UNITED NATIONS, CMC - The United Nations says that 10 Caribbean Community (CARICOM) countries have signed the first ever international treaty to regulate the trade of conventional weapons. The UN identified them as Antigua and Barbuda, Bahamas, Belize, Grenada, Guyana, Jamaica, St. Lucia, St. Vincent and the Grenadines, Suriname, and Trinidad and Tobago. Grenada’s Foreign Affairs and International Business Minister Nickolas Steele said the treaty “will save many of the innocent lives, which before today, have been lost as a result of the poorly regulated international arms trade”.
