- Abstract
The article addresses several topics, including mandatory minimum sentences for children in Jamaica, the issue of colonial crimes committed by Portugal, and the impacts of the La Niña phenomenon on agriculture in Latin America and the Caribbean. Jamaicans for Justice (JFJ) argues that the current proposals for mandatory minimum sentences overlook the unique circumstances and vulnerabilities of children, while also undermining judicial independence. The article also discusses the need for Portugal to apologize and take responsibility for its colonial crimes, and praises the Portuguese president for his intention to calculate reparations. Additionally, the article emphasizes the importance of understanding and mitigating the impacts of the La Niña phenomenon on agriculture, calling for collaboration and preparedness to ensure a safer and more sustainable future.
