The president of the Republic of Cuba, Miguel Díaz-Canel Bermudez, held today a pleasant meeting with the secretary general of the United Nations, Antonio Guterres, in the context of the COP 28 that is being held in Dubai, the capital of the United Arab Emirates.
The Cuban president detailed in his X account that he ratified his country’s commitment to advance in priority issues for developing countries, which, despite being the ones that contribute the least to climate change, suffer exponentially its effects.
Díaz-Canel spoke this day at the World Summit on Climate Action as part of the Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP 28) and said that peace is necessary to save the planet.
The head of state of Cuba shared a phrase of timely warning: “tomorrow is already today, and the clock is ticking”.
From wikipedia:
The United Nations (UN) is a diplomatic and political international organization whose stated purposes are to maintain international peace and security, develop friendly relations among nations, achieve international cooperation, and serve as a centre for harmonizing the actions of nations.[3] It is the world’s largest international organization. The UN is headquartered in New York City (in the United States, but with certain extraterritorial privileges), and the UN has other offices in Geneva, Nairobi, Vienna, and The Hague, where the International Court of Justice is headquartered at the Peace Palace.
The UN was established after World War II with the aim of preventing future world wars, and succeeded the League of Nations, which was characterized as ineffective. On 25 April 1945, 50 nations met in San Francisco, California for a conference and started drafting the UN Charter, which was adopted on 25 June 1945. The charter took effect on 24 October 1945, when the UN began operations. The UN’s objectives, as defined by its charter, include maintaining international peace and security, protecting human rights, delivering humanitarian aid, promoting sustainable development, and upholding international law. At its founding, the UN had 51 member states; as of 2023, it has 193 – almost all of the world’s sovereign states.
