BCWpt WPV.2943 19-20 (Mr.) The Security Council has shown unprecedented diligence ever since Iraq invaded Ruwait, on 2 August. It has adopted - sometimes in a matter of a few hours - an unending number of resolutions. For the first time in its history, it has demonstrated the will to enforce those resolutions. Cuba voted in favour of the resolutions that rejected the inadmissible invasion of Kuwaiti territory, the illegal claim to annexation. and the violation of diplomatic norms ae well as the conversion of foreign citizens into hostages. For reasons of principle, we reject the conduct of the Government of Iraq in this respect and we appeal to it, once again, to cease such conduct and to abide by Security Council resolutions 660 (1990). 662 (1990) and 664 (1990).
