California Lighthouse The old stone California lighthouse is within sight of the Tierra del Sol golf course and is popularly named for the off-shore wreck of the famous ship, “California.” Perched on a high seaside elevation, the lighthouse has become one of Aruba’s scenic trademarks and offers a picture perfect view of the island’s western coastline of sandy beaches.

Tierra Del Sol Golf Course At the island’s northwest tip is Aruba’s first world- class golf course. The 18-hole, par-71 course was designed by Robert Trent Jones II to take full advantage of Aruba’s unique and rugged natural surroundings. From the wild, green parakeets on the organ-pipe cactus to the lizards and salamanders that bask on rock formations, the wildlife of Tierra del Sol has become an attraction in its own right.

  • Netherlands 2019 Human Rights Report
    THE NETHERLANDS 2019 HUMAN RIGHTS REPORT EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Kingdom of the Netherlands, a parliamentary constitutional monarchy, consists of four equal autonomous countries: the Netherlands, Aruba, Curacao, and Sint Maarten. The kingdom retains responsibility for foreign policy, defense, and other “kingdom issues.” The Netherlands includes the Caribbean islands of Bonaire, Saba, and Sint Eustatius, which are special municipalities. The six Caribbean entities collectively are known as the Dutch Caribbean. The Netherlands has a bicameral parliament. The country’s 12 provincial councils elect the First Chamber, and the Second Chamber is elected by popular vote. A prime minister and a cabinet representing the governing political parties exercise executive authority. Aruba, Curacao, and Sint Maarten have unicameral parliamentary systems, and each island country has one minister plenipotentiary representing them in the Kingdom Council of Ministers. Ultimate responsibility for safeguarding fundamental human rights and freedoms in all kingdom territories lies with the kingdom’s ministerial council, which includes the Dutch government and the plenipotentiary ministers of Curacao, Aruba, and Sint Maarten. (Note: The adjective “Dutch” throughout this report refers to “the Netherlands.”) Elections for seats in the European Parliament on May 23 and the Netherlands’ First Chamber on May 27 were considered free and fair. The national police maintain internal security in the Netherlands and report to the Ministry of Justice and Security, which oversees law enforcement organizations, as do the justice ministries in Aruba, Curacao, and Sint Maarten. The kingdom’s armed forces report to the Ministry of Defense and are responsible for external security but also have some domestic security responsibilities.

  • Race, Color, and Nationalism in Aruban and Curaçaoan Political Identities
    Thamyris/Intersecting No. 27 (2014) 117–132 Race, Color, and Nationalism in Aruban and Curaçaoan Political Identities Michael Orlando Sharpe This chapter focuses on the development and instrumentalization of race and color based Aruban and Curaçaoan nationalisms within processes of decolonization and reconstitution in the context of Dutch sovereignty and Dutch liberal democracy. I argue this instrumentalization of race and color as markers of national identity takes place within an overall framework of white supremacy. The following will describe the current political construction of the Dutch Kingdom and examine Aruban and Curaçaoan national myths of origin along with a brief history of Dutch colonialism and slavery including the 20th century relevance of oil refinement on these islands. Next, there will a discussion of the significance of the 1954 Charter for the Kingdom of the Netherlands or Statuut and the key role of Curaçao’s labor unrest of 30 May 1969 or “Trinta de Mei” in the development and deployment of racially and color based Aruban and Curaçaoan nationalisms as “invented traditions” and “social engineer- ing.” The chapter will conclude with an examination of the ways in which these notions of race and racism are reified in the Netherlands today. This discussion centers on developments around the Netherlands Antilles prior to its dissolution on 10 October 2010. Before 10/10/10, the Kingdom of the Netherlands was made up of the Netherlands, the Netherlands Antilles, and Aruba. The Netherlands Antilles was a federation of the five island states of Curaçao (admin- istrative capital), Bonaire, Saba, St. Eustatius, and St. Maarten. The current Dutch Kingdom consists of the Netherlands, Aruba, Curaçao, and St.

  • Technical Assistance Program for Disaster Risk Financing and Insurance in Caribbean Overseas Countries and Territories
    Technical Assistance Program for Disaster Risk Financing and Insurance in Caribbean Overseas Countries and Territories The Technical Assistance Program for Disaster Risk Financing and Insurance (DRFI) in Caribbean Overseas Countries and Territories (OCTs) launched in 2019, is a partnership between the European Union (EU), the World Bank Group, and the Global Facility for Disaster Reduction and Recovery (GFDRR). The Program is part of the EU-funded Caribbean OCTs Resilience, Sustainable Energy and Marine Biodiversity Program (ReSEMBiD), implemented by Expertise France, the World Bank and GFDRR. The objective of the Technical Assistance Program for DRFI in Caribbean OCTs is to enhance long term resilience and adaptation capacity in the Caribbean OCTs to adapt to extreme and recurrent natural events, to the benefit of the most vulnerable. | What we do | The Program supports the development of innovative disaster risk financing options, capacity building within OCTs on use of existing risk transfer mechanisms like the Caribbean Catastrophe Risk Insurance Facility (CCRIF) and working with the OCTs to promote informed decision-making on disaster risk financing. Specifically, activities focus on carrying out gap analysis for disaster risk financing, including both financial and policy considerations, and assessing demand for sovereign disaster risk financing products, identifying the financial exposure or contingent liability to geophysical and climate related disasters, enhancing the understanding of different yet complementary disaster risk financing tools, such as indemnity insurance, parametric products and contingency South-south knowledge exchange on disaster funds among others, to help them manage their risk financing products and budget classification fiscal risks related to natural disasters. will also be conducted, and activities.

  • 1 Methodist Education and Sociopolitical Development in Montserrat the Absence of Sustained Missionary Efforts Towards the Devel
    Methodist Education and Sociopolitical Development in Montserrat The absence of sustained missionary efforts towards the development of educational institutions for African slaves in the Caribbean has been documented.1 A closer analysis, however, credits the Wesleyan contribution to education in Montserrat with being a significant agent of societal transformation, certainly by effect if not by design. This was in some sense linked to the movement's self-understanding related to its mission to spread scriptural holiness for the transformation of the nation. While "the nation" referred in principle to Britain, the mandate to transform would, a century later, be extended to the Caribbean where the Methodist movement was pioneered in 1760 by Nathaniel Gilbert, an Antiguan born planter of British parentage, after his 1759 encounter in England with John Wesley. As early as 1809, Anne Gilbert had defied authorities and established a school at English Harbour in Antigua, from where Methodism made its way to the nearby island of Montserrat.2 In Montserrat as in the Leeward Islands generally, the Methodist missionary support for education was at odds with that of the Establishment which was essentially an extension of the Anglican Church and which fostered a certain parochialism that extended British ecclesiastical feuds into the Caribbean. The insistence on conformity to church discipline adversely affected the development of formal education which was vitally important to the social elevation of non- white populations. While the Wesleyans were intentional concerning a religious focus in education, they did not forcibly promote denominationalism in schools to the same extent.3 Methodism's direct involvement in primary education in Montserrat preceded the abolition of slavery, since general education classes had been conducted at Bethel in the east and at Cavalla Hill in the north west of the island since the 1820s.

  • INDIAN ARUBA in the HISTORICAL AGE Luc Aio F S
    TH(1636-1795E PEASANT) AMP THE REBEL: INDIAN ARUBA IN THE HISTORICAL AGE Luc Aio f s Abstract The Aruban population is proud of its Amerindian cultural legacy, which acts as a 'reinvented tradition' in Aruba's national identity. In this paper, I analyse the myth and facts of this Indian heritage in the colonial age (1636-1795). On one hand, Aruba was a place of refuge to Indian settlers on the almost but forgotten island. Aruba was a safe haven or a reserve to some of the last surviving Indian populations in the Caribbean archipel­ ago. On the other hand, during the 17"1 and 18™ century, Christianization took place and the formation of a unique Caribbean peasant type -'the cunucero'- occurred. The increasing presence and pressure by the Dutch administration resulted in protest and rebellion from the side of the Aruban Indians. During the 19^ century, the Amerindian population assimilated into the colonial society. Résumé La population d'Aruba estfière de son patrimoine culturel amérindien qui figure comme une 'tradition réinven­ tée' dans l'identité nationale d'Aruba. Ici je sépare le mythe des faits dans cet héritage de l'époque coloniale (1636-1795). D'une part Aruba était un refuge pour les Indiens qui voulaient s'établir dans l'île quasi oubliée à cette époque. Aruba a servi d'abri ou de refuge pour quelques-unes des dernières populations amérindiennes qui ont survécu dans l'archipel caraïbe. D'autre part, pendant le 17e et le 18e siècle la christianisation a pris pied et on a vu apparaître un type unique de paysan caraïbe nommé 'cunucero'.
