Cuba: U.N. Rights Pacts to Be Signed
Published: December 11, 2007
Foreign Minister Felipe Pérez Roque
said Cuba would sign the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights
and the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, in
force since 1976. Yesterday was International Human Rights Day, which he said
Cuba celebrated “holding its head high,” according to Agence France-Presse. In
a nearby Havana square, government supporters were shoving and shouting at
about a dozen dissidents who had held a protest calling for improved human
rights on the island.
