| dc.description.abstract | Despite the differences over the Helms-Burton law, the United States and Canada today sounded a note of conciliation on the measure. Cuba’s Foreign Minister has told a business meeting in New Delhi that the world’s non-aligned nations have unanimously condemned the long standing US embargo against the communist island. Next, in St Lucia anti-corruption laws prescribing stiff penalties for public officials found to be in breach of them have been enacted making St Lucia the fifth Caribbean country to enact such legislation. Next, the US based Washington office on Haiti has said the government in Port-au-Prince should not annul the results of Sunday’s local election as requested by the opposition. Also, the Non-profit Research Human Rights Organisation says that while the low voter turnout maybe a lost opportunity to boost democracy in Haiti there will be other opportunities. Next, tension rose high in the Caribbean area of New York City after a white police officer shot to death a Trinidad born youth. Next, a black Labour Party member of parliament has raised concerns that the part of inner London could become like US inner city ghetto. Finally, the President of the regional football body CONCACAF said that the two Trinidadian footballers detained in Lebanon could be release within hours. | en_US |
