Colombo, February 25 - The Sri Lanka Guardian newspaper extensively reported today on the complaint made by Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodríguez before the Human Rights Council in Geneva regarding the use of coercive measures to attempt to subjugate countries.
The Sri Lankan daily emphasized that the day before, at the High-Level Segment of the Human Rights Council, the Cuban Foreign Minister accused the United States government of imposing an economic, commercial, and financial blockade against the people of the Caribbean nation for over 60 years.
It pointed out that this maximum pressure policy against Cuba is the main cause of inflation, fuel shortages, and limited access to essential goods such as food and medicine that the country suffers from, the newspaper noted.
The news outlet also highlighted Rodríguez's denunciation of U.S. complicity in the genocide being committed by Israel against the Palestinian people.
The Sri Lankan newspaper further referred to the Cuban Foreign Minister's criticisms regarding the use of political subversion methods and what he described as the manipulation of human rights for geopolitical interests.
Rodríguez accused Washington of funding organizations and media platforms under the guise of promoting democracy and human rights while advancing political agendas aimed at subverting sovereign governments, emphasized Sri Lanka Guardian.
The Cuban Foreign Minister strongly advocated for a fair and democratic international order that guarantees peace and balance in the world, sovereign equality, the exercise of the right to development by all states, environmental sustainability, and ensures the exercise of all human rights, stated the newspaper.
The head of Cuba's diplomacy urged all states to commit to thematic, universal, and non-discriminatory human rights mechanisms, as specified by the news outlet.
Similarly, he criticized the manipulation of human rights issues and expressed concern about the regression of rights in developing countries, particularly those protecting women, sexual and reproductive freedom, migrants, and minorities, highlighted the news outlet.
