Cuba to present human rights case against the US
http://logicvoice.blogspot.com/2005/03/cuba-to-present-human-rights-case.html
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.

1. I assume
that maybe, just maybe, most of the countries of the world agree with Cuba? And may be quietly cheering them on? After all, Cuba has nothing to lose, where many other countries do. It will take a big bribe to get another country to object to Cuba's actions, I think.

2. Louise Arbour, the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights
is an awesome lady and has been fearless and was responsible for bringing Milosevo before the tribunal in the Hague. It will be interesting what her response will be on these nine counts. Here is a backgrounder on her:

(We Canadians are very proud of her, she is a former Supreme Court Justice.)
