  • Grenada's New Jewel Movement
    INTERNATIONAL Lessons of losing power Grenada's New Jewel Movement In October 1983 a US force of 80 000 marines invaded the Caribbean island of Grenada bringing to an abrupt end the five year revolutionary experiment of the New Jewel Movement (NJM) led by Maurice Bishop. Although condemned by anti-imperialist and progressive forces world-wide, the American invasion was apparently welcomed by wide sections of the Grenadan population. DIDACUS JULES, Deputy Secretary for Education in the Provisional Revolutionary Government (PRG) of Grenada, 1979-83, spoke to Barbara Creecy* about the lessons of losing power in Grenada. _ For 25 years prior to 1979, l/T .Yr|Vl|YriYitV^[V questioning who were the ::::;:::::::;::; ••:::;:::::>;::;::: Grenada was governed by li.. ..•;;; black faces in office and Eric Gairy who assumed whether they were serving leadership of the 1951 revol­ the interests of the black •jT\ d£»i_ ution when the masses rose North masses. against the bad working con­ ^ America There were a number of in­ ditions they faced.

The five are among fourteen former members of the People's Revolutionary Government (PRG) sentenced to death in 1986 for the murder of Prime Minister Maurice Bishop and others in 1983. Appeals in the case of all fourteen were dismissed on 10 July 1991. It has since been reported that temporary stays of execution have been granted in the above cases, pending the hearing of a last-minute motion filed by the prisoners' lawyers. The motion is due to be heard by the Grenada Court of Appeal on 7 August 1991, and it seeks a further stay of execution on a number of grounds. However, if the motion is unsuccessful, executions could still be scheduled after that date. It is feared that the government may wish to execute the above prisoners before returning Grenada to the East Caribbean Supreme Court (ECSC) system which would restore the right of appeal to the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council (JCPC) in London (see below).

According to NEW YORK TIMES reporter, Joseph Treaster (10/25/87), time, money and advice from the US and other nations have "begun to heal the wounds." Meanwhile, no one has forgotten the execution of popular leftist prime minister Maurice Bishop by his own troops, and the fear of more violence, from within and without. Grenada, with a population of about 92,000, is a conservative and mainly Christian country. Most people acknowledge they had a love affair with Bishop, but they say they never subscribed to his government's marxism. And they say they doubt Bishop himself was a marxist. Some Grenadians say they yearn for the excitement of the Bishop rallies and the national pride they felt when he spoke.

  • Grenada As Looking Glass: Playing the “Russian Game” in the Americas
    CHRISTIANITY & CRISIS, Vol. 44, No. 7 (30 April 1984), 154-160 Grenada as looking glass: Playing the “Russian game” in the Americas By Andrew Reding “LOOKING BACK on Grenada,” James Finn has suggested (C&C, April 2), is a useful exercise. It is indeed—but not, as Finn would have it, so that those who criticized the U.S. invasion of last October can now be led to confess their error. Rather because the invasion was a revealing symbol of a fundamental misdirection in U.S. foreign policy— how far it departs from our national ideals, how fundamentally it distorts the relationship between elected leaders and the citizenry, how dangerous it is to this nation and the world. Grenada is a problem not because U.S. actions there were unjustly criticized but rather because the lessons of the event may be neglected or forgotten. If that happens, it will not be for the first time. To understand Grenada it will be helpful to look even further back, because the 1983 invasion is in many disturbing ways reminiscent of this country’s conquest of the Philippines at the turn of the century. Both actions were justified on grounds that appeared to be expressions of basic American tenets. It was said that we were taking action to rescue peoples who were being hopelessly brutalized by governments imposed upon them by outside forces—Spain in the case of the Philippines, Cuba and the Soviet Union in the case of Grenada. In both instances assurances were given at the outset that we were seeking no selfish gains for ourselves, but only to extend to others the blessings of freedom and democracy.

  • DRAFT Workshop Report
    Caribbean Emergency Legislation Project National Workshop Flamboyant Hotel and Villas Bougainvillea Conference Room St. George’s, Grenada March 22, 2010 9:00 a.m. – 4:30 p.m. DRAFT Workshop Report Introduction In the context of the Caribbean Emergency Legislation Project (CELP), the Department of Sustainable Development conducted the first of two national workshops in Grenada. The objective of the workshop was to share project findings and experiences at the national level regarding disaster and emergency management. Moreover, the workshop aimed at establishing a dialogue on best practices that would be applicable to the disaster legislation in Grenada and the Caribbean. Opening remarks and General overview of the workshop Mr. Terence Craig, OAS Representative, welcomed the workshop’s participants and briefly highlighted OAS initiatives in the area of disaster management. Following Mr. Craig, Mr. Timothy N.J. Antoine, Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Finance, Planning, Economy, Energy and Cooperatives, provided the main opening remarks. Mr. Antoine pointed out the importance of convening the workshop, and went on to mention the region’s dependency on tourism and its vulnerability to natural disaster. He noted that it was necessary to minimize vulnerability and increase resilience. Mr. Antoine emphasized that national development demands a comprehensive approach to disaster management, which Page 1 of 39 could be furthered by such joint initiatives as those taken by conducting Workshop. Moreover, he pointed to immediate concerns such as the fact that Grenada was experiencing a drought, and that proper preparation was required for the 2010 hurricane season. Mr. Antoine also shared some lessons learnt regarding the management of national disasters from other nations such as Chile and Cuba.
