The Cuban official noted that the Cuban diplomats and their relatives have arbitrarily been imposed movement restrictions, which constitute a hurdle for their functions, according to a news release by the Cuban Foreign Ministry.

The discriminatory visa issuance for some member states by the host country is not only a violation but an obstacle against the work of the organization and prevents the delegations from carrying out their functions on equal grounds, the ambassador noted.

The UN organization cannot be accomplice of reiterated failure by the host country to honor the Charter, the Host-related Accord, the Convention on the Privileges and Immunities and other international instruments.

The United Nations Organization was founded in 1945 by 51 nations who made a commitment to international peace and security, relations of friendship among nations, and social progress, as well as the improvement of living standards of their people and human rights.
