1. “It is up to the new Government of the United States to try Posada Carriles because he is a terrorist, to free the five young Cuban counter-terrorist fighters being unfairly detained in United States prisons, and to make progress through cooperation instead of the prevailing confrontation.”

2. “Double standards cannot prevail. It will be impossible to eliminate terrorism if certain acts are condemned while others are met with silence and acceptance. We reiterate that, if the Government of the United States genuinely wants to show its commitment to the fight against terrorism, it now has an opportunity to take firm action, without double standards, against several terrorist organizations that, from territory here within the United States, have displayed continued aggression against Cuba for many years. It is up to the new Government of the United States to stop using the topic of terrorism for political ends and to bring an end to the unjust and groundless inclusion of Cuba on the list of countries that supposedly sponsor terrorism.”

3. “That Government also knows that Posada Carriles planned and directed a series of terrorist acts in 1997 using explosive devices against hotels in Havana, among many other repulsive acts in his long career. The terrorist himself has publicly confessed to his horrible crimes. We therefore wonder what more is needed before action will be taken. Cuba once again urges the United States authorities to try Posada Carriles as a terrorist or to deliver him to the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, which has requested his extradition for more than five years. Cuba is convinced that the only effective way to prevent and combat terrorism is through bilateral and multilateral cooperation among all States on the basis of mutual respect, non-interference in the internal affairs of States and the equal sovereignty of States.”

4. “Mrs. Orellana Alvarado (Cuba) (spoke in Spanish): I have asked for the floor to respond to the statement just made by the representative of the United States with respect to Cuba's intervention in this debate. The United States authorities have limited themselves once again to reiterating their justification for their position in this case - that Posada Carriles is being subjected to criminal proceedings in their country. What they do not say is that at no time have they prosecuted Posada for his well-known terrorist acts. Instead, this issue continues to be treated merely as a case of illegal immigration. The Government of the United States has all the evidence and information showing that Posada Carriles is guilty of committing the in-flight bombing of a Cuban aircraft that cost the lives of 73 innocent people.”
