Cuba Demands New World Political, Economic Order at UN
Cuba demanded on Tuesday a new international political and economic order based on the principles of solidarity, social justice, equality and respect for the rights of the peoples and all human rights.
Cuba Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez at UN Millennium Development Goals Summit.
Addressing the plenary session of the United Nation’s Millennium Development Goals Summit underway in New York, Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez Parrilla said that the lack of solutions to the most serious development issues and the problems of those who live in poverty and underdevelopment will also affect industrialized societies, where unemployment rates grow and brutal migratory policies are becoming common.
The diplomat added that the goals included in the Declaration of the Millennium have almost been completely fulfilled in Cuba and some of them have even been surpassed.
“Our commitment goes beyond the borders of our country and it has allowed us to contribute to the social development of other Third World nations”, he said.
“This is the result of a Revolution that has given priority to the people’s well-being in an environment of equity and social justice. It is the result of the society that we are building, based on solidarity. It is, in addition, a feat attained in spite of an economic, financial and commercial blockade imposed by the Government of the United States on the Cuban people for more than 50 years”, Rodriguez Parrilla pointed out.
The Cuban FM expressed satisfaction at the high levels of development attained by the Bolivarian Revolution of Venezuela thanks to the social policies implemented by President Hugo Chavez, in spite of foreign and internal destabilization attempts.
He also praised the results attained in Bolivia, Nicaragua and Ecuador thanks to the commitment and actions of their governments.
“The members of CARICOM have also advanced. In this sense, the levels of cooperation and integration of the Bolivarian Alliance for the Peoples of the Americas (ALBA) have been a positive element. The government of President Luis Inacio Lula da Silva in Brazil has also obtained tangible results in the social sector that deserve our recognition”, Rodriguez Parrilla insisted.
“This progress is not the result of the developed countries’ international assistance, which is almost non-existent, or of any positive changes in the world economic order, which continues to be very unjust and favors only the rich nations”, he noted.
In this regard, he referred to the contraction of the official assistance to development; the limited and contracted transference of technology, and the restrictions of the First World markets regarding exports to underdeveloped nations.
“The foreign debt has been paid several times but it multiplies itself and the financial corruption and deregulation in the developed countries caused a global crisis with very negative consequences for the underdeveloped economies”, the Cuban diplomat stated.
“As a consequence, it is embarrassing to acknowledge that the number of people living in extreme poverty increased in nearly 36 million between 1990 and 2005. The number of people that starve in the world increased from 842 million between 1990 and 1992 up to the record number of over a billion in 2009”, he pointed out.
“The United Nations will betray their raison if they do not become aware of these realities and act now. We are convinced that, for the human species to survive, we have to build a new international political and economic order based on the principles of solidarity, social justice, equality and respect for the rights of the peoples and all human rights”, the Cuban foreign minister concluded.
