dc.description.abstractIn this report British Opposition MP Gerald Kaufman calls for economic sanctions against the Caribbean after a visit to Jamaica's prison system. Kaufman wants to force Jamaica to abolish the death penalty and improve its prison conditions. However, the British government has rejected the idea of using economic sanctions or threats against the Caribbean. Foreign Affairs Minister Jeremy Hanley comments that the British government would try to help improve prison conditions in other ways. The British Parliament held a debate on the importance of Latin America to Britain in trading terms. In the US, the Helms-Burton bill now stands toothless as key sections of the bill, aimed at tightening US embargo against Cuba, were removed. In St. Martin, the government coalition has collapsed after hurricane Luis threw the political arena into turmoil. In Britain, the Trade Union Congress General Secretary John Monks states that discrimination against black workers in Britain is a scandal.en_US
