Saint Vincent and the Grenadines

Child Soldier Global Report 2001
From the Coalition to Stop the Use of Child Soldiers
Grenada, Saint Lucia, Dominica, Saint Vincent and Grenadine and Saint Kitts and Nevis have police forces only, although some paramilitary training is provided for special units. The police are generally organised and supervised according to British law enforcement practices. None of these Caribbean states has a system of conscription into security forces and, therefore, recruitment is on a voluntary basis only.

Saint Vincent and the Grenadines: Landmine Monitor Report 2000
Saint Vincent and the Grenadines signed the Mine Ban Treaty on 3 December 1997. It is the only member of the Organisation of Eastern Caribbean States (OECS) that has not yet ratified the ban treaty, even though it told Landmine Monitor in April 1999 that ratification would take "another three weeks."28 In response to a letter from Mines Action Canada (MAC), Mr. George Bullen, High Commissioner of the Organisation of the Eastern Caribbean States in Ottawa, wrote that he has forwarded MAC's concerns about the delay in ratification on to the Government of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines.
