	Gonsalves Challenges Caricom on Haiti - Aug 5 2004
		Ralph Gonsalves, Prime Minister of St. Vincent and the Grenadines, says he has no intention of sitting down in the councils of Caricom with any representative of the so-called Government of Haiti.
		Gonsalves declared that he would not attend any meeting with representatives of those who aided and abetted the forcible removal of a lawfully elected President of Haiti by outside forces with the help of thugs.
		Gonsalves says he is dealing with principle, and he will not deal with anyone who aided and abetted those who forced a lawfully elected president to surrender his position.

		This Ralph Gonsalves view of the Caribbean as a distinctly new civilisation, is a large claim.
		Not for Ralph Gonsalves the mere knowledge of the great scholar, detached in an ivory tower pontificating in popish infallibility; not just the criminal lawyer in Magistrate and High Court involved in the interstices of the underclass and the special knowledge that this brings.
		Ralph says that "the Caribbean, metaphorically, has emerged, as roughly containing the songs of the Caribs [and Arawaks], the rhythm of Africa, the chords of Asia, the melody of Europe, and the lyrics of the Caribbean itself." It is a marvellous formulation.

		ROBERT PICKERSGILL, chairman of the People's National Party, has defended Dr. Ralph Gonsalves, Prime Minister of St. Vincent and the Grenadines, saying he was not meddling in Jamaica's affairs when he urged Jamaicans last week to re-elect the P.J. Patterson-led government.

		The point that has to be underscored is that in a book of speeches and articles, a genre in which one of the finest minds of the 20th century, Isaiah Berlin, specialised, Ralph Gonsalves labours under a difficulty.
		To be sure, Dr Ralph Gonsalves cannot claim that this new civilisation exists in the Caribbean.
		Ralph Gonsalves is quite clear though, that there is in the Caribbean masses "their quest for greater democratic control over the state administration and for justice." That striving of the Caribbean masses to put the state under manners as we say in the vernacular, may be universal, but it is particularly pronounced in the Caribbean.

		Gonsalves has been the chief lobbyist for the cash-strapped regional carrier over the last two years and is pushing hard to secure the formation of a single regional airline through the merger of Trinidad and Tobago’s BWIA and LIAT.
		Gonsalves is also advocating that BWIA use LIAT aircraft on its hire operations rather than use aircraft currently assigned to the Tobago-Trinidad airbridge service operated by Tobago Express.
		Gonsalves, in a sort of half-hearted attack on Trinidad and Tobago for its failure to expedite the planned merger of BWIA and LIAT, referred to a meeting in November 2002 and a follow up in June last year when decisions were made to facilitate the BWIA/LIAT merger.

		Citing the founding OAS Charter, Gonsalves called for a multidimensional approach to the issue, adding that "the maintenance and promotion of regional security from the real threat of terrorism cannot be isolated from day-to-day terrors such as child poverty, HIV/AIDS, natural disasters, illiteracy, and the trafficking in illegal drugs.".
		Gonsalves said the terrorist attacks had adversely affected the economy around the world, including the Caribbean.
		In welcoming Prime Minister Gonsalves to the House of the Americas, Secretary General César Gaviria pointed to an increased level of cooperation between the OAS and the Caribbean Community (CARICOM).

		Gonsalves therefore to be seen as dabbling in our local politics was at worse, a very foolish thing to do and at best, totally lacking in any statesmanship.

		Additionally, his St Vincent counterpart, Dr Ralph Gonsalves, yesterday criticised Arthur for making "blatantly false" accusations that that country was not co-operating in the effort to stem the flow of St Vincent-grown marijuana into Barbados.

		Gonsalves, while attending a conference of Heads of Government of the Organisation of Eastern Caribbean States (OECS) in Dominica, said the "insult" to Vincentians related also to an earlier claim by Barbados that with the collapse of the banana-based economy of St Vincent, Vincentians had turned to expanded marijuana cultivation
