Kofi Annan Havana, October 3, 2001 H.E. Kofi Annan Secretary General of the United Nations Dear Secretary General: Allow me to express Cuba�s support to your statements in defense of the principles of International Law and the role that befall the United Nations under the critical circumstances in which the world lives after the attacks against New York and Washington, last September 11. I wish to inform you that, in response to your appeal to the members of the international community in your statements of September 26 and October 1st to the General Assembly, the Government of the Republic of Cuba has made the decision to adhere, such as you have requested, to the existing twelve international instruments related to terrorism, three of which Cuba has already approved and ratified. In order to expedite the corresponding procedures, tomorrow, Thursday October 4, the Government will appeal to the National Assembly of People's Power that has been convened for a special session to pay homage to the victims of terrorism in our country, to ask for ratification of our adherence to the nine instruments that area in the process of approval and ratification. The said homage is being paid on the 25th anniversary of the terrorist act that, in the proximity of Barbados, blew up in mid flight a Cubana Airline aircraft taking the lives of 73 passengers on board. Likewise, our country shall continue its efforts towards the conclusion of a general and comprehensive agreement against terrorism that would truly define such an obnoxious practice and allow the international community to face up to it in an efficient, urgent and lasting way, with the full support of the world public opinion and without unnecessary, useless and dangerous wars that multiply violence and hatred among the peoples. I avail myself of the occasion, Excellency, to reiterate the assurances of my highest consideration. Fidel Castro Ruz _________________________________________________ KOMINFORM P.O.
