UN General Assembly
2014

Cuba for decades, and we renew our call to lift and stop all the unilateral coercive measures imposed on Syria and the peoples of other countries, such as Iran, the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, Venezuela and Belarus. We look forward to the United Nations being able to realize the aspirations of our peoples to live in dignity and to achieve development and food self- sufficiency, free from all forms of terrorism, tension and confrontation, in implementation of the principles and purposes of the Charter of the United Nations, in particular safeguarding the States’ sovereignty and equality in rights and obligations. We also believe that priority should be given to concerted efforts by the international community to combat the terrorism of Daesh, Nusra Front and other Al-Qaida affiliates and to drain their resources so that security and stability will prevail in our region and the entire world.
