I should also like to state that we are in favour of measures to ensure no one is persecuted for their sexual orientation. Our Government is and will continue to be active, determined and resolved in favour of protecting the freedoms and rights of all persons, including with respect to their sexual orientation. Persecution is divisive and exclusion destroys hope. We must therefore remain committed and uphold the human rights and freedoms of all. We believe that it is necessary to step up efforts to effectively protect the cultural heritage of all peoples, hence Mexico’s active participation under the UNESCO Convention Concerning the Protection of the World Cultural and Natural Heritage. Mexico has made it clear in many settings that the international community must not allow the looting of the historical and cultural heritage of peoples. We will therefore continue devoting concerted effort to that end. We will join forces with other peoples and nations represented here having expressed similar concerns.
