Austin Clements Under the direction of Dr. Myra Houser History of the Caribbean November 13, 2017 Abstract The history of the Caribbean is one infested with slavery, colonialism, imperialism, and coups d’état. While these are all very important when considering the history of these island nations, what is also equally important is considering that these islands are often seen as tokens and means to convey a message by world superpowers, not as genuine nations that should be respected just as much as any European power.

EXTERNAL (for general distribution) AI Index: AMR 32/01/91 Distr: UA/SC UA 265/91 Death Penalty 1 August 1991 GRENADA: Callistus BERNARD Bernard COARD Leon CORNWALL Lester REDHEAD Ewart LAYNE Amnesty International received reports that the above five prisoners were scheduled to be executed earlier this week. 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).
