*Politics 💼 / British Virgin Islands 🇻🇬* *The British Virgin Islands Pave the Way to Self-Determination: A Model for the Caribbean?* The *United Nations Special Committee on Decolonization* recently released its report on the visiting mission to the British Virgin Islands, conducted from August 26 to 27, 2024. The report assesses the territory’s progress in decolonization and gathers public opinions on the next *steps toward self-determination and full governmental autonomy*. Key recommendations include implementing a *national education program* on the path to independence, establishing a *timeline for independence*, engaging in discussions with the UK government, and assessing the *need for a referendum on independence*. This initiative by the British Virgin Islands could serve as an inspiring model for other Caribbean nations seeking to assert their decolonial stance. It highlights the importance of education, dialogue, and strategic planning in the pursuit of self-determination and sovereignty. @Karayib News - 02/12/2025 _Photo credit: BVIBeacon : Sunday Observance of the 75th anniversary of the 1949 Great March (november 2024)_
