Cayman Net News: Small countries deserve more consideration over international obligations

Small countries deserve more consideration over international obligations

Reader comments:

How can the Cayman Net News advocate for transparency in government without understanding the corresponding importance of supporting human rights initiatives for Cayman citizens? Or perhaps this is Ms. Quappe's personal view? I believe it is misguided. Please explain-exactly what are those rights that Cayman cannot afford its people? And how can insuring human rights be more costly than the rising price Caymanians pay for living in constant fear of reprisal for criticizing government policies or practice? Wake up Cayman! Human rights cannot be measured in coin or currency. Look around --Look to history. Many citizens of this globe have even sacrificed their lives to protect human rights in their countries.

Thank you, Barrie, for voicing this concern so eloquently and truthfully. It may fall on deaf ears, but we share your concern. All voters and supporters of candidates for the Legislature had better do as you say, and "be more vigilant as to what international policies our government representatives may be signing us up for"... and be careful who we vote in - Born Caymanian
