“Speaking to a UN committee, Mr Acevedo Vila accused the Bush administration of denying the US territory its democratic right to choose its own course.

Puerto Rico has been a US territory since the late 19th Century, but gained greater autonomy in 1952.

The UN panel voted to support a motion calling on the US to grant Puerto Rico the right to determine its own status. “*
