 Welcome to NTN Nightly. I am Genelle Norville. This edition stops stories. The US government extends assistance to select the units of the RSLPF. The OECS commemorates its 40th anniversary with a flag-raising ceremony. And the division of human services celebrates St. Lucia's latest centenarian. Commencing the 18th of June 2021, the US government will be extending assistance to select units within the Royal St. Lucia Police Force RSLPF. The force has been excluded from receiving US assistance since the imposition of the Lehi law in 2013 due to the alleged extra-judicial killings of 12 individuals by members of the police force. The Lehi law prohibits US-funded assistance to units of foreign security forces where there is credible information implicating that unit in the commission of gross violation of human rights. US Ambassador to Barbados and the Eastern Caribbean, Linda Tagliallatella, speaking at a press conference on Friday, explained that the US government will now be lending aid to select units within the force. After years of review that included consultations across the United States government agencies as well as coordination with St. Lucia, we have been able to identify a number of Royal St. Lucia Police Force units with which we will be able to resume full cooperation and assistance. This means that those units such as the Marine and Immigration Units will again be able to enjoy the full benefits of United States security assistance that we are planning to begin as we speak. These units will be eligible for security assistance like that provided through the United States Caribbean Basin Security Initiative. This initiative seeks to reduce illicit trafficking in the region, advance public safety and promote social justice. Some St. Lucia security units may also benefit from other security assistance programs such as the professional military educational and technical training courses provided through the United States Department of Defense, state partnership program exchanges with the Florida and the United States Virgin Islands National Guards and regular maritime maintenance support through the United States Southern Commands technical assistance and field teams. This is only the first step. We look forward to continuing to expand our cooperation and engagement. The important part of this process is to ensure full accountability and allegations of extradition killings. Prime Minister the Honourable Alan Shasne welcomed the decision by the U.S. Government highlighted how this extension of aid will assist security forces in St. Lucia. The Prime Minister explained that the Government of St. Lucia continues to work assiduously to ensure the complete removal of the Leahy Law. Access to the Caribbean Basin Security Initiative and other programming of the U.S. Government Security Agencies including Southern Command will allow for amongst other things the effective rollout of the Border Security Agency that is being established. Fundamentally the revision of the blanket policy that denied our law enforcement personal access to U.S. funded training is welcomed and this is a step in the right direction. This administration will continue to provide all the support necessary to the Office of the Director of Public Prosecution which is in charge with investigations into the allegations of wrongdoing. We're also committed to providing all the necessary support to our law enforcement professionals charged with keeping us all safe. Commissioner Police Milton Daisy expressing gratitude to the U.S. Government indicated that this support will aid immensely in the RSLPS fight against crime. We are pleased that your Excellency has announced the lifting of certain conditions of the Leahy Imposition and has agreed that certain departments in the force will be receiving further assistance. Commissioner Police Milton Daisy speaking there. Meantime the organization of Eastern Caribbean States OECS is celebrating for decades of advancing regional integration in the Eastern Caribbean region. As part of activities to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the original signing of the Treaty of Baste the Government of St. Lucia held its OECS flag raise in ceremony. Jesse Leos reports. The Government of St. Lucia reaffirms its support and firm commitment to OECS integration as the organization of Eastern Caribbean States celebrates OECS Day Friday 18th June 2021. This year marks 40 years since the signing of the original Treaty of Baste which established the organization. The treaty was initially signed by seven member states namely Antigua and Barbuda, Dominica, Grenada, Monstrat, St. Kitzeneva, St. Lucia, St. Vincent and the Grenadines. Since then four associate member states have joined the organization namely Anguilla, the British Virgin Islands, Martinique and Guadeloupe. In St. Lucia the regional integration unit in the office of the Prime Minister coordinates and harmonizes the efforts of all sectors in order to facilitate the function of single economic space within the OECS and CARICOM as mandated by their respective treaties. The unit joins in commemoration of the 40 year regional milestone by hosting the flag raising ceremony on OECS Day. Government minister responsible for external affairs Honourable Sarah Floodbobra pledges St. Lucia's continued devotion to the mandate of the Treaty of Bastear. The socio-economic ravages of the COVID-19 pandemic and the ensuing struggle for vaccine procurement and equity bring into sharp focus the dangers of insularity and the power of regionalism. For four decades the OECS has acted on the mandate to foster solidarity and facilitate the highest degree of integration possible among member states. As we celebrate OECS Day today the Government of St. Lucia reaffirms our support and firm commitment to OECS integration. Today we pay homage, we celebrate our boldness and we celebrate our success. We hoist the OECS flag to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the establishment of the OECS. The member states of the OECS are unified through joint policy and action in several key sectors including external transportation and civil aviation management facilitated by the Eastern Caribbean Civil Aviation Authority, external relations and overseas representation achieved through joint representation in Brussels, Morocco, Geneva and Canada, telecommunications regulated by the Eastern Caribbean Telecommunications Authority, currency and central banking through the Eastern Caribbean Currency Union and the Judiciary and Administration of Justice affected through the Eastern Caribbean Supreme Court. Chief Justice Her Ladyship Honourable Dame Justice Janice Pereira was on hand to deliver remarks at the flag-raising ceremony. As the third pillar of government, the judiciary of the Eastern Caribbean Supreme Court plays a critical role in ensuring that the social and economic fabric of those member states and territories spanning the Court's jurisdiction remain protected through the rule of law. The protection of the law and equality before the law are fundamental to a well-ordered and civilized society. I have no doubt that the Eastern Caribbean Supreme Court is wedded to its mandate of ensuring the observance of these precepts and will continue to support the continued growth and development of the region for many decades to come. As Chief Justice, I pray for the OECS's continued success in achieving its mandate. It cannot be over-emphasized that the move towards greater integration of our region continues to present immense opportunities for growth and prosperity for the region. The flag-raising ceremony was held at the Graham-Louisey Administrative Building Parking Lot on the Waterfront castries on 18 June 2021. Other activities in St. Lucia to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the OECS establishment include OECS Colors Day, where the public is encouraged to dress in the OECS colors that is green, dark blue, yellow and white in an effort to engender the regional identity in citizens and to encourage persons to take part in the development of regional integration. For the Government Information Service, I am Jesse Leons reporting. 29 participants from 14 health and social agencies in St. Lucia have benefitted from a PAHO WHO-sponsored virtual workshop on treating tobacco dependence. The workshop is the first component of the project, which will lead to training of additional personnel locally and the service provision to persons seeking help to quit use of tobacco products held over a two-day period. It brought together contributors from the PAHO WHO in the United States, Switzerland and the Caribbean. Regional advisor for tobacco control of PAHO, Dr. Francisco Armada Perez, reiterated the rationale for the workshop. Tobacco cessation is an important component of tobacco control. Article 14 of the Framework Convention of Tobacco Control mandates each party to establish in healthcare facilities and rehabilitation centres programmes for diagnosing, counselling, preventing and treating tobacco dependence among several other measures concerning tobacco dependency and cessation. The benefits of tobacco cessation have been amply supported by evidence. And this includes improved health in those who quit and similar gains for their families. It has been estimated that 60% of the world's 1.3 billion tobacco users have expressed a desire to quit, but only 33% have access to the tools to help them do so. Minister for Health and Wellness, Senator the Honourable Mary Isaac, who addressed the opening ceremony, explained how the workshop could help bridge this gap locally. We will strengthen our capacity to assist those who need help to quit the use of tobacco. We know this process can be very challenging for those who are motivated, but nicotine addiction often thoughts the efforts of those willing to quit. This initiative adds another critical achievement in the broader tobacco control efforts of the Department of Health and other stakeholders. The WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control was unanimously adopted in 2003. St Lucia was one of the first countries in the OACS to implement a tobacco cessation program. 182 countries have signed on to the convention covering more than 90% of the world's population. For the Ministry of Health and Wellness, I'm Jacques Hingson Compton. The Division of Human Services celebrates St Lucia's latest centenarian in the person of Miss Julian Murray Maynard. Hermadi Mark provide some insight into the life of Miss Julian 100 years strong. Birthdays often called for celebration as they signal the growth and advancement of an individual not only in age but in life. On the extraordinary occasion of 100th birthday, the island's latest centenarian, Julian Murray Maynard received a special visit from the Division of Human Services. The aim was to pay homage to Julian as she achieved a feat that many have been unable to. At a small celebration of her birthday, the Division of Human Services presented Julian with tokens of appreciation. Andrea Alsid is a case worker in the elder care unit of the Division of Human Services. On behalf of the government and people of St Lucia, we want to wish you happy 100th birthday. We're very grateful to be celebrating this day with you. And we hope that you are happy to reach that milestone. So again on behalf of the government and people of St Lucia, we want to say happy birthday to you. Julian Murray Maynard still very much a vivacious spirit spent most of her life catering to others as a wife, mother and homemaker. She birthed a daughter and a son and is fortunate to see three generations which currently consists of seven grandchildren, nine great-grandchildren and four great-great-grandchildren. She continues to be the matriarch of the family. To the youth, she encourages them to heed the counsel of their elders. Despite her accomplishment, Julian says she did not expect to become one of the Alan Centenarians. We wish you happy birthday. May you be the best mother and daughter of St Lucia. May you continue to be the mother and daughter of St Lucia. May you be the wonderful homemaker. May your parents be the only ones who can give you a daughter.
