| The Caribbean Coast Guard is always working on the website
to provide you more and better content concerning Caribbean area maritime
matters directly pertaining to the formation of the Caribbean Coast Guard.
A recent added page is the Excel spreadsheet "statuscarib.xls" which is located at this link. This download was made by modifying an International Maritime Organisation spreadsheet on the status of ratification of of the Conventions as of 10/31/2000. Instead of all nations, we focus on the Caribbean Sea and wider caribbean area nations, sorted by a catagory based on treaty organisation type. In other words, the Eastern Caribbean OECS states are together, then tack on the additional CARICOM members, add the Territories and then wider nations such as Venezuela. You might want to download this one, it is interesting which caribbean nations have signed which IMO Coventions and have not yet signed other conventions and maybe we all can realise that ratification is not universal and there exist gaps or safe havens in the Caribbean. Additional web pages will be loaded and linked, please bookmark our website in your favorites list so you can easily visit us later and find the newest content on the latest topics. |
In order to systematically collect, review, quote, list and
otherwise go over current international/regional and bilateral texts we
have initiated a Document Search. Of course we know to go to the usual
websites for such things, but maybe there are documents especially in
electronic form you could help us find. We need to collect agreements, treaties, conventions, protocols, agreements, drafts, and other deals between nations so we may provide them to you and others. After gathering them our experts will review these documents for any gaps, deficiencies, common language, norms, and other legal process to systematically get actual quotes of international requirements. Our feeling at the CCG is many of these deals do not have sufficient executive enforcement nor do the nations themselves always apply the rules evenly. One of the purposes of a regional maritime Caribbean Coast Guard is to provide the operational capacity to actually back up and investigate and provide the region the men and equipment to provide in the sea consequences for vessels that violate national and international law. |
