| dc.description.abstract | The United States is warning that it will not take part in the legal proceedings of a challenge into the Helms-Burton law now before the World Trade Organisation. The challenge brought by the European Union maintains that the law breaks trade rules; whereas the United States is claiming that it is foreign policy and not a trade issue. Next, mystery surrounds the disappearance of a group of Dominican men, police officials in Rousseau say they have been missing for two weeks. The Dominican police say that the men have not left Dominica through the usual channels. In the following, there are questions in Haiti over the death of a Chilean Diplomat, Eduardo de Vega. His charred body was found in a burnt out truck in the suburb of the capital Port-au-Prince. Next, governors from the British dependent territories in the Caribbean are involved in a two day meeting in Bermuda’s Government House. They are engaged in talks with officials of the United Kingdom regarding common concerns. Next, in St. Lucia a legal battle appears imminent between the multinational corporation telephone company, Cable and Wireless and a new company, World Wide Independent Network Incorporated which is offering call back services. Next, added to Prime Minister, Basdeo Panday’s comments that certain calypsonians are seeking to divide the Trinidadian society, the Attorney General says that calypsonians could face laws which could stop them from spreading racism. Lastly, the Foreign Minister of Yemen, Abdul Karim al Eryani, is talking about his country joining the Commonwealth. He has emphasised how important membership into such an international group is after the Cold War has been replaced by peaceful competition between nations.
