Perhaps one day, when there is no longer a U.S. veto in the UN Security Council, and when the organization itself demands morality and example from those who have set out to judge the inhabitants of planet Earth, the issue of human rights will cease to be an instrument used by the Empire to justify its own violations.
The U.S. government has given itself such an absurd attribution that it does not even seem that they themselves believe the lies and manipulations that, using the subject, they want to apply against other countries.
On Monday, when Secretary of State Antony Blinken presented the U.S. State Department’s annual report on human rights, he displayed his imperial ego and went to the extreme of calling on the discredited OAS to “demand that Venezuela, Nicaragua and Cuba respect human rights”. This is a recycled argument, devoid of any real content, and a pretext for macabre inventions such as placing Cuba on the list of countries that sponsor terrorism.
This gentleman has forgotten that none of these three Latin American nations has financed or armed the Zionist regime of Israel to commit genocide against the Palestinian population.
In fact, Blinken was the first “special envoy” to arrive in Tel Aviv when Benjamin Netanyahu’s government began massacring the Palestinians 200 days ago, and he declared that “the United States supports Israel in its fight against Gaza”, where, by the way, more than 34,000 Palestinians have already died, including almost 15,000 children.
Nor are Cuba, Nicaragua or Venezuela funding the war in Ukraine, where more than half a million Kiev soldiers have been killed or wounded. There, human rights are daily flouted by the West, and Washington has turned this war into a big business for its military complex. Neither Venezuela, nor Nicaragua, nor Cuba sanction another country, much less bet on the “suffocation” of a people, as the United States has been doing against Cuba for more than 60 years.
In his report in X, Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodríguez Parrilla wrote: “The US Secretary of State is not concerned about the human rights of the Cuban people, which he is violating with measures of suffocation and extreme blockade, or those of the massacred Palestinian people. He is concerned about the rights of arms producers and their objectives of domination and plunder”.
