The resolution submitted by Cuba to the UN Human Rights

Commission on the situation of US war prisoners confined at its Guantanamo Naval

Base reveals incoherencies and a conflict of interests among member countries.

Cuban diplomat Alfonso Reyes said his delegation expects to see a demonstration

of hypocrisy, arrogance and a double standard during debates and voting on the

resolution, now scheduled for Friday in Geneva. Reyes noted "diplomats,

human rights experts and non governmental organizations see the Cuban resolution

on the arbitrary detentions at the US Naval Base as Cuba's message of true

commitment with human rights, filling a void at the commission," on the

topics of the US war on Iraq and its illegal occupation of a portion of Cuban

territory. "Everyone talks of the legal black hole at the US military

enclave where over 600 prisoners are deprived of their basic human rights,"

said Reyes. The diplomat assured that Cuba would continue to expose US

manipulations while voicing the serious concerns of southern nations.
