The critics of the Caribbeans grow in number and stature

Author - CEO


Former Commonwealth Secretary General Sir Shridath Ramphal called the decision by the OECS to lend its support to Japan a travesty.

Antigua and Barbuda, Dominica, St. Kitts and Nevis, St. Lucia, St. Vincent and the Grenadines and Grenada, all members of the Organisation of Eastern Caribbean States (OECS), also belong to the IWC.

IPS News reports that Sir Shridath said, '"It's a great sadness to me that some of our smaller countries…a significant number to make a difference in the world's Whaling Commission, are in fact joining with them (Japan) in perpetuating the slaughter, and in the end the extinction of these mammals," he said.

Good for you Sir Shridath!
