Cuba Ratifies Position of NAM on Human Rights
(Prensa Latina) Cuba ratified the rejection and condemnation to the selectivity and double-standard policy in the promotion and protection of the human rights on behalf of the Non-Aligned Countries Movement.

Cuban Delegate Luis Alberto Amoros, representing the country chairing the NAM Coordination Bureau at instances of the UN, highlighted the position of the Movement at the Third Commission of the General Assembly.

The intervention of the Cuban diplomat was encouraged by the presentation of projects of resolution against the NAM by the US, the European Union and others.

The official recalled that the exploitation of the human rights with political aims, including the selective appointment of some countries for non-pertinent considerations should be prohibited as agreed in the Summit recently held in Havana.

Amoros remarked the respect of NAM for the principles and purposes established by the UN.

Cuba, in its condition of President of the Movement, encourages all the members to respect those principles when voting the countries´ specific resolutions during the present General Assembly, the official asserted.
