PERMANENT REPRESENTATIVE OF GRENADA, AMBASSADOR ANGUS FRIDAY, ON BEHALF OF THE CARIBBEAN COMMUNITY (CARICOM) MEMBER COUNTRIES REMARKS BY THE PERMANENT REPRESENTATIVE OF GRENADA, AMBASSADOR ANGUS FRIDAY, DURING THE PROTOCOLARY MEETING TO
COMMEMORATE THE BIRTH OF SIMÓN BOLÍVAR, THE LIBERATOR
July 26, 2017 - Washington, DC
Mr. President of the Permanent Council
Mr. Secretary General, Mr. Assistant Secretary General
Distinguished colleagues, ladies and gentlemen,
I have the honour to say a few words on behalf of the CARICOM Group of Countries on this occasion as we commemorate the birth and celebrate the life of the liberator Simon Bolivar. Whilst much of his work was achieved in the Spanish Americas, we in the French and English Speaking Americas also claim this hero of the hemisphere. His travels to Haiti and the support of Haitian troops to Bolivar’s efforts are well documented. This came at a pivotal time in Bolivar’s campaign and, as history would assert, led to the ultimate success of the liberation of the Americas. The liberation of the Americas is therefore inextricably linked with the liberation of the African people of this continent. Like all human desires, the desire for equality, freedom, liberty, independence, and self-determination transcends the human construct of race; It is a message that rings true today as it did then.
The Liberator also took stock of this situation in Jamaica. And in a time today when we should be building pan-american bridges we can reflect on the poignacy of “The Jamaica Letter” which amongst other things contemplated liberation amid the troubles of the world at the time. The Letter calling for the unification of the Americas and the need for greater integration will remain an everlasting echo throughout time, to which we must pay greater heed, today.
We in these halls would do well to reflect upon these things as we contemplate the business of this institution and the future of the Civilization of the Americas in the 21st Century.
