            Cuba to present nine counts against Washington in Human Rights 
Commission

            The Cuban delegation is to present nine counts of human rights 
abuses against the United States of America at the Human Rights Commission in 
Geneva, Switzerland. Washington has not succeeded in finding any friendly state 
to do its dirty work against Havana.

            Washington's evil and cowardly foreign policy is habitually to use 
other nations to present motions against states it regards as enemies, such as 
Fidel Castro's Cuba, or else to use cajoling, bullying and blackmail as 
diplomatic tools.

            In the case of Cuba, the CIA's many attempts to murder Fidel Castro 
are well documented, as was the invasion at the Bay of Pigs, an attempt to 
restore the Cuban Mafia to their positions of power and to keep the island as a 
play-pen for degenerate US officials. The temper tantrum that followed forced 
the more absurd side of US policy to the fore: Washington likes to go on about 
freedom of expression and of movement yet US citizens cannot travel freely to 
Cuba.

            Now the USA is unable to find a lackey to present its anti-Cuba 
policy in the Human Rights Commission in Geneva, while Havana is to present 
nine counts against George Bush's United States. Cuban Foreign Minister Perez 
Roque has noted that Washington's theory that human rights abuses in Cuba are a 
great concern for the international community, have been ridiculed.

            "We have numerous indications that the United States is seriously 
worried that its text will not be approved due to growing resistance to its 
threats. In its desperation, the US delegation is begging countries to abstain 
from voting, given that it cannot make them vote against Cuba", stated the head 
of Cuba's diplomacy.

            Cuba is to counter the US by claiming that while there are wars, 
there are no conditions for the respect for human rights. The horrific medieval 
torture chambers at Abu Ghraib and Guantanamo Bay are reminders of the innate 
evil in Washington's foreign policy and of the callous disregard for human life 
shown by the Bush regime.

            Cuba also defends that the right to food is a universal basic 
right. The USA has historically opposed this commitment, according to Havana.

            Havana defends structural adjustments on developing nations, the 
right of people to a more just world order, opposition to unilateralism in 
violation of individual rights, such as the US blockade against the people of 
Cuba, respect for cultural and intellectual rights as opposed to notions of 
globalistic mass consumerism which suppress national distinctions and grass 
roots participation in decision making processes.

            Finally, Cuba intends to present a request for an in-depth study of 
the social, geographic and gender breakdown of personnel in the UN Office of 
the High Commissioner for Human Rights, to analyse whether or not most of the 
members are males from rich and powerful nations.

            Finally, the ninth Cuban resolution will speak out against the use 
of foreign mercenaries in violation of human rights, such as for example the 
use of US military personnel in Columbia, to support the narco-trafficking 
crypto-fascist, totalitarian paramilitaries which support the regime of Uribe.
