Dominica: UN expert recommends human rights approach for advancing climate resilience

DOMINICA (ROSEAU) – Dominica’s efforts towards climate resilience have been remarkable, a UN expert said today, urging the Government and the international community to rely on the human rights approach to consolidate achievements, recognize local innovations and civil society’s contributions, and understand who was left behind from climate response and disaster recovery. “Dominica has been able to secure a fast recovery after tropical storm Erika in 2015 and Hurricane Maria in 2017. These were catastrophic climate events,” Elisa Morgera, UN Special Rapporteur on climate change and human rights, said in a statement at end of her visit to Dominica, referring to loss of life, persistent mental health issues, destruction up to 90% of the housing stock and the loss of over 200% GDP. “In...

‘Stop the 21st century atrocity’ in Gaza, Fletcher urges UN Security Council

INTERNATIONAL, 13 May 2025 Humanitarian Aid - No aid has entered Gaza for more than 10 weeks and every single one of the 2.1 million people there faces famine conditions, the UN Emergency Relief Coordinator Tom Fletcher said on Tuesday in a briefing to the Security Council in New York. Mr. Fletcher began his remarks by asking the international community to reflect on what it will tell future generations about action taken “to stop the 21st century atrocity to which we bear daily witness in Gaza.” He wondered, for example, if “we will use those empty words, ‘we did all we could,’” and urged the Council to act decisively to prevent genocide from happening. Shrinking spaces, overwhelmed hospitals In addition to the aid blockade, civilians in Gaza have again...

Teri Helenese Urges Unified Caribbean Strategy to Boost Tourism Amid Global Economic Uncertainty

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Teri Helenese, the U.S. Virgin Islands’ Director of State-Federal Relations and Washington Representative, is calling on Caribbean nations to unite with urgency and purpose to grow the region’s global tourism market share, which has long remained under three percent despite a strong post-pandemic recovery. Speaking against the backdrop of mounting global economic uncertainty, Helenese warned that continued growth cannot be taken for granted. “The U.S. Virgin Islands has outpaced pre-pandemic levels, and the wider Caribbean is seeing strong momentum, but we can’t afford to be complacent,” she said. “Now is the time to double down on strategic partnerships and regional cooperation.” Helenese commended the USVI Department of Tourism for its engagement with organizations like the Caribbean Hotel and Tourism...
