BAHAMAS TO HOST CARIBBEAN SEMINAR ON NEW OAS LEGAL AGENDA
September 12, 2002
The Organization of American States is teaming up with the University of the West Indies' Caribbean Law Institute Center on a two-day Caribbean seminar on "The New OAS Legal Agenda and the Caribbean Region." The meeting will be held in Nassau, The Bahamas, September 17 and 18.
Bahamian Attorney-General and Minister of Education Alfred Sears is the keynote speaker for the inauguration of the seminar, being organized in keeping with an OAS General Assembly resolution on "The Inter-American Program for the Development of International Law," adopted this past June in Barbados.
This regional seminar for the Caribbean is another in a series, and is aimed at raising awareness of OAS legal instruments and activities among students, academics and public officials from the Caribbean region. The previous course was held in Rionegro, Colombia, in March 2001, for the Andean region.
Several distinguished Caribbean legal experts will present lectures on key hemispheric issues and their impact on the Caribbean region: the OAS Charter, the Summit of the Americas process, promotion and defense of democracy, special security concerns of small island states, human rights, arbitration, technical cooperation and the fight against corruption, among others.
The seminar presentations and reports will be published on the OAS website, at www.oas.org
