Cuba ratifies commitment with the human rights
Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodríguez Parrilla reaffirms the island’s commitment to human rights through a message on the social network Twitter.
On May 16, 2018, Cuba reached the Universal Periodic Review (UPR) on human rights with advances and achievements recognized worldwide in health, education, culture and participation in international instruments that govern this issue.
During the last five years, a period on which the island was accountable during the UPR exercise in Geneva, there are several achievements.
For example, in 2017 it reached the lowest infant mortality rate in its history, 4.0 per thousand live births, a figure exhibited by few countries on the planet.
It was also declared by the United Nations Children’s Fund (Unicef) as one of the 15 states in the world that apply the basic policies that guarantee the good brain development of children.
The periodic review is a mechanism to which the 193 member states of the UN are subject on an equal footing, and marks to a large extent the difference of the Human Rights Council with respect to the Commission of the same name.
Cuba was presented before in February 2009 and May 2013, and in its last exhibition received 292 recommendations, of which accepted 230, took note of about 40 and rejected 20, because the latter are positions in line with the interference and the regime change promoted by the United States against the island.
