"Why do some people have to walk barefoot for others to travel in luxurious automobiles? Why do some people have to live 35 years for others to live 70? Why do some people have to be miserably poor for others to be exaggeratedly rich? I speak in the name of the children in the world who do not have a piece of bread; I speak in the name of the sick who do not have medicine; I speak in the name of those who have been denied the right to life and human dignity."
Thus Fidel questioned, in 1979, at the UN, the concept of Human Rights.
On a day like today, but in 1948, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights was approved. It is a historic document that establishes the inalienable rights that every person has, regardless of race, color, religion, sex, language, political or any other opinion, national or social origin, economic position, birth or any other condition.
No declaration compares to it in greatness, but none has been so manipulated by those who seek to turn it into an instrument for their spurious purposes of domination. While condemning, for political interests, those who fully comply with human rights, deaf ears are turned to the violation of the most elementary of these: the right to life.
Zionism turns a region into a cemetery for children, women and the elderly; in the U.S.A. millions of human beings lack medical insurance, a roof to live in, and employment; in many parts of the world, minorities are discriminated against and are unaware of elementary rights...
It is necessary to see how much the text is respected in Old Europe; note the fate of the millions of migrants who cross the Mediterranean Sea from Africa, children of plundering and wars promoted by NATO.
Cuba, signatory of 44 international instruments for the protection of these rights, the only country in Latin America and the Caribbean that fulfilled all the global goals of Education for All in the period 2000-2015, the nation with the best ratio of doctors per inhabitant, according to the who; with universal and free care, is accused by the infernal machinery of hatred of violating human rights.
No geography on the planet knows better than the largest of the Antilles, the table of double standards and the gross political manipulation that is rehearsed against a nation. (Source: Granma)
