Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez expressed the need to protect the United Nations from the threat posed by the United States government to its founding principles. The statement came from Havana on October 24. Rodriguez highlighted the importance of safeguarding the international organization's integrity.
In a statement made in Havana on October 24, 2025, Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez Parrilla emphasized the urgency of defending the founding principles of the United Nations (UN). According to Prensa Latina, Rodriguez warned of the threat that the current United States government poses to the institution, established in 1945 to promote peace and international cooperation.
Rodriguez, an experienced diplomat who has represented Cuba in multilateral forums, made this declaration amid escalating tensions between Cuba and the United States, marked by the economic embargo imposed by Washington since 1960. The minister's intervention underscores Cuba's longstanding position in support of multilateralism and the sovereignty of UN member states.
No further details were provided on the specific forum where the statement was delivered, but the message reinforces Cuba's commitment to the UN Charter. This stance aligns with previous statements from Havana against unilateral interventions and in favor of reforms to strengthen the UN against hegemonic influences.
