Caribbean Commission

The Caribbean Commission, originally the Anglo-American Caribbean Commission, was established on 9 March 1942 to improve the common social and economic problems of the region and deal with wartime issues.[1][2] In 1946, the governments of the United States and United Kingdom invited France and the Netherlands to join, creating the Caribbean Commission with a central secretariat in Port-of-Spain, Trinidad and Tobago.[3]

The so-called 'West-Indian Conferences' were held in 1944 (Barbados), 1946 (St. Thomas), 1948 (Guadeloupe), 1950 (Curaçao), 1952 (Jamaica), 1955 Porto Rico, 1957 (Curacao), 1959 (St. Thomas).
