Cuba Assails Double Standards on Human Rights Issue
Pyongyang, March 5 (KCNA) -- The deputy foreign minister of Cuba accused the United States and other Western powers of their ideological manipulation, political hypocrisy and double standards on human rights issue.

Speaking at the 19th session of the UN Human Rights Council on Thursday, he said human rights are not the real motivation of those who have promoted biased special sessions, selective resolutions, setting special rapporteurs on countries and other specific forms against the Southern nations.

The objectives of those powers are to ensure large reserves of oil and water and confiscate financial assets in times of social or economic crisis, he denounced.
