SPEECH DELIVERED BY DR. EDWARD GREEN, ASST. SECRETARY-GENERAL, HUMAN AND SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT, CARIBBEAN COMMUNITY (CARICOM), AT SPECIAL COSHOD SESSION ON THE RIGHTS OF THE CHILD IN THE CARIBBEAN, 22 OCTOBER 2002, GEORGETOWN, GUYANA

It is my pleasure to welcome you to this important meeting which is essentially a follow up to the UN General Assembly Special Session on the Rights of the Child held in New York in May this year. It also provides an opportunity for the Caribbean to continue the process of building on the previous proposals for a Regional Framework to guide further initiatives in this area.

The Secretariat wishes to acknowledge the support from UNICEF for this meeting and in particular for its sponsorship of the Background paper that will be a focus of the discussions.

It is always with great pleasure that I seize opportunities to return home when my schedule allows. All the more so today when that opportunity involves contributing to the development of a people-based institution such as the credit union movement.

ADDRESS BY THE RT. HON OWEN ARTHUR, PRIME MINISTER OF BARBADOS, AT THE OPENING OF THE CSME UNIT OFFICE, CENTRAL BANK OF BARBADOS, BRIDGETOWN, BARBADOS

The event which we celebrate this evening will hopefully come to be regarded not so much as a small step in the creation of a Unit, but a giant step in our support of a cause. For it ushers in the formal commencement of the new economic arrangement for our region which hopefully will create for us a future which will be unrecognisable and more prosperous than the past out of which we have emerged.

MESSAGE FROM THE SECRETARY- GENERAL OF THE CARIBBEAN COMMUNITY (CARICOM) ON THE DEATH OF THE MINISTER OF TOURISM OF BERMUDA

It is with deep sorrow that I have learned of the passing of the Hon. David Allen, Minister of Tourism. The Government and People of Bermuda have lost a dynamic and committed representative.

The Region's Tourism Sector will sorely miss the energy and leadership which he so passionately displayed during his tenure as a member of the Board of Directors of the Caribbean Tourism Organisation (CTO).

On behalf of the Community, its Secretariat and on my own behalf, I extend sincerest condolences to the Government and people of St. Vincent and the Grenadines and to the family of the deceased.
