Present and future generations deserve a world of peace and security, the Cuban president stressed.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

7 Jul 2025\u00a0<\/em>– Today, Cuban President Miguel Diaz-Canel attended the BRICS leaders\u2019 summit in Brazil. \u00a0Specifically, he spoke during the session on \u201cEnvironment, COP30, and Global Health,\u201d held in Belem.<\/p>\n

From Brazil, Diaz-Canel argued that the U.S.-controlled international order perpetuates a structure of domination that reinforces inequality and poverty in Global South nations. Below is his full speech:<\/p>\n

\u201cI must begin by thanking, on behalf of my country and my people, our inclusion in BRICS as a partner. Today, BRICS represents hope\u2014the hope that multilateralism can be saved from the chaos and dysfunction into which the arrogance of a few has plunged the United Nations.<\/p>\n

Born 80 years ago to prevent war as a solution to conflicts, the U.N. now requires deep reforms long demanded by the Global South for over half a century. This octogenarian institution is dangerously fragmented and severely threatened by the erosion of multilateralism, heightening risks to international peace and security.<\/p>\n

The horrors of recent weeks and months demonstrate where the diplomacy of force leads. The U.S. government, wielding its undeniable military, economic, and financial power\u2014though lacking moral authority\u2014consistently disregards international law and the U.N. Charter.<\/p>\n

It withdraws from international bodies, declares plans to seize and annex territories, promotes supremacist ideologies, carries out violent and racist mass deportations of migrants, and no longer hides its self-serving geopolitical ambitions. This is the same power that backed Israel\u2019s recent aggression against Iran and directly attacked the Persian nation by bombing three nuclear facilities.<\/p>\n
