CICAD Executive Secretary David Beall signed the documents with Ambassador Boudewijn van Eenennaam, Permanent Observer of the Netherlands to the OAS, during a brief ceremony at OAS Headquarters. The agreement sets out the terms for the Netherlands Antilles to participate in CICAD as part of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, which holds Permanent Observer status with the OAS.
Today’s agreement is the third of four such signatures contemplated. The previous two were signed with France (with respect to the French Caribbean territories) and the Kingdom of the Netherlands (with respect to Aruba). The fourth is expected to be signed with Britain, covering the British dependent territories in the Caribbean.
Being more involved in the activities of CICAD will allow the Netherlands Antilles to contribute to the strengthening of the drug control and related programs, policies, practices and institutions in the Dutch-speaking Caribbean territories “through increased contacts with other CICAD participants,” the memorandum states.
In signing the documents, the CICAD official cited the importance of involving all the overseas departments and territories in the Caribbean, “whether or not they have the status of membership in the OAS,” given their significance in terms of money flows and their vulnerability to the social effects of drug abuse. “In any serious analysis of the problem throughout the region—and especially in the cross region between the North and the South, and going towards Europe—this presents a key element,” Beall said of the initiative, which is hailed as the brainchild of Lance Selman, the CICAD chairman from 2000 to 2001.
Calling the agreement “enormously important,” Ambassador van Eenennaam cited the fight against illegal drugs as one of his country’s top priorities. “We are proud and happy that we have made this step,” he said, adding that “the expertise of CICAD is something we really value.”
