Cuba Defends the Need to Strengthen Biological Weapons Convention
Cuba has called for a legally binding multilateral protocol aimed at strengthening the Biological Weapons Convention (BWC).
In a speech at the UN headquarters in Geneva, during the preparatory meeting for the Eighth Review Conference of the BWC today, the charge d'affaires of the Cuban Permanent Mission, Claudia Pérez Alvarez, stressed that the multilateral protocol should consolidate the multilateral convention in a comprehensive and balanced form.
'The strengthening of the Convention should be carried out in the most broad and comprehensive way as possible, so we reject selective interpretations that seek to weaken it' he said.
The diplomat said that the Review Conference should be an inclusive forum with decision-making power in the BWC and expressed her country's rejection of decisions being made by different bodies.
