Perez Esquivel: Cuban Solidarity Example of Human Rights

HAVANA, Cuba, Feb 6. "Cuba's solidarity with other nations is an indisputable example of human rights," said Argentinean Adolfo Perez Esquivel, the 1980 Nobel Peace Prize for his work in favor of human rights.

"In spite of the unjust US blockade against the Island, Cuba sends doctors, teachers and technicians to assist nations in need," Perez Esquivel told Presa Latina news agency on Thursday as Cuba presented its report on human rights at the Universal Periodic Review of the UN Human Rights Council.

The prestigious intellectual, who is also the president of the Peace and Justice Service Foundation, stressed that the issue of human rights should be assessed in an integral manner, always considering mutual respect as well as political, economic and social rights.
