Czech and Polish diplomats are preparing a proposal for a resolution pointing to human rights violations in Cuba, Czech Foreign Ministry spokesman Ales Pospisil said today in response to a question from CTK.
Both countries have twice put forward similar resolutions in the past at the United Nations Commission on Human Rights. Pospisil denied that the resolution which is being prepared is connected with the recent detention of Czechs deputy Ivan Pilip and Jan Bubenik in Cuba on subversion charges. "We had prepared the resolution a long time before. It has been said too that the resolution could contain that which it had not been possible to push through last year," said Pospisil.
The Czech Republic does not agree with the imposition of blanket economic sanctions against Cuba, he said. "We are for sanctions which would above all hit the originator of the problems," he said. Deputy foreign minister Martin Palous has been in Warsaw this week discussing the preparation of the resolution, which could also be aimed at some other Latin American countries, Pospisil said.
