Geneva, Feb 23 (Prensa Latina) Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez addresses this Tuesday the 46th session of the UN Human Rights Council (HRC), in which he expects to denounce the attacks against his country.
On the second day of the high-level segment of the forum, it is also expected the participation of the Cuban permanent representative to the United Nations Office at Geneva and his stance on the impact of Covid-19 on human rights, based on the international solidarity displayed by the Caribbean country fighting the pandemic.
The disease and its consequences devoted extensive spaces during the virtual opening ceremony of the Council, with calls such as those by UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, who demanded universal access to Covid-19 vaccines.
Cuba is one of the Council's 47 member states on the issue of human rights, in which it traditionally appeals to cooperation and rejects selectivity, manipulation and double standards on such a sensitive issue.
Despite the pressure and campaigns by the administration of former US President Donald Trump, Cuba was elected in 2020 for the fifth time to be part of the Human Rights Council, after its candidacy was supported by 88 percent of the UN members.
