Cuba condemns Racism, Discrimination before UNHRC

Source: Radio Cadena Agramonte

Cuba denounced before the UN Human Rights Council the re-emergence of racism, discrimination and xenophobia in some countries, mainly in the industrialized North. During a debate on the issue at the UNHRC, Cuban delegate Juan Antonio Quintanilla recalled that 10 years after the Conference of Durban, the full implementation of its Declaration and Action Program is still pending.

The creation of associations and political parties of racist, xenophobic, anti-immigrant base persists. The social exclusion and marginalization of peoples, ethnic groups, minorities and other social groups and individuals prevails, said Quintanilla.

The diplomat said that discriminatory immigration policies and laws proliferate, affecting millions of Latin Americans, Asians and Africans, "whose rights are violated on a daily basis."

He said that the anti-terrorist regulations being currently adopted and implemented, facilitate arbitrariness and the exercise of public authority on racist, xenophobic grounds and stereotypes.
