Díaz commented that the reasons presented by the representative of the Washington delegation to the General Assembly were not convincing and with a “high dose of lies, when the whole world knows that the reality is totally opposite?, she stressed.
?The US speech lacked arguments. They were totally dislodged?, the head of Cuban diplomacy in Ukraine said.
She expressed that the truths about the impact of the unilateral coercive measures towards the island could be heard in the interventions of the rest of the countries, which exposed and described the cruelty of the blockade imposed on Cuba.
?Excellent was the speech of our Chancellor (Bruno Rodríguez). In my opinion, it can be used for a trial in an international court where the United States can be tried for genocide?, she concluded.
This Wednesday, 184 UN member states voted in favor of lifting the US siege against the Caribbean island, while Ukraine, Colombia and Brazil abstained and only two supported the maintenance of that mechanism: the United States and Israel.
