No support for deep-sea mining without regulatory framework Loop Jamaica

Black Immigrant Daily News

The content originally appeared on: Jamaica News Loop News

Jamaica will not support deep-sea mining in the International Seabed Area without a suitable regulatory framework being in place, says Minister of Foreign Affairs and Foreign Trade, Senator, Kamina Johnson Smith.

“While Jamaica continues to attach significant importance to the full and effective implementation of [the] United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (“the Montego Bay Convention”), I wish to state unequivocally, that the Government of Jamaica is not prepared to support deep-seabed mining before an appropriate, robust regulatory framework is put in place, in keeping with the guiding thrust of our deliberations,” she said.

Senator Johnson Smith was addressing the International Seabed Authority (ISA) Special Commemorative Session for the 40th anniversary of the adoption of the Montego Bay Convention, held at The Knutsford Court Hotel in St Andrew, on Monday, August 1.

She stressed that the country remains committed to developing a sound, stringent, balanced, and comprehensive regulatory framework in relation to the future development of deep-sea mining in the International Seabed Area.

“We are guided by the tenets of the precautionary approach, best available science, and transparency and equity, in accessing the Area and its resources, to safeguard the ‘common heritage of humankind’,” she said.

Senator Johnson Smith pointed out that the adoption of the Montego Bay Convention is significant, as it serves as a best practice for the governance of global commons, noting that it is one of the first, and few instances, in which the interests of humanity have been elevated above State sovereignty and national interests and codified in international law.

“Jamaica is, therefore, extremely proud of its contribution to the elaboration and eventual adoption of the Montego Bay Convention. We are also proud of our historical leadership, along with others, in strengthening the rule of the law of the sea,” she said.

Senator Johnson Smith further noted that an intrinsic contribution to the relevance of the Convention is the Tribunal for the Law of the Sea, which, through its legal framework, has clarified member States’ collective responsibilities as to the stewardship of the International Seabed Area.

“This legal framework has also facilitated the successful negotiation of countless maritime disputes. The Convention also continues to guide our collective efforts to regulate the conservation and sustainable use of marine biological diversity in areas beyond national jurisdiction,” she said.

Additionally, she noted that the Convention is one of the few international legal instruments that have codified and institutionalised safeguarding the special interests and needs of developing countries, including Small Island Developing States (SIDS), in the regulation of global commons.

In the meantime, Mrs. Johnson Smith praised the important work of the Authority and the Secretariat over the years, in boosting public awareness, filling the gaps in existing scientific knowledge and supporting developing States through capacity development and technology transfer.

“This will further enable our full and effective participation in marine scientific research and our informed deep-sea decision-making,” she said.

Headquartered at the Jamaica Conference Centre, ISA is an autonomous international organisation established under the 1982 UN Convention on the Law of the Sea and the 1994 Agreement relating to the Implementation of Part XI of the Convention.

The Authority is the body through which State parties to the Convention organise and control all mineral-resources-related activities in the Area for the benefit of mankind. In so doing, ISA has the mandate to ensure the effective protection of the marine environment from harmful effects that may arise from deep-seabed-related activities.

INDECOM interviews female cop as part of Donna-Lee probe Loop Jamaica

Black Immigrant Daily News

The content originally appeared on: Jamaica News Loop News

The Woman District Constable linked to the investigation into the disappearance of social media influencer Donna-Lee Donaldson was interviewed by the Independent Commission of Investigations (INDECOM) yesterday.

Constable Noel Maitland — the boyfriend of Donaldson and father of the district constable’s child — was charged with murder on Tuesday, August 2.

Donaldson’s body, however, has not been recovered.

In a press statement, INDECOM said that it is conducting a supervised investigation and is continuing to give support and assistance to the Jamaica Constabulary Force (JCF).

The police oversight body said pursuant to Section 21 of the Independent Commission of Investigations Act, a Witness Interview Notice was served on Woman District Constable to attend the office of the commission to be interviewed in relation to the ongoing investigation.

On August 3, 2022, INDECOM conducted the interview with Woman District Constable, who was accompanied by her attorney.

The JCF will be provided with a copy of the transcript as well as a copy of the recorded interview.

Likewise, a Section 21 Notice for a Witness Interview was also issued to Maitland. Subsequent to the issuance of the notice, Maitland was charged with murder in relation to Donaldson’s disappearance, and therefore could not be interviewed by INDECOM.

The Police High Command said previously that there is no evidence linking the woman constable to Donaldson’s disappearance.

Donaldson was reported missing on July 13 after going to Maitland’s home to spend her birthday.

Family and fans of Donaldson, who was the host of 876 Roommates, staged several protests days after her disappearance claiming a lack of urgency on the part of the police.

Three charged in Customs fraud appear in court on Wednesday after weekend bail and will return on October 5 for committal

Black Immigrant Daily News

The content originally appeared on: Antigua News Room

The trio charged in relation to fraud at the Customs Department made their first appearance in the St. John’s Magistrates’ Court on August 3, and a date was set for their committal proceedings.

Customs Officer Joezine Christian and brokers Rowan Matthew and Foston George will return to court on October 5, at which time a magistrate will determine whether there is sufficient evidence to send their matter to the High Court for a trial before a judge and jury or a judge alone.

Matthew, of Judges Hill Estate; George of Pares Village; and Christian of Buckleys are jointly charged with conspiracy to defraud, an offence which allegedly occurred on November 6, 2017, at the Deep Water Harbour.

Meanwhile, Matthew and George are charged jointly for obtaining money by false pretense, on the same date and at the same place.

Christian faces two additional charges of corruption in public office and cheating the public revenue, alleged to have occurred in November 2017.

The charges allegedly relate to over $25,000 in Customs revenues.

The three were arrested and charged last Friday, July 29. However, they were spared spending the long holiday in the lock-up, as their attorney moved swiftly to get them bail.

An earlier report said the Magistrates Court would have been convened on Saturday, July 30, to accommodate a bail application.

However, sources say that did not materialize, and bail was subsequently granted by High Court Justice Colin Williams after an application was made on the weekend

Residents greeted the news of their arrest with cynicism and asked about the millions that Prime Minister Gaston Browne said had been misappropriated in a conspiracy between Customs staff and brokers.

In fact, Browne, who is also the Minister of Finance, claimed his signature had been forged to accommodate some of the alleged acts of fraud.

This investigation into the Customs Department reportedly has been going on for over three years.

Speculations about a cover-up have been rife since Customs Officer Cornell Benjamin was shot and injured at his home, and they heightened into fear when another officer, Nigel Christian, was abducted and murdered the following year.--REAL NEWS

“Yo sí puedo decir y como dije anteriormente, que soy inocente, que yo no he cometido ningún delito y ninguna irregularidad“ dijo Wanda Vázquez a su salida del Tribunal Federal

Black Immigrant Daily News

The content originally appeared on: Radio Isla TV

La exgobernadora, Wanda Vázquez, emitió declaraciones luego de salir del Tribunal Federal, tras ser arrestada en la madrugada de hoy por cargos de corrupción.

“Le reitero a mi Pueblo y a todos ustedes que soy inocente. Han cometido una gran injusticia y mis abogados trabajarán con eso. Como ustedes entenderán, no puedo hablar sobre los hechos. Tampoco tuve la oportunidad de ver la conferencia de prensa que han hecho, pero yo sí puedo decir y como dije anteriormente, que soy inocente, que yo no he cometido ningún delito y ninguna irregularidad. A mi Pueblo siempre le hablé de frente y yo les agradezco a ustedes que estén aquí y que me den la oportunidad. Ahora me toca a mi defenderme de todo esto que han hecho, pero yo les aseguro que han cometido una gran injusticia conmigo en esta radicación de cargos”, dijo Vázquez en expresiones a la prensa.

Según la acusación formal, desde diciembre de 2019 hasta junio de 2020, la entonces gobernadora de Puerto Rico, Vázquez Garced, de 62 años, de San Juan, participó en un plan de soborno con varias personas, entre ellas Julio Martín Herrera Velutini, Frances Díaz, Mark Rossini y John Blakeman para financiar la campaña electoral para gobernadora de 2020 de Vázquez Garced.
