  • Barbados 2018 Human Rights Report
    BARBADOS 2018 HUMAN RIGHTS REPORT EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Barbados is a multiparty parliamentary democracy. In the May national elections, voters elected Prime Minister Mia Mottley of the Barbados Labour Party (BLP). Observers considered the vote generally free and fair. Civilian authorities maintained effective control over the security forces. Human rights issues included reports of torture by some police officers to obtain confessions, and consensual same-sex activity between men, although this was not enforced during the year. 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 no reports the government or its agents committed arbitrary or unlawful killings. b. Disappearance There were no reports of disappearances by or on behalf of government authorities. c. Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman, or Degrading Treatment or Punishment The constitution prohibits such practices, but there continued to be complaints against the police alleging assault, intimidation, and other unprofessional conduct. According to human rights activists, suspects occasionally accused police of beating them to obtain confessions, and suspects often recanted their confessions during trial. Suspects and their family members continued to allege coercion by police, but there was no evidence of systematic police abuse. Prison and Detention Center Conditions There were no significant reports regarding prison or detention center conditions that raised human rights concerns. BARBADOS 2 Administration: Two agencies--the Office of the Ombudsman and the Prison Advisory Board--are responsible for investigating credible allegations of mistreatment. The Prison Advisory Board conducted monthly visits. Independent Monitoring: Authorities allowed human rights organizations access to monitor prison conditions.

    nr:i A W BARBADOS LABOUR PARTY General Elections1981 H' !•!; B^pi •".EM Foreword «l A political Party in power will be judged mainly on its record and the Barbados Labour Party is more than willing to submit its record to the close scrutiny and critical judgement of theelectorate of Barbados. Consequently, we have published a document. Promises and Performance, to facilitate that scrutiny and that judgement. We have also organised ourcampaign insucha way that the straight hardfactsmaybe brought out in the open and kept therefor all to see. The record is one of which any political Party can be justly proud. In the last 5 years Barbados, unlike almost every other country in the world, has shown continuous and substantial real economic growth, and the Gross Domestic Product has doubled from $700 million in 1975 to $1,461 billion in 1980. This economic growth has led to thecreation of 25,000 jobs since 1975-76, and at the same time domestic productivity has increased so that wages have grown much faster than prices. Inflation rates have declined, so that from generally having the highest price increases in Caricom under the DLP Government, we now have the lowest. Reductions in personal income tax have been so substantial as to reduce thetax bite by 30% and the income level at which income tax starts has been raised from $25 weekly to $115. Old Age and other pensions have been raised three times in years, unemployment benefits have been introduced and the first phases ofthe National Health Service implemented in the ThirdWorld's first comprehensive Social Security System.

New Zealand skittled Scotland out for 142 after putting them into bat, effectively ensuring there would be no repeat of Monday’s match when Ireland, another non-Test nation, downed the West Indies.

  • The History of Political Independence and Its Future
    The Time of Sovereignty: The History of Political Independence and its Future Dr. Richard Drayton Monday, November 28, 2016 Frank Collymore Hall Tom Adams Financial Centre It is a great honour, pleasure and privilege to give the Sir Winston Scott Memorial Lecture of the Central Bank of Barbados. It is particularly moving to me to look out at this crowd of 500 and see so many people I have known for over forty years, and in particular so many of the elders who formed me. I am conscious that my predecessors include such senior figures in the history of economics as Ernst Schumacher and the Nobel Laureate Joseph Stiglitz and such deans of Caribbean intellectual life as Rex Nettleford and Gordon Rohlehr. I am particularly humbled, as a Barbadian, to give this 41st Lecture as part of the 50th anniversary celebrations of the independence of Barbados. (Clearly, Rihanna was unavailable). I came to this island from Guyana only as a boy of 8. So it was not from hazard of birth but mature choice that I joined you in citizenship. I take no second place to the birth right Bajan in my love for this rock in which my roots are tangled with yours for all time. Our 50th anniversary is a joyful occasion. It is at the same time as a sobering one, when one reflects on the generations of ancestors, living and dying under conditions of the most extraordinary inhumanity, who made our presence today possible. If this Golden Jubilee celebration has any meaning, we need to remember why we sought political sovereignty.

  • Barbados 2020 Human Rights Report
    BARBADOS 2020 HUMAN RIGHTS REPORT EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Barbados is a parliamentary democracy led by Prime Minister Mia Mottley of the Barbados Labour Party. The Barbados Labour Party won all 30 parliamentary seats in the 2018 election. A former Barbados Labour Party member of Parliament became an independent in order to serve as the formal leader of the opposition. Queen Elizabeth II is the head of state and is represented by the governor general, who certifies all legislation on her behalf. The Royal Barbados Police Force is responsible for domestic law enforcement, including migration and border enforcement. The police and all other law enforcement agencies report to the attorney general. The Barbados Defence Force protects national security and may be called upon to maintain public order in times of crisis, emergency, or other specific needs. The defense force reports to the minister of defense and security. The law provides that the police may request defense force assistance with special joint patrols. Civilian authorities maintained effective control over the police and defense forces. There were no reports that the security forces committed any serious abuses. Significant human rights issues included: trafficking in persons, and the criminalization of consensual same-sex sexual conduct between adults. Authorities did not enforce the law on same-sex sexual conduct during the year. The government had mechanisms in place to identify and punish officials who may commit human rights abuses. 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 no reports the government or its agents committed arbitrary or unlawful killings.
