Abstract
The UN Social Summit ends leaving the Caribbean feeling ignored and side-lined. Despite the declaration, non-governmental organizations (NGOs) have complained of a lack of binding commitment to increase aid and address the problem of debt. Yvette Collymore assesses the Summit's level of success. Cuban President Fidel Castro begins a three day visit to France. Carol Orr looks at the significance of this visit. Tolerance was the theme of this year's Commonwealth Day celebrations. Secretary-General of the Commonwealth, Chief Emeka Anyaoku responds to whether the Commonwealth has outlived its usefulness. In Jamaica, Opposition Leader Edward Seaga faces a crucial vote on the future of his leadership. The government in Belize plans to go ahead with an economic citizen investment programme despite criticism from the Opposition and NGOs. Caribbean competitors were among the medals at the World Indoor Athletics Championships in Barcelona.
