Not only is Libya the chair of the United Nations Commission on Human Rights – now Cuba has been elected to the U.N. Human Rights Commission for another three-year term. Cuba, of course, has recently been jailing and murdering Cuban dissidents.
The United States walked out of a United Nations meeting Tuesday to protest Cuba’s election to the U.N. Human Rights Commission for another three-year term.
“It was an outrage for us because we view Cuba as the worst violator of human rights in this hemisphere,” said Sichan Siv, the U.S. ambassador to the U.N. Economic and Social Council, which elected 24 new members to the top U.N. human rights watchdog.
