Abstract
In this report EU officials met with representatives of the ACP group to discuss a future arrangement between the North and South and human rights issues. The United States remains defiant as the UN voted to end the US embargo against Cuba for the fourth straight year. Professor Philip Brenner comments on whether the UN vote makes a difference to US policy. Meanwhile, Cuban officials met with members of the exile community from Florida in an attempt to forge cooperation. On day six of the commission of inquiry into the Omai cyanide spill serious doubt has been cast on occupational health and safety in Guyana. Caribbean Report took to the streets of Georgetown to find out how much attention is being paid to the inquiry. In Montserrat, the two men charged with attempted murder of Trinidad-born Magistrate Anna Ryan were denied bail. In Dominica, an inquiry has been ordered into a clash between police and locals which left one man dead and several police officers injured. The Jamaican soccer team shows its strength against Zambia national team, the first such visit to Africa by a Caribbean soccer team.
