UN General Assembly
2012

Nations, without detriment to Israel’s right to its own security. Peru also condemns once again the unfair, illegitimate and illegal economic, financial and commercial blockade imposed against Cuba, to which the Organization has been unable to put an end despite the countless condemnations from the Assembly. We also regret that it has not yet been possible to find a solution to the nearly 200-year-old dispute between Argentina and the United Kingdom regarding the Malvinas Islands. We call upon the parties once again to initiate a dialogue leading to a negotiated solution. To overcome these and other shortcomings and deficiencies of the current international order, it is urgent to adopt measures within our own Organization, the most urgent one probably being a reform of the Security Council aimed at making it a more efficient, transparent, democratic and representative forum. The United Nations must reflect the realities of the twenty- first century and update the current architecture, which remains best suited to the post-war world of 1945. The current scenario requires that developing countries take greater responsibility for preserving peace and security.
