Cuba reiterates the need for a political solution in Syria
PARIS, May 29.—Addressing the Human Rights Council in Geneva today, Cuba reiterated its support for a peaceful, negotiated solution to the crisis in Syria, and rejected calls for the use of force and violence.
Speaking in an emergency debate on the issue in the 23rd HRC Ordinary Session, Ambassador Anayansi RodrÃguez expressed confidence in Syria’s ability to resolve its internal problems without foreign interference, PL reports.
The Cuban representative condemned the tendency to disregard the Syrian government’s proposals and measures and to ignore efforts being made by certain countries to avert the continuation of violence in the country.
"Particularly alarming are calls for a regime change in Syria and the use of force and violence, instead of contributing to dialogue and negotiations among all the parties involved," she observed.
Cuba condemns the death of innocent people wherever this occurs and rejects its selective attribution and manipulation, placing the blame on one side, in accordance with certain countries’ interests, RodrÃguez affirmed.
The diplomat referred to recent experiences and precedents demonstrating manipulation of the UN Charter and the double standards of the United States and other NATO member countries.
"The role of the international community is to help to safeguard peace and stability in Syria, not to incite actions leading to deaths, innocent people being attacked and citizens’ insecurity," she noted.
