Venezuelan Ambassador denounces the United States at United Nations http://english.eluniversal.com/2010/03/16/en_pol_esp_venezuela-denounces_16A3595091.shtml

German Mundarain, the Venezuelan Ambassador to the United Nations, has accused the government of the United States of slandering Venezuela. The Venezuelan envoy delivered a speech before the plenary of the UN Human Rights Commission.

"The country that tells lies to attack us wrongfully is the same country that violates most human rights in the planet and has the darkest record of violations and abuses of human dignity in modern history. It is the only country that has used the atomic bomb on civilians, and is the political and military leader in armed conflicts raging in the world," Mundarain said, referring to the United States.

"The United States continues to demonize the peoples and governments that are not subject to its control. They have the support of international media corporations to trivialize the accomplishments made by leftist countries in their struggle for full observance of human rights," the former Venezuelan Ombudsman said.
