Cuban Foreign Minister to Respond to US Maneuvers at UNCHR

Geneva, Mar 16 (Prensa Latina) Cuba´s Foreign Minister Felipe Perez Roque will speak before the 61st session of the UN Commission on Human Rights (UNCHR) to respond to new US political maneuvers against the Island.

Pérez Roque arrived in Geneva after a tour of several European countries. At the airport, the Cuban diplomat stated that the US government does not have moral values to accuse anyone at the UNCHR.

Participants at the UNCHR gathering -as in previous years- are expectantly awaiting to hear the speech by the Cuban Foreign Minister.

Cuba´s representatives at all UNCHR meetings have straightforwardly responded to Washington´s political gamble and pressures to impose a resolution against the Island over alleged human rights violations.

The foreign minister told Prensa Latina that the US was seeking sponsors for its anti-Cuban draft resolution it promotes every year to justify the unjust blockade on the Cuban people.

According to Pérez Roque, the US may again find a puppet country in Latin America or in Eastern Europe. The leading diplomat added that the US delegates could submit the draft themselves.

The Cuban minister denounced that the United States was the country least indicated and with no morale whatsoever to accuse Cuba at the UNCHR after the war crimes, torture, rape and humiliation its troops had committeed against prisoners in Iraq, Afghanistan and the naval base in Guantanamo.

Perez Roque reiterated that Cuba would speak out loud and clear before the 61st session of the international forum.
