Cuba has argued that the full exercise to self-determination is the most important right enjoyed by the people Cuba, in spite of the embargo and the hostility of the United States. The statement was made by the Permanent Representative of the island in front of the UN, Pedro Nuñez Mosquera, during the Third Committee of the General Assembly to discuss the promotion and protection of human rights and the application of international instruments in this sphere. The diplomat said that his country shows the significant advances in the enjoyment of all human rights, especially economic, social and cultural rights as civil and political and so-called third generation or solidarity.
"However," he said, "the most important law that has assured the Cuban people is the full exercise of its right to self-determination, addressing the barriers and threats of political hostility and blockade of successive U.S. governments. " He added that the results of Cuba in health, education, science and technology, culture and sports are possible "because we are the masters of our own political destiny and the country's resources through a participatory democracy in their country has designed and ratified in a plebiscite universal. "
The ambassador pointed out that tens of thousands of Cubans have fought against colonialism and apartheid, and Cuba 351 000 employees worked in 157 countries around the world since 1961.
He added that in this more than 50 000 health workers, sports and education offer their services in 99 countries and four overseas territories. We hope that the pattern of earlier sanctions against the countries of the south, together with the impunity granted automatically to the countries of the north, is not repeated in the current UN human rights system, he said.
