Gobierno de Reconciliación y Unidad Nacional
Unida Nicaragua Triunfa
REMARKS BY THE STATE OF NICARAGUA
ON THE RESOLUTION AGAINST OUR COUNTRY,
BEFORE THE HUMAN RIGHTS COUNCIL
OF THE UNITED NATIONS
Geneva, 3 April 2023
Excellency Mr. Václav Bálek, President of the Human Rights Council of the United Nations Organization.
Ladies and gentlemen representatives of the Member States, esteemed Representatives of International Organizations and Observers.
The Government of Reconciliation and National Unity of Nicaragua, once again, refers to the offensive reports that the office of the United Nations High Commissioner allows to be presented about our Country, in an unfair, unrealistic and inaccurate manner.
We have already expressed, in this Forum, our total rejection of any type of Resolution which is biased and alien to the efforts that as a Country, we have been promoting, in order to give continuity to the process of structural changes which guarantee progressive advancement in the exercise and enjoyment of Human Rights for all the Nicaraguan Nation, as well as sustainable development throughout our territory; however, despite the above, reports like the ones presented here, only aim to submit our Nation to the interventionist policies of the imperial powers.
For this reason, we express our total inadmissibility, rejection and absolute repudiation of Resolutions founded on disinformation and hate-based media campaigns, which endorse sanctions and blockades, to the detriment of the elementary principles of Human Rights, International Law and the nature of respectful relations that should exist between States.
We reiterate that this type of Resolutions constitute unilateral aggressions, with the sole purpose of injuring our Sovereignty and Independence; therefore, we demand that this Organization apply the principle of non-interventionism and equal treatment for all States, in all of its actions.
We ratify that we do not accept any Resolution or Report, the content of which is constructed with distorted information and taken from sources that are adverse to our Government, under false pretenses towards our Country and its population; what these reports really contain is information lacking in objectivity and with a clearly marked political and interventionist bias.
We will not tire in reiterating that based on the very essence of dignity and sense of nationhood of the Nicaraguan People, immovable and fundamental pillars, Our Government will continue its tireless fight to ensure the fundamental rights of all Nicaraguans, implementing public policies aimed at protecting life, health and education, and in general, the wellbeing of all our People; continuing to guarantee Sovereignty, Self-determination, Peace and Human Rights.
Thank you very much.
