Cuba denounces campaign against Syria

Permanent Representative of Cuba to the United Nations.
Speaking on Monday at a meeting of the UN General Assembly convened to discuss the human rights situation in Syria, Nuñez Mosquera called to listen to proposals and actions of the Syrian government to resolve the conflict.
Nuñez Mosquera warned about incitement to violence, military aggression and foreign intervention advocated by media and senior officials of NATO member countries.
A civil war in Syria or intervention of foreign forces would have serious implications for international peace and security and in particular on the troubled Middle East region, said Nuñez Mosquera.
Nuñez Mosquera reiterated Cuba’s rejection of foreign intervention, “either directly, or through support by irregular armed groups and the promotion of military adventures, which only raise destruction and deaths.”
The official recalled the position of NATO in the Middle East, unjustifiable bombing of Libya after the manipulation of a Security Council resolution and the acceptance and the complicit silence toward Israel’s actions against the Palestinian people.
All this shows that the promotion of human rights is not exactly self-motivation of those who call the General Assembly to rule on the issue before us today, Nuñes Mosquera stated.
Nuñez Mosquera pointed out that the international community must assist in safeguarding peace and stability in Syria and must not encourage actions that cause deaths, crime, attacks on innocent people and insecurity. – Prensa Latina.
