U.N. expert says Cuba fails to improve human rights record

From Geneva, it is reported that UN Expert Christine Chanet a French lawyer who reports to the council on a mandate carried over from the discontinued Human Rights Commission, reported what we've been saying for the past year that nothing has changed under the castro regime.

The article states:

"Chanet, a French lawyer who reports to the council on a mandate carried over from the discontinued Human Rights Commission, said she had been hampered in her work by the Cuban authorities' refusal to cooperate with her.

However, Chanet said that by working with other experts, including the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights, her mission had been able to gather enough information to be able to make recommendations.

These include stopping prosecution of opponents of the communist regime, lifting laws on freedom of expression and movement, and allowing rights organizations to enter and work in Cuba."

Of course, as expected, the Cuban government has called her a fascist and has accused her of being a US puppet. Doesn't that crap get old????

The article further states:

"Chanet's report prompted strong criticism from the envoys of China, North Korea, Russia, Iran, Belarus, Algeria, and Zimbabwe, all of whom accused the rights mission of double standards and called for the practice country-specific reports to be scrapped.

Only the European Union, the United States and Vietnam thanked Chanet for her report, prompting Havana's envoy to retaliate by accusing the EU of helping maintain secret prisons for the CIA, and Washington of committing "barbarous acts" at its detention center in Guantanamo."

And of course, what does the UN have now? Their new human rights commission which has the world's biggest violaters on the board? If this weren't reality, you'd swear it was a sick satirical novel along the lines of 1984 and Brave New World.
