Special Rapporteur Maria Grazia Giammarinaro is expected to visit a school and meet parliament leader Esteban Lazo during the four-day visit beginning today. She also has scheduled trips to the provinces of Matanzas and Artemisa.
Such UN visits are routine in other countries, but Cuba has generally rejected inspections by international organisations. The government has relaxed that stance somewhat in recent years, and state officials welcomed Giammarinaro upon her arrival and stressed that Cuba has a zero-tolerance policy on trafficking.
