  • Geology the Island of Nevis Consists of a Single Volcanic Complex Made up of a Series of Volcanic Domes Or Centres
    Nevis Geology The island of Nevis consists of a single volcanic complex made up of a series of volcanic domes or centres. Although Nevis is made up primarily of volcanic material, the oldest outcropping rock on the island is a conglomerate containing blocks of crystallised limestone that contain fossils of mid-Eocene age (Hutton 1965). Seven volcanic centres have been identified on Nevis: Hurricane Hill, Round Hill, Cades Bay, Saddle Hill, Red Cliff, Butler’s Mountain and Nevis Peak (Hutton 1965; Hutton and Nockolds 1978). These centres have been interpreted as remnants of lava domes that were generated by effusive eruptions. Ages for Hurricane Hill, Round Hill and Cades Bay range from 3.43 to 2.7 Ma, and these are considered the oldest centres. Extrusive activity at the Round Hill and Cades Bay centres seems to have been controlled by a NW-SE trending feeder system, and that of Hurricane Hill by a NE-SW trending system (Geothermica Italiana 1991). Saddle Hill and Butler’s Mountain have yielded radiometric ages of 1.80 and 1.10 Ma respectively, and are therefore somewhat younger. The small eruptive centre of Red Cliff is interpreted as a remnant of a volcanic cone whose source was probably situated slightly east of the present shoreline and is now removed by wave action (Geothermica Italiana 1991). No radiometric age is available for Red Hill, but the relative freshness of the lava led Hutton and Nockolds (1978) to suggest an age comparable to that of Nevis Peak (1 Ma). These older volcanic centres discussed above are unlikely to be the sites of future volcanic activity.

  • UK Overseas Territories
    INFORMATION PAPER United Kingdom Overseas Territories - Toponymic Information United Kingdom Overseas Territories (UKOTs), also known as British Overseas Territories (BOTs), have constitutional and historical links with the United Kingdom, but do not form part of the United Kingdom itself. The Queen is the Head of State of all the UKOTs, and she is represented by a Governor or Commissioner (apart from the UK Sovereign Base Areas that are administered by MOD). Each Territory has its own Constitution, its own Government and its own local laws. The 14 territories are: Anguilla; Bermuda; British Antarctic Territory (BAT); British Indian Ocean Territory (BIOT); British Virgin Islands; Cayman Islands; Falkland Islands; Gibraltar; Montserrat; Pitcairn, Henderson, Ducie and Oeno Islands; Saint Helena, Ascension and Tristan da Cunha; South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands; Turks and Caicos Islands; UK Sovereign Base Areas. PCGN recommend the term ‘British Overseas Territory Capital’ for the administrative centres of UKOTs. Production of mapping over the UKOTs does not take place systematically in the UK. Maps produced by the relevant territory, preferably by official bodies such as the local government or tourism authority, should be used for current geographical names. National government websites could also be used as an additional reference. Additionally, FCDO and MOD briefing maps may be used as a source for names in UKOTs. See the FCDO White Paper for more information about the UKOTs. ANGUILLA The territory, situated in the Caribbean, consists of the main island of Anguilla plus some smaller, mostly uninhabited islands. It is separated from the island of Saint Martin (split between Saint-Martin (France) and Sint Maarten (Netherlands)), 17km to the south, by the Anguilla Channel.

  • Saint Kitts and Nevis 2020 Human Right Report
    SAINT KITTS AND NEVIS 2020 HUMAN RIGHTS REPORT EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Saint Kitts and Nevis is a multiparty parliamentary democracy and federation. The prime minister is the head of government. The United Kingdom’s Queen Elizabeth II is the head of state, represented by a governor general. The constitution provides the smaller island of Nevis considerable powers of self-governance under a premier. In national elections on June 5, Team Unity, a coalition of three political parties, won nine of the 11 elected seats in the legislature. Team Unity leader Timothy Harris was reselected prime minister for a second term. A Caribbean Community observation mission assessed that “the voters were able to cast their ballots without intimidation or fear and that the results of the 5 June 2020 General Elections reflect the will of the people of the Federation of St. Kitts and Nevis.” The security forces consist of a police force, which includes the paramilitary Special Services Unit, a drug unit, the Special Victims Unit, the Office of Professional Standards, and a white-collar crimes unit. These forces are responsible for internal security, including migration and border enforcement. In addition there is a coast guard and a small defense force. The military and police report to the Ministry of National Security, which is under the prime minister’s jurisdiction. Civilian authorities maintained effective control over the security forces. There were no reports that members of the security forces committed abuses. Significant human rights issues included criminalization of same-sex sexual conduct between men, although the law was not enforced during the year.

  • Nevis Geological Profile
    NEVIS GEOLOGICAL PROFILE SUMMARY The island of Nevis consists of a single volcanic complex made up of a series of volcanic domes or centres. There have been no recent signs of increased activity on Nevis; however, frequent shallow earthquake swarms and hydrothermal activity associated with the Nevis Peak volcanic centre indicate that this centre is potentially active, and an increase in activity could occur at any time. Caption: View looking southeast at the main edifice of Nevis Peak and the older dome of Butlers Mountain (to the left). Note the communities living on the northern flank of Nevis Peak, this area is a pyroclastic fan developed in a prehistoric eruption of Nevis Peak. View is taken from near the gps benchmark on Round Hill. GEOLOGY The island of Nevis is situated in the northern region of the Lesser Antilles. Nevis is 93 km2 in size and has a population of ~ 9,000 people. The highest point on Nevis is Nevis Peak, rising to 984 m (3232 ft) and this mountain represents a typical andesitic lava dome characteristic of the Lesser Antilles. Although the island of Nevis is made up primarily of volcanic material, the oldest rock outcropping on the island is a small conglomerate unit containing blocks of crystalline limestone that contain fossils of mid-Eocene age. Caption: Generalised geological map (modified from Hutton & Nockolds, 1978) Seven volcanic centres have been identified on Nevis: Hurricane Hill, Round Hill, Cades Bay, Saddle Hill, Red Cliff, Butlers Mountain and Nevis Peak. These centres have been interpreted as remnants of lava domes that were generated by effusive volcanic activity.

  • Saint Kitts and Nevis
    Human Development Report 2020 The Next Frontier: Human Development and the Anthropocene Briefing note for countries on the 2020 Human Development Report Saint Kitts and Nevis Introduction This year marks the 30th Anniversary of the first Human Development Report and of the introduction of the Human Development Index (HDI). The HDI was published to steer discussions about development progress away from GPD towards a measure that genuinely “counts” for people’s lives. Introduced by the Human Development Report Office (HDRO) thirty years ago to provide a simple measure of human progress – built around people’s freedoms to live the lives they want to - the HDI has gained popularity with its simple yet comprehensive formula that assesses a population’s average longevity, education, and income. Over the years, however, there has been a growing interest in providing a more comprehensive set of measurements that capture other critical dimensions of human development. To respond to this call, new measures of aspects of human development were introduced to complement the HDI and capture some of the “missing dimensions” of development such as poverty, inequality and gender gaps. Since 2010, HDRO has published the Inequality-adjusted HDI, which adjusts a nation’s HDI value for inequality within each of its components (life expectancy, education and income) and the Multidimensional Poverty Index that measures people’s deprivations directly. Similarly, HDRO’s efforts to measure gender inequalities began in the 1995 Human Development Report on gender, and recent reports have included two indices on gender, one accounting for differences between men and women in the HDI dimensions, the other a composite of inequalities in empowerment and well-being.
