its path. In addition to the more than 1,400 deaths - including more than 300 children - caused by these acts of aggression, schools, hospitals, houses, public buildings, food supply facilities, water purification systems, factories and the economic infrastructure in general were irrationally destroyed. That was done with the clear intention of making life increasingly difficult for the Palestinian people, undermining their dignity, plunging them into terror, radically reducing their capacity for development and increasing their dependence and vulnerability. We must also not forget that this is not the only report that very clearly documents the barbarity of the occupying Power in Gaza.”

  14. “Such impunity is possible only because of the protection that Israel receives from the superpower that continues to supply the financial resources and armaments with which Israel carries out its aggressive policy. The Mission has confirmed that both the previous blockade and the aggression against the Gaza Strip constitute a form of collective punishment against the Palestinian population in Gaza, and that they were conceived for that very purpose by the authorities of Israel. The report not only provides evidence of Israel's numerous violations of international humanitarian law, including the principles of distinction and proportionality; it also demonstrates that there was a clear intention to attack civilian objectives, as evidenced by the order given to soldiers to make no distinction between military and civilian targets.”

  15. “It is an objective and legally rigorous document, drafted with professionalism and impartiality. Israel's rejection of the conclusions of the Fact- Finding Mission and its reluctance to cooperate in their implementation corroborate that Government's lack of respect for the will of the overwhelming majority of the international community and its disregard, once again, for General Assembly and Security Council resolutions and decisions. In addition, it continues to enforce a criminal blockade against the population of Gaza. With its military aggression of last December and January, Israel not only flagrantly violated international law, including its legal obligations as the occupying Power, but also perpetrated war crimes and crimes against humanity. Those responsible for those barbarous acts have not been prosecuted and remain unpunished.”

  16. “Mr. Nfifiez Mosquera (Cuba) (spoke in Spanish): Allow me to express my congratulations to Viet Nam for its presidency of the Council for the month of October and to welcome the presence in this Chamber of His Excellency Mr. Riad Al-Malki, Minister for Foreign Affairs of the Palestinian National Authority. The situation in the occupied Palestinian territory, including East Jerusalem, continues to be marked by violence and instability. The lack of respect for international law by Israel, the occupying Power, and its ongoing illegal occupation of Palestinian and other Arab territories remain the major obstacles to achieving a just, lasting and comprehensive peace in the region. Cuba appreciates the presentation of the report of the United Nations Fact-Finding Mission on the Gaza Conflict (A/HRC/12/48) - the Goldstone report.”
