[edit] Human Rights
[edit] Human Rights of Cuba Short Article
I suggest the following section for the “human rights of Cuba” section for the following reasons:
- 1) It recognizes that Cuba’s human rights is a controversy issue.
- 2) It marks the year when United States started a propaganda campaign against Cuba’s human rights.
- 3) It provides Cuba’s point of view about human rights.
- 4) It mentions that Cuba believes in “three generations of Human Rights”
- 5) It describes the composition of those who most frequently criticize Cuba’s human rights.
SUGGESTED HUMAN RIGHTS OF CUBA SECTION
Controversy surrounds Cuba’s human rights record since 1959. Cuba’s human rights values stem from the Declaration and Program of Action, adopted at the World Conference on Human Rights in 1993. statements on human rights records, recognizes and supports the “universal, indivisible, interdependent and interrelated character of all human rights.” At the same time, Cuba understands that no single model of “political, economic, social and cultural” exists. Cuba holds as fact that “human rights, civil, political, economic, social and cultural rights, including the right to development, should be treated in a global form, in a fair and equal way, in an equal footing and giving the same importance to all” of the different rights. Cuba also understands the need for “respect for national and regional particularities, as well as for the diverse historical, cultural and religious heritages.” Cuba advocates all generations of Human Rights.
Moreover, “Cuba promotes and defends the principles of objectivity, impartiality and non selectivity in the treatment of issues related to human rights, and the refusal to use them with political dominance purposes.” On the other hand, “Cuba rejects the growing trend of countries in the North,” which set themselves “up as judges and censors of all that happens in countries in the South.” These countries in the North “hide the countless human rights violations that take place in their own territories plus others derived from the unjust international order they are imposing in their own benefit.”
For many years, several groups have accused Cuba of human rights violations. These groups include the United States, the anti-Castro Cuban-Americans in Miami, and others, usually conservatives criticize Cuba’s 1st generation rights or negative rights issues. These issues include free speech, representation in government, and the political-economic system.
QUESTIONS:
1) How long should a suggestion stay on the “Talk Page” before a suggestion can be transferred to the “Main Document”?
2) What does one do with the older material in the human rights section? Transfer it to the main human rights of Cuba article?
