The present Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women (Hereafter CEDAW) Report for the Cooperative Republic of Guyana (hereafter Guyana) outlines key measures adopted by the State Party in implementing CEDAW within its jurisdiction from 2004 to 2010. The State Party respectfully submits that it has incorporated information in light of paragraph 323 of the Beijing Platform for Action with particular attention to the 12 critical areas of concern; The Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action and the gender dimensions of declarations, platforms and programmes of action adopted by relevant United Nations conferences, summits and special sessions of the General Assembly. 2. The issues addressed were identified through an examination of the valuable concluding comments particularly concerns and recommendations by the CEDAW Committee from the previous third, fourth, fifth and sixth reports (CEDAW/C/SR.689 and 690) considered on 8 July 2005 as well as CEDAW/C/SR.527. These observations were provided to the Cabinet, sectoral Ministries and other government bodies. 3. Guyana believes that consultation is an on-going process as opposed to one off occasional events. Guyana therefore respectfully submits that consultation has been on- going on the key and critical issues that have been reported on in this report. There is no policy, programme nor issue of national importance that has not been subjected to review by Cabinet, national stakeholders, communities, non-governmental bodies including women’s organizations, civil society, the media and/or parliamentarians at various stages of the consultative process. 4. Guyana is committed to promoting the equality of women in all spheres based on its obligations arising out of CEDAW and other Human Rights instruments/ standards so that women can realize their full potential as equals in society. The Government of Guyana (hereafter GoG) reaffirms its belief in and commitment to upholding fundamental human rights, and, it holds that all rights are universal, indivisible, interdependent and mutually reinforcing. The GoG recognizes that women’s rights are human rights. 5. The following documents provided useful statistical data and policy direction, in the preparation of this report, some are posted on websites as indicated in Appendix I attached: − “STAMP

Rambarran School of Economics, University of Hyderabad Abstract: This paper seeks to critically examine the likely economic and social implications of the recent amendments to the ‘Anti-Money laundering and countering the Financing of Terrorism (Amendment) Act 2015’ (AML-CFTA 2015 Act) on a small, developing, open economy, Guyana. This paper examines the amendments to original 2009 Bill and whether this new act, given the complexities of the small, developing country, would serve to promote the best economic interest of its people who, are at critical juncture of their national development. The paper serves to hypothesize and examine not only macroeconomic implications, but also microeconomic behaviour, and the implication on the behaviour of agents within society directly and indirectly affected by this bill. Keywords: Anti-Money laundering, Terrorism, Narco-trafficking, Growth, Crime, Development JEL classification: K14, K22, K42, D72, D73 I.

Granger President of the Co-operative Republic of Guyana Your Excellency, In my capacity as Chairman of the Walter Rodney Commission of Inquiry, I have the honour to submit the Report of the Inquiry to which the President appointed us by Instrument dated 8th February, 2014. The Commissioners were, in the Instrument of Appointment, expected to submit their Report within ten (10) weeks from the start of the Commission. The Commission started its work on 28th April, 2014. As we understand it, the premise informing the early submission date was that the Commission coming thirty-four (34) years after the death of Dr. Walter Rodney and the events surrounding that event, would, in all probability, be supported by only a few persons volunteering to give evidence and/or having an interest in this matter.
