Havana, July 17 (Prensa Latina) Cuba called for an end to the Zionist genocide against the Palestinian people at the Hague Group meeting in Colombia.
The island’s Foreign Minister, Bruno Rodríguez, declared on the social network X that this participation expresses the “firm commitment to the just cause of #Palestine and the defense of its legitimate right to self-determination.”
“#Cuba, as part of the group, supported the proposal to coordinate actions to achieve tangible results and advance urgent measures to implement the immediate and permanent ceasefire in the #Gaza Strip and the withdrawal of the Israeli occupation forces,” he added.
The Hague Group meeting was attended by Francesca Albanese, United Nations Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in the occupied Palestinian territories.
Albanese, an Italian international lawyer, has been a leading voice in denouncing the Zionist genocide, and in her most recent report to the UN Human Rights Council, she singled out corporations for profiting from this phenomenon and questioned the passivity of Western governments.
The commitments adopted at that meeting include: preventing the supply or transfer of arms, ammunition, fuel, and military equipment to Israel; preventing the transit and docking of vessels in any port under its jurisdiction; reviewing public contracts to prevent support for the Israeli occupation; and ensuring accountability for serious crimes.
Likewise, Colombian civil society, in a statement, urgently called for governments to consolidate their commitment to implementing international humanitarian law.
