Extractions: He said since the adoption of the Declaration on the Granting of Independence to Colonial Countries and Peoples in 1960, more than 80 million people had attained independence, but there were still 17 Non-Self-Governing Territories remaining. The Special Committee of 24 organized seminars like the current one to give the more than two million people who lived in those Territories the chance to make their views known on the unique problems they faced. The information gathered in those seminars, he continued, had helped to raise awareness in the international community about those problems. As a result, the General Assembly had proclaimed the Second International Decade for the Eradication of Colonialism. The regional seminar would provide a unique opportunity to recommit to the goal of assuring that all peoples could exercise their right of self-determination. Ricardo Alarcon de Quesada, President of the National Assembly of Cuba, said the First Decade on the Eradication of Colonialism had just been completed, but unfortunately, that decade would not remain in history as the decade in which that phenomenon had been eradicated. In the future, it might be called the Decade in which poverty had spread and deepened. The ratio of people living under the poverty line was the same as at the beginning of he 20

Extractions: Caribbean Islands Caribbean Islands Britain's experiments in federation in its West Indian colonies had long been frustrated by regional insularity and parochialism. Regional cooperation increased during World War II, however, owing to the threat of a common outside enemy. The Anglo-American Caribbean Commission, established in 1942, played an important role in further regional integration efforts. The Second West India Conference in 1946 also was considered a landmark in international and regional cooperation because it provided the dependent territories their first opportunity to participate in a multilateral meeting aimed at forging joint policies with Britain and the United States. Because of decolonization plans, Britain placed renewed emphasis on political and economic federation in the postwar era (see Political Independence, ch.1). Its resources drained by the war, Britain began promoting self-government within the Commonwealth in general, a long process that involved gradually granting the West Indian islands autonomy and then independence. The formulas of federation and associated statehood (see Glossary) were ways of solving the British problem of establishing a system that maintained regional order after independence. Nevertheless, the small size of the British West Indian islands and their populations, their lack of resources, and their dependence on outside markets made the decolonization process especially difficult.

The Fountian Cavern National Park: anguilla Workshop on the Development of a Statement of Significance for the regional and International Participants,Experts and invited guests GOOD http://www.gov.ai/publicrelations/Fountain Cavern.htm
Extractions: In recent years archaeological expeditions led by David Watters of the Carnegie Museum of Natural History, James Petersen and John Crock of the University of Vernmont have revealed the Fountain Cavern to be not just a geological wonder, but also a shrine rich in religious history. It was a ceremonial site for the Amerindian population of Anguilla and possibly those on nearby islands. Archaeological researchers clearly believe that the Fountain has potential to become a tremendously important facility for interpreting the culture of the Amerindian peoples of the Caribbean. The major focus within the Cavern will definitely be the majestic petroglyphs found inside. A site with so many well-preserved cave petroglyphs has not been identified anywhere else in the Lesser Antilles. Within the Fountain Cavern there are significant petroglyhs of the Arawak god "Jocahu". The top section of a giant sixteen foot high stalagmite situated adjacent to one of the pools of spring water has been carved into an enormous head thought to represent the Taino Creator - God "Jocahu". “Jocahu”was revered by the Amerindians, as the "Giver of Cassava", one of their staple crops.
