  1. “The Council should be more democratic and representative and should act without double standards so as to preserve the credibility of the Organization. The world needs solidarity, cooperation and mutual respect, not embargoes or sanctions, if we are to overcome the current crises. We need an international order that is fair, democratic and equal and that responds to the calls for peace of the peoples of the United Nations. We reiterate Cuba’s commitment to upholding multilateralism and the maintenance of international peace and security on the basis of unhindered respect for the purposes and principles of the Charter of the United Nations and international law.”

  2. “They serve as a path to guarantee peaceful co-existence, to preserve international peace and security and to find sustainable solutions to systemic problems. We reaffirm the importance of the role of the United Nations as the principal bulwark against the global threats that attempt to undermine multilateralism. A profound reform of the Organization is urgently needed. The General Assembly must be revitalized and strengthened. It should be able to fully exercise all functions conferred upon it by the Charter of the United Nations without the interference of the Security Council in its work or any of its Committees. There needs to be a comprehensive reform of the Security Council, with greater transparency and inclusiveness in its work.”

  3. “We are witnessing the proliferation of acts of aggression and non-conventional wars, the implementation of regime change policies and attempts to re-impose a unipolar world order emanating from a lack of knowledge or understanding of international treaties, as well as the multiplication of unilateral sanctions and many other frequent violations of the Charter of the United Nations and international law. The use of unilateral coercive measures and punitive actions against developing countries runs counter to multilateralism itself. Such measures contravene international law and should cease immediately. Multilateralism and full respect for the principles and norms of international law are the bases upon which we can advance towards a democratic, fair and equitable world where the sovereignty of States is respected.”

  4. “Mr. Romero Puentes (Cuba) (spoke in Spanish): We congratulate India on its presidency of the Security Council and wish it every success during its mandate. We thank you, Sir, for convening this opening debate, which is all the more pertinent in the light of the serious and growing threats to international peace and security and the progressive erosion of multilateralism. The prevailing international order is unjust and unsustainable and has caused multidimensional crises to impact our planet, aggravated by the coronavirus disease pandemic. It has deepened inequalities, social exclusion and poverty. It has exacerbated regional and international conflicts and worsened the crises and challenges with which humankind was already confronted.”

  5. “We call also for the full and unconditional withdrawal of Israel from the Syrian Golan and from all occupied Arab territories. We call for a cessation of external interference in Syria and full respect for its sovereignty and territorial integrity, while supporting the quest for a peaceful and negotiated solution to the situation imposed on that sisterly nation. We reiterate our support for the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action with Iran and for the inalienable right of States to the peaceful use of nuclear energy. Cuba will always defend multilateralism, peace, the Charter of the United Nations and international law. The meeting rose at 5.10 p.m.”

  6. “We reiterate our call to put an immediate and unconditional end to the arbitrary and illegal unilateral coercive measures imposed against sovereign nations. Cuba maintains its steadfast position in defence of and solidarity with the just cause of the Palestinian people. We reaffirm our unrestricted support for a just, lasting and comprehensive solution to the Israeli- Palestinian conflict. The Palestinian people must exercise their right to self-determination and enjoy an independent and sovereign State within pre-1967 borders, with East Jerusalem as its capital, and that guarantees the right of return for refugees. We support full membership of the State of Palestine in the United Nations and the call by its President to hold an international peace conference.”

  7. “The unilateral decision of the Government of the United States to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel and to establish its diplomatic representation in that city, with no respect for its historical status, and to recognize Israel’s sovereignty over the Syrian Golan constitute serious violations of the Charter of the United Nations, international law and the relevant resolutions of the Security Council. The current Government of the United States has not reversed those decisions, which reduce still further the likelihood of a negotiated solution. Its aggressive, unilateral and unjustified actions in the Middle East continue to severely jeopardize the legitimate interests of Arab nations and lead to a dangerous escalation in the region.”

  8. “It has repeatedly obstructed the efforts of the Security Council, thus granting impunity to Israel and preventing this body from fulfilling the responsibility entrusted to it under the Charter of the United Nations for the maintenance of international peace and security. Moreover, the proposed so-called deal of the century, which rejected the two-State solution, thus threatening the future of the State of Palestine pursuant to the pre-1967 borders and with East Jerusalem as its capital.”

  9. “We condemn the assault by Israeli forces on the Al-Aqsa Mosque when hundreds of worshipers were at prayer. It is regrettable that the Security Council remains unable to adopt measures to put an end to the Israeli military aggression and occupation of Palestinian territory, including East Jerusalem, pursuant to its resolution 2334 (2016). The United States continues to hinder a just, lasting and comprehensive solution to the Israeli- Palestinian conflict, ignoring the historical claims of the United Nations, the Movement of Non-Aligned Countries, the League of Arab States, the Organization for Islamic Cooperation and other international actors.”

  10. “Mr. Romero Puentes (Cuba) (spoke in Spanish): We endorse the statement made by the representative of Namibia in his capacity as Vice-Chair of the Committee on the Exercise of the Inalienable Rights of the Palestinian People. Day after day, we receive with indignation news confirming the intensification of Israel’s policies of annexation of the occupied Palestinian territories and the continued increase in its illegal settlement practices. The construction and expansion of settlements in the occupied Palestinian territory continue, as do punitive demolitions, the forced displacement of hundreds of civilians, the blockade of the Gaza Strip and plans to annex the Palestinian territories of the Jordan Valley and other parts of the West Bank and East Jerusalem.”
