dc.description.tableofcontents2. The British government has reaffirmed that the downgrading of its garrison in Belize would not lessen its support for the country. In an interview, David Price, lecturer in politics in Belize said that Prime Minister, George Brizan will exploit the re-assurances to counter opposition charges that Belize is not sufficiently secured (00:36-03:30)en_US
dc.description.tableofcontents3. Tom Gibbs, BBC correspondent said that Guatemala has bigger concerns of the economy than its claim to Belize. He noted that President Serrano’s recognition of Belize was not done with the consensus of the society and that Belmopan should keep vigilant for conflict (03:31-07:20)en_US
dc.description.tableofcontents4. The European Court of Justice has set the date for the hearing of a request by Germany to block the introduction of the EC’s new banana regime.

dc.description.tableofcontents5. While the international community considers extending the embargo against Haiti, the Dominican Republic has spoken out against such a blockade. Jean Michel Caroit, BBC correspondent reports that President Balaguer reiterated his country’s opposition to the embargo as it has done nothing for Haiti with the rich getting richer through contraband.

dc.description.tableofcontents6. A number of human rights groups have described the OAS as being too weak to defend democracy and human rights, particularly in Haiti, Guatemala and Peru.

dc.description.tableofcontents7. A report on crime published by the British government has rekindled the debate over the betrayal of ethnic minorities. It says that offences have doubled over the last five years although it still accounts for less than one percent of overall crimes. The report links the increase in gun related crimes to the Jamaican yardie groups. Detective Superintendent John Jones spoke on crime and its relation to the drug trade in these communities. A British Express reporter noted that the word “yardie” has been misused and reflected a Jamaican influence but the inherent problems are environment specific (10:43-14:00)en_US
dc.description.tableofcontents8. A bid has been made into Britain’s House of Lords to have the Rastafarian community declare them as a separate ethnic group. The landmark legal bid is being made by South London bus driver, Trevor Dawkins (14:01-14:53)en_US
