Cuba at the Human Rights Periodic Review session
Micronesia, Lebanon, Mauritania, St. Kitts and Nevis, Australia, St. Lucia, Nepal, Oman, Austria, Myanmar, Rwanda, Georgia and Nauru are undergoing the UPR, a mechanism of the Council that Cuba supports for its multilateral nature and as an antidote to selectivity and political manipulation in the field of human rights.
The Permanent Mission to the UN Office in Geneva and other international organizations headquartered in Switzerland pointed out that in the review of Nauru, the island is part of the troika in charge of supporting the UPR Working Group, along with Somalia and France.
In the text, Cuba’s Permanent Mission stressed the importance of addressing human rights on the basis of equality and without distinction.
