Cuba’s war of independence was re-initiated February 24, 1895
José Martí entrusted Juan Gualberto Gómez, a son and grandson of slaves, to re-launch the insurrection, with the independence forces better organized and more determined than ever
Every February 24, Juan Gualberto Gómez, son and grandson of slaves, raised a Cuban flag at Villa Manuela, his residence in the Mantilla neighborhood of Havana, after Spanish colonialism had been replaced by U.S. domination. Flying the lone star flag on this date was his way of saying that Cuba's sovereignty was an aspiration that had not been forgotten.

Madame Chair,
The COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated the grave problems and colossal challenges human kind was already faced with and exposed new threats, including the frailty of health care systems. The promotion, protection and respect of the right to health are particularly relevant in the current context.
Statement by Mr. Bruno Rodríguez Parrilla, Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Cuba, at the Conference on Disarmament.

The world’s situation is ever more dangerous and challenging. Now more than ever before, the very survival of the human species is at stake. International peace and security are being threatened by conflicts; predatory and non-conventional wars; acts of aggression and regime change attempts; and an arms race that is dilapidating enormous resources that are indispensable for the sustainable development of our peoples.
