Bruno Rodr\u00edguez Parilla, in his address to the General Assembly on Saturday, said that there can be no effective global response to serious challenges because the current world order “reflects a bygone era, when most developing countries did not even exist as independent states.” 
Mr. Parilla began by expressing solidarity with Palestine and condemning what he described as the \u201cgenocidal extermination and ethnic cleansing\u201d of Palestinians by Israel.
He said that, at a time when \u201ca handful of countries and individuals have amassed more wealth than the vast majority of all other countries combined,\u201d the United Nations continues to be the most representative body of the international community and must be protected and strengthened.
Mr. Parilla called for a new international order that guarantees \u201cthe right to development, sovereign equality, participation and representation of developing countries in global policy decision.\u201d
He referred to the Secretary-General\u2019s UN80 reform initiatives which, he said, needs to strengthen the United Nations\u2019 intergovernmental nature, and improve its capacity to better confront the urgent challenges of today.
The international community, he argued, must reject the doctrine of \u201cpeace through strength\u201d which is \u201cequivalent to imposing the arbitrary will of US imperialism on everyone,\u201d and would come at the cost of the values upon which the UN was founded.
The foreign minister also demanded an end to the economic blockade imposed on Cuba by the United States for more than six decades, which he described as “an economic war” aimed at depriving Cubans of their livelihoods and sustainability.
\u201cCuba faces a grave scenario of prolonged and daily blackouts, difficulties in affording food, insufficient availability of medicines, reduced public transport, limited community services and pronounced inflation, which is eroding real incomes.\u201d
Mr. Parilla also warned of a looming threat of war in the Caribbean and said that the deployment of US military forces in the region to fight crime and drug trafficking was a pretext and \u201ca dangerous situation that violates international law.\u201d
Regarding climate change, the minister said that, from the podium of the General Assembly, science and “decades of collective work” to protect the planet are being questioned.
“If the unsustainable patterns of production and consumption of capitalism are not fundamentally changed, we will exceed the fateful threshold of 1.5 degrees Celsius before 2030,” he declared.
Referring to new technologies, Mr. Parilla said that, with a small number of transnational corporations imposing their operation systems and controlling what content is seen, read and heard, “we suffer from the dictatorship of the algorithm.”
He called on the UN to create common standards, in order to ensure that technology, especially artificial intelligence, benefit all.
