Responses from non-governmental organizations 10. Federation of Cuban Women [Original: English and Spanish] [12 December 2008] (a) The Federation of Cuban Women introduced its nature, work and views on international cooperation. The international cooperation the world needs should be based on the respect for the principles of sovereignty, self-determination and dignity of peoples; cooperation should be disinterested and unconditional, and have as its principle the achievement of the enjoyment of all human rights of all the world’s inhabitants. (b) Concerning human rights in the framework of the United Nations, the collective responsibility of the States to defend the principle of dignity, equality and human justice at the global level should not only be recognized but also monitored and evaluated through States and United Nations human rights mechanisms, which should not defend the interests of superpowers only. States which, even attached to the Charter of the United Nations, do not assume this responsibility or that justify its non-fulfilment should be denounced and condemned.
