    INDEX TO BULLETINS 1-268 OF THE BRITISH WEST INDIES STUDY CIRCLE Published by the British West Indies Study Circle Index to Bulletins 1-260 CONTENTS Preface Month/Year of Bulletins Numbers Anguilla Antigua Bahamas Barbados Barbuda Belize Bermuda British Guiana British Honduras British Virgin Islands British West Indies Cayman Islands Dominica Exhibitions Grenada Grenada Grenadines Guyana Jamaica Leeward Islands Miscellaneous Items Montserrat Nevis St.Christopher St.Christopher, Nevis and Anguilar St.Kitts St.Kitts-Nevis St.Lucia St.Vincent Tobago Trinidad Trinidad and Tobago Turks Islands Turks & Caicos Islands Windward Islands 1 Index to Bulletins 1-268 PREFACE This index has been prepared following on from the sterling efforts of Victor Toeg, who undertook the enormous task of producing the index to bulletins 1-100, and Michael Wilson who produced 101-127 and 128-151, each published as a separate index. With the advent of the Word Processor the opportunity has been taken to convert these original hard copy indexes into electronic format, to amalgamate them into one document, and to bring the index up to date. From this point forward future indexing will be relatively straightforward and the index will be updated within a short period after each bulletin is published. To those members with a PC it will be available on-line, alternatively up-to-date hard copy prints will be available on request from the Publications Officer. The index now provides easy access to an enormous corpus of high quality information covering virtually every topic within British West Indies philately. As the number of subjects covered has expanded over the years it has been deemed necessary to sub-divide the topics under each colony heading into four separate categories, each entry being listed in alphabetical order.

  • The Acceptance of Special Stamps Within the Upu up to 1920
    THE ACCEPTANCE OF SPECIAL STAMPS WITHIN THE UPU UP TO 1920 Limited validity of “Special” stamps between the UPU Congresses of 1897 and 1920 The sender thought that this letter from Switzerland to the UK was correctly franked at 25c with a definitive 10c stamp plus 5c and 10c stamps of the 1916 Pro Juventute issue (within their period of validity). However, this Pro Juventute issue was not accepted in prepayment of mail to the UK as it had only a limited validity period. The Swiss post office marked the offending stamps as invalid and indicated an amount of 30 gold centimes postage due – twice the value of the Pro Juventute franking. On delivery in London, 3d (the equivalent of 30 gold centimes) was charged as postage due. The proliferation of special issues in the mid-1890’s lead to objections from, in particular, the Society for the Suppression of Speculative Stamps (“SSSS”), formed in London on 6 May 1895. These objections were sympathetically received by Heinrich von Stephan, the German Post Minister. The 5th UPU Congress in Washington in May/June 1897 resolved that local special and commemorative issues and issues with a limited period of validity were not to be permitted in prepayment of international mail. This restriction was rescinded at the 7th UPU Congress in Madrid in October/November 1920. This exhibit illustrates the use of special and commemorative issues of stamps and postal stationery to 1920, in principle, on international mail (but exceptionally on internal mail). Its structure is as follows: The special issues up to

  • Amnesty International
    AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL Amnesty International is a movement of 10 million people which mobilizes the humanity in everyone and campaigns for change so we can all enjoy our human rights. Our vision is of a world where those in power keep their promises, respect international law and are held to account. We are independent of any government, political ideology, economic interest or religion and are funded mainly by our membership and individual donations. We believe that acting in solidarity and compassion with people everywhere can change our societies for the better. Amnesty International is impartial. We take no position on issues of sovereignty, territorial disputes or international political or legal arrangements that might be adopted to implement the right to self- determination. This report is organized according to the countries we monitored during the year. In general, they are independent states that are accountable for the human rights situation on their territory.

  • Generalized System of Preferences (GSP): Overview and Issues for Congress
    Generalized System of Preferences (GSP): Overview and Issues for Congress Updated January 7, 2021 Congressional Research Service https://crsreports.congress.gov RL33663 Generalized System of Preferences (GSP): Overview and Issues for Congress Summary The U.S. Generalized System of Preferences (GSP) program provides nonreciprocal, duty-free tariff treatment to certain products imported to the United States from designated beneficiary developing countries (BDCs). Congress first authorized the U.S. program in Title V of the Trade Act of 1974. The European Union and other developed countries have implemented similar programs since the 1970s. Most recently, Congress extended the U.S. GSP program in Division M, Title V of the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2018 (P.L. 115-141). This act extended the GSP program until December 31, 2020, as well as retroactively renewing it for the time period between December 31, 2017 (the previous expiration date) and April 22, 2018. The program expired on December 31, 2020, before Congress passed legislation to reauthorize it. Currently, 119 developing countries and territories are GSP beneficiary developing countries (BDCs). The program provides duty-free entry into the United States for over 3,500 products (based on 8-digit U.S. Harmonized Tariff Schedule tariff lines) from BDCs, and duty-free status to an additional 1,500 products from 44 GSP beneficiaries additionally designated as least- developed beneficiary developing countries (LDBDCs). In 2019, products valued at about $21.0 billion (imports for consumption) entered the United States duty-free under the program, out of $235.1 billion worth of total imports from GSP-eligible countries.
