Events at the Organisation of American States (OAS) continue to reveal that, notwithstanding the efforts by some of its 33 member states, the Organisation is the handmaiden of powerful governments which control it through various methods, including coercion.
Nothing symbolises this more glaringly than a presumptuous assault on the Government of Trinidad and Tobago by the agent of one small political party, purported to be the Government of Venezuela. The sordid event occurred in the OAS Permanent Council on December 16.

The reliance on âerroneous reportsâ by the Inter American Human Rights Commission (IAHRC) and functionaries of the Organisation of American States (OAS) general secretariat with respect to the drowning of 20-plus Venezuelans appears to target Trinidad and Tobago without basis.
This is according to Trinidad and Tobago Ambassador to Washington and the OAS, retired Brigadier General Anthony Phillips-Spencer who made it clear to an OAS meeting on Wednesday that this country had no involvement in that incident.
Phillips-Spencer said the T&T delegation had noted with deep concern the reliability that has been assigned by some persons including the IAHRC on these erroneous reports.
