U.S. ATTACKS ON CUBA Demonstrate
against the US misuse of the UN Commission on Human Rights. |
From March 14th to April 22nd, 2005, the 61st session of the UN Commission on Human Rights will take place in Geneva, where again the US will try to pass a resolution against Cuba. We know there is no basis to condemn Cuba on the issue of human rights violations, their record on respecting and upholding basic human rights is acknowledged world wide as an international model. However because of the US's belligerent stance towards many countries, we believe that such a human rights resolution, could be used to justify increased aggression against Cuba. The UN Commission must represent every UN member State and ensure respect for the rights of all men and women worldwide. However, within the UN Commission, it was impossible to evaluate or even debate the atrocious violations of human rights taking place in U.S. prisons in Abuh Ghraib and Guantanamo. Don’t allow the UN Commission to be used to legitimize the Bush administration’s aggressive policy against the poor of the world! |
Join No War on Cuba and EPICA at 5 pm at the Cuban Interests Section (on the front sidewalk) 2630 16th Street, NW Washington DC. |

Join the Majority - Change the Policy |
April 27th is Cuba
Action Day, when Americans from
all walks of life will gather in Washington to tell Members of Congress
they want to change U.S. policy toward Cuba.
A majority of Americans
believe the policy of isolating Cuba should be replaced
by a new policy of engagement with Cuba.
With your help and participation, 2005 will be the year for taking the will of the majority and making it the policy of the United States. It’s your chance to join the majority, and change the policy. Spread the word. Download this printable flyer. Schedule. |
