		The Organization of the American States (OAS) and the Association of Caribbean States (ACS) are the two pre-eminent institutions that serve the function of bringing the Caribbean and the Americas together.
		The Association of Caribbean States attempts to preserve our Caribbean Sea as the valuable patrimony that it has turned out to be in an era of global tourism, international shipping lanes, Law of the Sea rights, and other benefits that are yet to be determined by future history.
		Though a state is powerless, it may nevertheless be able to exercise leverage in situations where the support of that state is required in order to achieve a specific purpose.
