Cuba’s damning exposé of attempts to definitively subjugate the UN

UNITED NATIONS, September 8.—Cuba exposed here today that the UN General Assembly’s attention has been diverted toward a supposed reform that, far from making it more democratic, seeks to subject it all the more to the interests of the powerful, PL reports.

The extraordinary session of the UN General Assembly of next week has been "completely diverted and its original intention hijacked," stated Ricardo Alarcón, president of the Cuban Parliament, in a speech read out by Ambassador Orlando Requeijo.

Alarcón should have attended the 2nd Parliamentary Presidents Conference that began yesterday at the UN headquarters, but was refused a visa by the U.S. authorities.
