CARICOM, CFAC and other organizations have served
as shining examples in this regard.
The greatest success has been achieved in
disseminating a framework of positive perceptions
associated with the bilateral, multilateral or regional
measures implemented by nations . . .CSBM REPORTS PROVIDE THIS FRAMEWORK.

5.5.‐‐ INITIATIVESINITIATIVES
We are the Military component of the Multidimensional process but we need to work in cooperation with public safety issues to become more familiar with the current realities of the small nations.Subordination by the Military to Civilian Authority is always the
rule.We hope to work even more closely with the small States of the Caribbean but we need commitment.
Membership by the Small States to the IADB is fundamental to increase levels of support, all the delegations and civilian advisors are welcome as mandated by the Statutes.
Through integration we can better address threats and weaknesses.
