Cuba rejects US policy against Nicaragua in Geneva

Havana, Sep 10 (ACN) The Cuban Permanent Representative in Geneva, Pedro Luis Pedroso Cuesta, rejected today the meddling and interventionist policy fostered by the United States against the sovereignty, self-determination and constitutional order of the Republic of Nicaragua, according to a press release published on the Ministry of Foreign Affairs website.

Speaking at the Interactive Dialogue on the situation of human rights in Nicaragua, as part of the 42nd ordinary session of the Human Rights Council, Pedroso Cuesta also confirmed Cuban support for the Nicaraguan government and people in their decision to continue defending their sovereignty, peace, the significant social, economic, security and national unity advances achieved.
The Ambassador also stressed that respect for sovereignty, independence and territorial integrity, the right to people' self-determination and the resolution of conflicts through diplomatic channels should not only be a priority, but also a point of reference in the work of the Office and in the projection of Member States.
"Constructive and respectful dialogue and true cooperation in the human rights field must be at the center of the Office's work and the guide for its staff's work," Pedroso Cuesta said.
