Barbados Advocate Established October 1895 See inside Monday April 26, 2021 $1 VAT Inclusive CRUCIAL TIME FOR STRONG LEADERSHIP AS the nation struggles to cope in these unset- tling times, an Anglican Cleric is of the view that strong leadership is ever so crucial. What is presently re- quired is the making of hard and difficult deci- sions, according to The Rev. Canon Wayne Isaacs. He warned that now is not a time for leaders who are soft or weak and afraid to make difficult decisions for the common good. “The present time in our nation, the region and the world require leaders who are self-confident, passion- ate, inspiring – people who have a vision; a vision of where they want to go; where they want the na- tion to go; where they want the institution to go,” the Priest-in-charge of St. Mary’s Church insisted. “And hence, the present time demands leaders who are demanding in the sense that they trust peo- ple and set them goals that are attainable. And the present time in our na- tion and the world calls for leaders who are willing to share, utilise the skills of ABOVE: To commemorate The Diabetes and Hypertension Association of Barbados’ 46th anniversary, members, and persons sup- portive of the Association joined the congregation of St. Mary’s Church, yesterday.

    Riskline / Country Report / 29 August 2021 TRINIDAD AND TOBAGO Overall risk level High Reconsider travel Can be dangerous and may present unexpected security risks Travel is possible, but there is a potential for disruptions Overview Emergency Numbers Medical 811 Upcoming Events There are no upcoming events scheduled Riskline / Country Report / 29 August 2021 / Trinidad and Tobago 2 Travel Advisories Riskline / Country Report / 29 August 2021 / Trinidad and Tobago 3 Summary Trinidad and Tobago is a High Risk destination: reconsider travel. High Risk locations can be dangerous and may present unexpected security risks. Travel is possible, but there is a potential for severe or widespread disruptions. Covid-19 High Risk A steep uptick in infections reported as part of a second wave in April-June prompted authorities to reimpose restrictions on movement and business operations. Infection rates are increasing again since July. International travel remains limited to vaccinated travellers only. Political Instability Low Risk A parliamentary democracy led by centrist Prime Minister Keith Rowley, Trinidad and Tobago's democracy is firmly entrenched thanks to a well-established system of checks and balances that helped it remain resilient in the face of sources of instability like politically motivated murders in 1980 and an Islamist coup attempt in 1990. Despite its status as a regional and economic leader in the Caribbean, the nation faces challenges of corruption allegations in the highest level of government and an extensive drug trade and associated crime that affects locals and tourists alike. Conflict Low Risk Trinidad and Tobago has been engaged in a long-standing, and at times confrontational, dispute over fishing rights with Barbados that also encompasses other resources like oil and gas.

    January 6th, 2020 Dr. The Honourable Keith Rowley Prime Minister | Minister of Planning and Development Ministry of Planning and Development Level 14, Eric Williams Financial Complex Independence Square, Port of Spain Honourable Prime Minister: Re: The establishment of the National Council for Sustainable Development (NCSD) Civil society in Trinidad and Tobago writes to draw your attention to the fact that the date of actualisation of the National Council for Sustainable Development, as mandated in the National Environmental Policy (NEP) for establishment within a year of the NEP being laid in Parliament on November 2nd, 2018, has passed. Civil society strongly urges the Ministry of Planning and Development to establish the NCSD at the earliest of opportunities, while ensuring that civil society’s voice is represented in its design and implementation. In the Ministry of Planning and Development’s foreword to the National Development Strategy (NDS) 2016-2030, Vision 2030, it was stated clearly that “achieving sustainable economic growth through greater diversification of the economy, as well as improving the social conditions and quality of life of citizens in an inclusive and environmentally sensitive manner” must include all of us acting in concert. Of course, this echoes the underpinning sentiments of the Sustainable Development Goals that we must all work together towards development that leaves no one behind. We were further encouraged, as public interest organizations, to see emphasis placed on the inclusion of Transparency, Public Participation and Access to Information as key tenets within the latest National Environmental Policy (NEP). The commitment to these principles is evident in the time-bound pledge to establish a National Council for Sustainable Development (NCSD) within one year of the NEP coming into effect.

  • Iveco Sponsors the Women's Artistic Gymnastics World Champion
    Iveco sponsors the Women’s Artistic Gymnastics World Champion, Vanessa Ferrari Iveco has announced its sponsorship of Vanessa Ferrari, who won the World Artistic Gymnastics Championship in Aarhus (Denmark), where she obtained, in addition to the gold medal in the overall women’s competition, a double bronze medal in the uneven bars and the floor exercise. Iveco will be backing Vanessa Ferrari starting from the Artistic Gymnastics European Championships on Saturday 28 April, and the company will support her up until the end of the 2008 Peking Olympic Games. The agreement, which also includes the Associazione Sportiva Brixia where Vanessa trains and competes, follows on from Iveco’s donation of land adjacent to its Brescia factory where Iveco Eurocargo vehicles are assembled, to the Municipality of Brescia for the new gym, which will be used by the Brixia sports association for its athletic and technical training. This sponsorship marks a major step for Iveco, whose company values are a perfect match for the values of the Brixia sports association and its athletes: performance, reliability, teamwork, an ability to keep promises and, most of all, a determination to achieve winning results. Iveco’s values are essential to achieving results, whether in sports or in business, regardless of the spirit and expression of the individual disciplines. As part of the sponsorship agreement, Iveco is also Vanessa Ferrari’s “Official Carrier”, and in this role the company will supply a specially prepared Daily Minibus, appropriately equipped, to the Brixia sports association for the team’s logistics requirements. Vanessa Ferrari Vanessa Ferrari (Orzinuovi, 10 November 1990) is the 2006 Artistic Gymnastics World Champion.

  • Trinidad and Tobago 2020 Human Rights Report
    TRINIDAD AND TOBAGO 2020 HUMAN RIGHTS REPORT EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Republic of Trinidad and Tobago is a parliamentary democracy governed by a prime minister and a bicameral legislature. The island of Tobago’s House of Assembly has some administrative autonomy over local matters. In the August 10 parliamentary elections, the ruling People’s National Movement, led by Keith Rowley, defeated the opposition United National Congress led by Kamla Persad- Bissessar. Local media observers considered the elections generally free and fair. The Ministry of National Security oversees three major divisions: police, immigration, and defense. Police maintain internal security. The defense force, which includes the coast guard, is responsible for external security but also has certain domestic security responsibilities. The coast guard is responsible for maritime border security in places where there are no official ports of entry. Civilian authorities maintained effective control over the security forces. There were reports of significant abuses by the security forces. Significant human rights issues included: unlawful or arbitrary killings by police, refoulement of asylum seekers, and serious acts of corruption. The government took steps to identify, investigate, prosecute, and punish officials who committed human rights abuses, but impunity persisted because of open- ended investigations and the generally slow pace of criminal judicial proceedings. Section 1. Respect for the Integrity of the Person, Including Freedom from: a. Arbitrary Deprivation of Life and Other Unlawful or Politically Motivated Killings There were credible reports that police committed arbitrary or unlawful killings. Witnesses and videos called into question the accuracy of official reports on killings by police. In June, hours after a police officer was shot and killed in Morvant, a community on the island of Trinidad, police officers went into the area and killed three men who officers said fired upon them.
