The intention is to impose economic coercion and political subversion as methods of international relations, Rodr\u00edguez Parrilla said before the plenary, which he called to \u201cadvocate more strongly a fair and democratic international order, which guarantees peace and \u201cthe balance of the world.\u201d<\/p>\n

Later, he described this mechanism as \u201can important tool for the promotion and defense of human rights without manipulation, politicization, selectivity or double standards.<\/p>\n

We observe with concern the advance of conservative and neo-fascist platforms, and how developed countries experience a decades-long setback in fundamental rights, including women\u2019s equality, sexual and reproductive rights, and the rights of Afro-descendants, ethnic minorities and migrants, he added.<\/p>\n

The attempts by Western countries to turn this Council into a repressor against countries that do not subordinate themselves to their interests are unacceptable and endanger its credibility and existence. The disastrous history of the imploded Commission on Human Rights must not be repeated, Rodr\u00edguez Parrilla pointed out.<\/p>\n

He described the United States as an active accomplice to Israel\u2019s genocide in Gaza and denounced that the US Government implements a policy of maximum pressure against Cuba, deteriorating the consumption, income and standard of living of Cuban families.<\/p>\n

We thank all 123 States that, last July, spoke out in this Council against Cuba\u2019s inclusion on the State Department\u2019s spurious list of countries that allegedly sponsor terrorism, he said.<\/p>\n

We will defend our sovereignty and the socialist state of law and social justice, emphasized the head of Cuban diplomacy, who noted that his country will always defend \u201cthe principles of universality, indivisibility, objectivity and non-selectivity in the treatment of human rights.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
