Cuba Accuses the United States of "Pathological Lies" to Justify the Blockade at the UN
In a convincing reply before the General Assembly, the Cuban delegation denounced Washington's hostile policy, maintained for more than six decades, as the greatest violation of its people's human rights.

Below, full transcript of the Cuban delegation's reply.
