Der Spiegel - The Third Session: Fruitful Or Fruitless

Nguyen Ha Thu - July 28th 2018

Having already submitted two working papers within the first session, is CARICOM the most productive committee thus far?

As the second session continued, numerous motions were soon to be entertained for debate over the last submitted working paper by the delegate of Belize. Moving on from the taxation system, the delegates turned to look critically at every clause proposed by Belize.

Having the same target, however, each with different ways and methods to realise their mutual goal, the committee presents without coverage the clashing existences two blocs. According to the delegate of Grenada, there were three blocs at the beginning: that of Bahamas, Suriname and Jamaica included Grenada, Saint Vincent & Grenadines, Haiti, Saint Lucia, Saint Kitts & Nevis; that of Trinidad & Tobago included Antigua & Barbuda, Montserrat, and Dominica; that of Belize included Guyana and Barbados. As the debate progressed, it seems, Belize’s bloc decided to merge with Trinidad & Tobago.

After the delegate of Bahamas remarked that the proposal of supporting trade between the U.S. and CARICOM might not be productive, backed up by Jamaica that it had been on a steady decrease, the delegate of Suriname quickly raised the motion to introduce a resolution that his bloc was already working on. While it was, as claimed by the other bloc, comprehensive, and Suriname, as well as the Bahamas, explicitly elucidated any point of information the committee had, an agreement was still nowhere to be found.

Due to Barbados’s concerns about the funding resources for the investments and programmes proposed, including but not limited to government subsidy on some economic sectors (such as agricultural products, Eco-tourism, maritime transportation, and quaternary industries), she wanted to soon introduce yet another draft resolution. Although the Chairs repeatedly stated their perspective that merging both resolutions or making amendments was highly recommended, the bloc of Trinidad & Tobago and Barbados seemed a tad too competitive, thus only looked forward to having their resolution passed instead.

At the time, the delegate of Jamaica added an amendment detailing her bloc’s draft resolution as to what they meant by calling government subsidy on “quaternary industries,” which would be to fund for technological education for children of as early as primary schools. This brought forth another series of conflicts, as the saying often goes, “children are the future of the world.” Suriname claimed that in this modern society, as technology would be the future of everyone, it was crucial that the young generation be prepared as soon as possible. However, the delegates of Montserrat and Trinidad & Tobago suggested that while it might seem beneficial to them, it might also damage their health, being exposed to technology at such a young age.

“CARICOM is a committee more inclined towards issues such as disasters, gender equality and standards in living and working environment, economic development…so while this may be advantageous for us, I’m afraid this is not a top priority.” Commented the delegate of Saint Lucia, seemingly conflicted.

Given the advantage, the delegate of Trinidad & Tobago continued to criticise the idea of tech-education, which was met with Jamaica’s strong response. She utilized the example of the aforementioned suggestion of encouraging trading between CARICOM and the prosperous U.S., critically remarking that the U.S. was prosperous thanks to technology. One notable point was her regarding to social media, as Mark Zuckerberg made a speech about why they should teach tech-education like a native language, from which the delegate of Jamaica drew the conclusion that this solution could actually aid the trade and thus the economic development of CARICOM.

Persistent and unquenched yet, however, Trinidad & Tobago bloc insisted that this first draft resolution was still too general on an overall perspective, and thus introduced the second draft resolution to discuss right after the tea break.

As they also touched on the topic of education in proposed solutions, which specifically regarded funding only prestigious and well-acclaimed schools, they thus received backlash from the other bloc when Belize explained that “those are more worth it.”

“Isn’t this unfair? Inequality? Isn’t this a step back to the past?” Jamaica questioned. Numerous aligning opinions also followed.

Hence, it came as a stunning surprise when Barbados commented in defense with, “Well, life is unfair… After all, prestigious children have a better chance contributing to the development of the community,” soon ending the session when the time for the moderated caucus elapsed.

This left the committee with another seemingly productive debate thanks to a fast pace and constantly raised-and-entertained motions, but unfortunately with fruitlessness as no draft resolution was passed due to the both blocs’ inability to compromise.

The third session: fruitful or fruitless?

The next session commenced off by everyone quickly picking up where they had left off. Friendly amendments, as well as unfriendly amendments, started to bombard any loophole found among the solutions proposed.

Nevertheless, as the debate was not making any progress with how competitive both blocs were, the delegate of Suriname finally decided that they should merge their draft resolution, and this compromise also meant that his bloc would no longer be the main sponsors but signatories.

The delegate of Trinidad & Tobago; nevertheless, initially hesitated. In reply to her reaction, Jamaica made her stance clear that if Suriname’s offer is not accepted, they would amend everything on Trinidad & Tobago and Belize’s resolution. Trinidad & Tobago bloc thus was urged to compromise, for the first time since the two draft resolutions were announced.

Still, conflicts of interests and ideas between the two blocs were obstructing their progress in the upcoming unmoderated caucus. Even after Suriname, then Belize asked to extend the caucus for, in total, fifteen minutes, they still had not finished the merging of their draft resolutions. Since the Chairs could not grant repeated requests to prolong the unmoderated caucus, they made a remark in hopes that the delegates would put aside their differing viewpoints so that they could speed up the process, “While the merging draft resolution indicates a lot of efforts and compromise, it won’t tackle the core issue at this rate.”

Such was the urgency of the matter, Bahamas motioned for a moderated caucus so that the whole committee would be able to discuss directly any clause they wished to amend, merge, or remove, and she urged for the participation of every state member. The council proceeded, and this time with progressing productivity of the professional diplomats and their willingness to compromise and joint efforts.

At long last, after three sessions, they were able to come to a final draft resolution and had it passed. Though there may still be tasks that must be addressed remaining, and the committee might have otherwise passed a draft resolution together sooner had the two blocs been more open to each other’s ideas, this success promises opportunities for the next topic they will be discussing.

KING OF BAD TIMES?

India has received first tranche of its residents' account details in Swiss banks under a latest framework enabling automatic information exchange between the two countries. The development marks an important breakthrough in India's efforts to track down black money stashed abroad. India is amongst 75 countries with which Switzerland's Federal Tax Administration (FTA) has swapped intelligence on the financial details of people.

The said information falls under the Account Information in Tax Matters (AEOI) framework which provides for information exchange on active bank accounts as well those that were closed during 2018, an FTA spokesperson said. The FTA will next exchange information in September 2020. However, the exchange is governed by strict confidentiality clause and the FTA officials refused to disclose specific details on the number of accounts or about the quantum of financial assets associated with the accounts of Indian clients of Swiss banks.

Overall, the FTA has sent information on around 3.1 million financial accounts to the partner states and received information on around 2.4 million from them. The exchanged information includes identification, account and financial information. These include name, address, state of residence and tax identification number, as well as information concerning the financial institution, account balance and capital income. Separately, the Switzerland government said in a statement the number of countries with which the AEOI (Automatic Exchange of Information) took place has risen to 75 this year, out of which it was reciprocal with 63 countries.

In the case of 12 countries, Switzerland received information but did not provide any, either because those countries do not yet meet the international requirements on confidentiality and data security (Belize, Bulgaria, Costa Rica, Curacao, Montserrat, Romania, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Cyprus) or because they chose not to receive data (Bermuda, British Virgin Islands, Cayman Islands, Turks and Caicos Islands). The data was collected by the FTA from around 7,500 institutions including banks, trusts and insurers. "The largest exchange was with Germany (in both directions), as was the case in the previous year. The FTA cannot provide any information on the amount of financial assets," the statement added.

Asked about specific details relating to India, the FTA spokesperson said, "The communication of statistical data is subject to the confidentiality clauses as well." To another query on the next exchange of information with India, the spokesperson said, "According to the international agreement in place, the exchanges have to take place within nine months after the end of the respective calendar year. This means the exchange takes place in September, except for corrections." The Swiss government said Switzerland has committed itself to adopting the global standard for the international automatic exchange of information in tax matters.

The legal basis for the implementation of the AEOI in Switzerland first came into force on January 1, 2017. "The exchanged information allows the cantonal tax authorities to verify whether taxpayers have correctly declared their financial accounts abroad in their tax returns," the FTA said. It said the exchange will take place with around 90 countries next year. The OECD Global Forum reviews the AEOI implementation. According to experts, the data received by India can be quite useful for establishing a strong prosecution case against those who had any unaccounted wealth, as it provides entire details of deposits and transfers as well as of all earnings, including through investments in securities and other assets.

On condition of anonymity, several officials said that the details relate mostly to businessmen, including non-resident Indians now settled in several South-East Asian countries as well as in the US, the UK and even some African and South American countries. Besides, there are at least 100 cases of older accounts held by Indians, which might have been closed before 2018, for which Switzerland is in the process of sharing details with India under an earlier framework of mutual administrative assistance as Indian authorities had provided prima facie evidence of tax-related wrongdoings by those account holders. These relate to people engaged in businesses like auto components, chemicals, textiles, real estate, diamond and jewellery and steel products.

A Swiss delegation was in India in August before the first set of details could get shared under the new automatic information exchange, while the two sides also discussed possible steps to expedite execution of tax information-sharing requests made by India in specific cases. It is feared that many Indians might have closed their accounts after a global crackdown on black money led to Switzerland buckling under pressure to open its banking sector for scrutiny to clear the long-held perception of Swiss banks being a safe haven for undisclosed funds. However, the AEOI only relates to accounts that are officially in the name of Indian residents and they might include those used for business and other genuine purposes.

Switzerland agreed to AEOI with India after the months-long process, including review of the necessary legal framework in India on data protection and confidentiality.

Assignment 1

A decision tree was generated based on data from Gapminder that attempted to predict whether a country would have a life expectancy of greater than 75 years based on a number of statistics included in the data set provided in the course information.

First, the data was culled in two ways.  The “Oil per capita” column was removed, as a significant number of the entries were missing and it wasn’t clear whether they were zeroes or missing data, so it may not have been justified to zero-fill these.  Next, rows with missing data were removed.  This has the unfortunate effect of filtering out smaller and more remote countries for which data acquisition is presumably more difficult, such as the Marshall Islands or Saint Vincent and the Grenadines.  However, because much data is missing for these countries they can not be used for this task with our data set.

Next, the remaining categories were used to generate a decision tree in Python.  The list of categories (Self explanatory, and in list form) are as follows:

['incomeperperson', 'alcconsumption', 'breastcancerper100th', 'co2emissions', 'femaleemployrate', 'hivrate', 'internetuserate', 'polityscore', 'relectricperperson', 'suicideper100th', 'employrate', 'urbanrate']

Repeated runs of the program continually demonstrated that incomepercapita was consistently the primary separator.  Some of the other categories were a bit surprising and perhaps just artifacts of the chosen data set rather than good predictors.  In this particular run, an 80/20 split was done on a pool of 107 countries.  The confusion matrix consisted of 12 correct positives, 5 correct negatives, 1 False Negative and 4 False positives, for a rate of 77% accurate classification.  This isn’t a whole lot better than just guessing (64% of the population are in one category).

Barbados + Jamaica among several Caribbean countries named in human trafficking report.

Americas: Hundreds of human trafficking victims rescued

BRIDGETOWN, Barbados – Nearly 350 potential victims of sexual exploitation and forced labour have been rescued in an INTERPOL-coordinated operation targeting human trafficking in the Caribbean, Central and South America.

More than 500 police officers in 13 countries also arrested 22 individuals during Operation Libertad (3 – 9 April), held under the INTERPOL Project to Combat Human Trafficking in the Caribbean.

The Joint Regional Communications Centre (JRCC) in Barbados hosted the operational coordination centre, with specialist officers from INTERPOL’s Trafficking in Human Beings unit deployed to the region.

Support was provided by the INTERPOL Command and Coordination Centre at the General Secretariat in Lyon, France and at the INTERPOL Regional Bureau in Buenos Aires, Argentina.

In addition to coordinated police raids, searches were carried out against INTERPOL’s criminal databases, generating 30 hits, including 25 for Stolen and Lost Travel Documents. Computer equipment, mobiles phones and cash were also seized.

INTERPOL Executive Director of Police Services Tim Morris said: “Operations like this show the power of INTERPOL providing a platform for the 13 participating countries, but what sits behind these numbers is the human story.”

“Whether it is someone’s mother, father, brother, sister, son or daughter, there is an intensely personal story that is usually – unfortunately – accompanied by a lot of suffering,” he concluded.

Targeting the most vulnerable

Both men and women, including minors, were discovered working in night clubs, farms, mines, factories and open-air markets.

With thousands looking to cross borders in search of work, traffickers are targeting the most desperate and vulnerable members of society with promises of a better life.

Cem Kolcu, Coordinator of INTERPOL’s Trafficking in Human Beings unit, said: “What traffickers don’t advertise are the working conditions their victims will be subject to once their final destination is reached. During this operation, we identified women being forced to work out of spaces no bigger than coffins, for example.”

In Guyana, young women were found working as prostitutes next to extremely remote gold mines, from which they could not escape. This is a common modus operandi as the geographical location of the mines also complicates investigations.

“Isolated locations make it difficult for officers to avoid detection when travelling to these camps. By the time intelligence is acted upon, perpetrators have had the opportunity to act and move the victims,” explained Diana O’Brien, Assistant Director of Public Prosecutions, Ministry of Public Security, Guyana.

A victim-centric approach

To ensure victims received the necessary care following their rescue, social services and NGOs were involved in conducting post-operation interviews and providing support services to victims.

Because they can earn more than they would in their home countries, some victims don’t identify as such, making it difficult to gather evidence and prosecute cases of suspected trafficking. Other victims are manipulated and intimidated into providing false information.

In Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Asian ‘employees’ at a factory had been stripped of their passports and made to be completely dependent. Having never received wages, they relied on their handlers for housing, transport, food and the most basic necessities.

With similar examples across the region, this highlights the need to raise awareness amongst vulnerable communities in both source and destination countries and to ensure appropriate support mechanisms are in place.

INTERPOL Global Task Force on Human Trafficking

The operation was the culmination of the two-and-a-half year project funded by the Government of Canada, which provided specialized training to investigators and immigration officers in order to enhance operational expertise and regional coordination to combat human trafficking.

The programme is one of several projects under the INTERPOL Global Task Force on Human Trafficking, which received the backing of G7 Security Ministers last week.

Participating countries: Antigua and Barbuda, Aruba, Barbados, Belize, Brazil, Curacao, Guyana, Jamaica, Saint Lucia, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Trinidad and Tobago, Turks and Caicos Islands and Venezuela.

OECS tourism project earmarked to upgrade Castries

OECS tourism project earmarked to upgrade Castries

TOURISM MINISTER: WE CAN ACHIEVE MORE SUSTAINABILITY IN TOURISM WHEN WE COMBINE OUR EFFORTS.

Sections of the capital city of Castries should expect a facelift, as one part of a new tourism enhancement project funded by the World Bank.

The official launch of the project took place in Saint Lucia, last week, before a gathering of 70 persons. The project is funded to the tune of US$26 million, with three beneficiary countries. Of this total budget, Saint Lucia is allotted US$15 million, Grenada US$6 million, and St Vincent and the Grenadines US$5 million.

Speaking at the event, Hon. Dominic Fedee, Saint Lucia’s Minister in the Office of the Prime Minister with responsibility for Tourism, Information and Broadcasting, welcomed the regional approach to the project, stating that there was no need to “behave as if we are involved in a race for the lowest. We can surely achieve more sustainability in tourism, when we combine our efforts together as a region.”

While applauding the efforts of the Departments of Tourism and Economic Development, in conceptualizing this project, the Minister emphasized the need to support local entrepreneurs as part of the new tourism project, advocating that the project must as far as possible ensure that the opportunities and benefits from it, touch the whole of Saint Lucia, as part of fulfilling efforts to promote the island’s offerings as one destination.

“This launch will mean nothing if when the project comes to an end, the vendors are still in the same situation, or community opportunities have not been extracted, or local entrepreneurs and producers of local products have not been given a boost,” the minister noted. He called on all relevant stakeholders to ensure that the project is given the impetus it deserves so that it is successfully implemented, with multiplier effects for all service providers. We need to manage tourism “socially, culturally, and economically”, he added and understand that “tourism is a business”, in order for us to optimize the full range of revenue generating opportunities it presents.

Also speaking at the event was Hon. Guy Joseph, Minister for Economic Development, Housing, Urban Renewal, Transport and Civil Aviation and acting Prime Minister. In his address, Minister Joseph stressed that a country approach is the best way to successfully implement the project.

“Our approach to competitiveness in the tourism industry is more than just spending US$15 million. All of us can make it work, and just one of us can cause it to fail,” he submitted. “Money is not the only solution to the problems that we have in this country. I think the attitude and the approach towards what we do as a country, and as a people, is just as important as the funds that we are receiving from the World Bank,” the acting Prime Minister added. Noting the emphasis that the project places on infrastructural development, the minister recognized that achieving competitiveness was more than just physical works, “it is also about improving the immigration process, providing more business for the taxi drivers, reducing the issues at the market, and increasing opportunities for the accommodation sector—these are all important in making this project work.” In addition, he said, “we need to create an authentic Saint Lucia Products Avenue—an avenue that is 100 percent Saint Lucian, selling food, drinks, and products that are made in Saint Lucia, because “only when we offer the right things in Saint Lucia, will the cruise ship passengers come down from the ship.”

Speaking on behalf of the World Bank, Senior Economist and Task Team Leader for the Project, Mr. John Anderson outlined the importance of the project to tourism development in the three islands. He said “the WBG invests heavily in the tourism sector – with a substantial portfolio of lending, technical assistance, and investments totaling nearly US$4 billion globally – of which the OECS Regional Tourism Competitiveness Project is an important part.”

For the Saint Lucia side of the Project, Anderson noted that the World Bank supports the vision that a more resilient economy can be achieved through a more competitive tourism sector. He illustrated by explaining that “the historic downtown Castries [for example], has potential to be a signature destination to attract more of cruise visitors or yachting tourists and integrate them into the local economy and culture – but significant upgrades and improved planning are needed to take advantage of this potential.” He noted that the new project will provide opportunities to strengthen and diversify the tourism offerings and the linkages between them, adding that it is possible for the island to “tap into higher-spending market segments that increase tourism revenue spent domestically; create more space for new private investment in the tourism sector, and increase linkages between tourism segments such as between cruise and yacht passengers, culture and tourism, and agriculture and tourism.”

The OECS Regional Tourism Competitiveness Project is focused on enhancing the competitiveness of tourism in the region, by facilitating movement of tourists between the participating countries using ferries; improving selected tourism sites; and by strengthening capacity for regional tourism market development. This will ultimately contribute to improving the competitiveness and sustainability of the sector.
