Please select the Jamaica information you desire: Jamaica Travel Net brought to you by: Call Jamaica Travel Net! Jamaican Government Government Information about Jamaica: Jamaica became an independent member of the Commonwealth of Nations in 1962. Executive power within Jamaica's government lies with a cabinet headed by a prime minister responsible to the parliament. Jamaica was discovered by Christopher Columbus on May 4, 1494, and was subsequently settled by the Spanish, who ruled the island until 1655, when it was captured by a British expedition. Formal British control was confirmed in 1670. Arawak Indians, who inhabited the island at the time of Columbus's arrival, had died out, so African slaves were imported to work the sugarcane fields. With the abolition of slavery in Jamaica in 1833, the plantations declined and the former slaves took to peasant farming. In 1958, Jamaica formed the West Indies Federation with nine other British possessions, but it withdrew in 1961, a move that led to the eventual collapse of the federation. Jamaica's withdrawal was urged by Sir Alexander Bustamante, a labor leader who became prime minister when Jamaica achieved full independence in 1962. Michael Manley, leader of the People's National party (PNP), became prime minister in 1972 and instituted wide-ranging socialist changes. The resulting trade deficit brought Jamaica near bankruptcy by 1980, forcing new elections that brought the conservative Labor party, led by Edward P. G. SEAGA, to power. Reelected in 1983, Seaga was defeated by Manley in 1989 elections. Manley, who during his second term adopted free-market economic policies, resigned in 1992 due to ill health. He was succeeded as party head and prime minister by Percival J. Patterson, who led the PNP to a landslide victory in 1993 elections.

14. Jamaica Government Page; Passports, Visas, Travel Documents Jamaica's parishes have elected councils that exercise limited powersof local government. Jamaica's political system is stable. http://www.traveldocs.com/jm/govern.htm

Jamaica GOVERNMENT The 1962 Constitution established a parliamentary system based on the U.K. model. As chief of state, Queen Elizabeth II appoints a governor-general, on the advice of the prime minister, as her representative in Jamaica. The governor-general's role is largely ceremonial. Executive power is vested in the cabinet, led by the prime minister. Parliament is composed of an appointed Senate and an elected House of Representatives. Thirteen Senators are nominated on the advice of the prime minister and eight on the advice of the leader of the opposition. General elections must be held within five years of the forming of a new government. The prime minister may ask the governor-general to call elections sooner, however. The Senate may submit bills, and it also reviews legislation submitted by the house. It may not delay budget bills for more than one month or other bills for more than seven months. The prime minister and the cabinet are selected from the parliament. No fewer than two nor more than four members of the cabinet must be selected from the Senate. The judiciary also is modeled on the U.K. system. The Court of Appeals is the highest appellate court in Jamaica. Under certain circumstances, cases may be appealed to the Privy Council of the United Kingdom. Jamaica's parishes have elected councils that exercise limited powers of local government.

More on this Web site: Jamaica: Braeton Seven - Correction An Amnesty International Press release Jamaica: The Killing of the Braeton Seven - A Justice sSystem on Trial An Amnesty International report "Two years ago tomorrow, seven young men lost their lives at the hands of the Jamaican police force. Despite such a large loss of life in a single incident, the investigation into their deaths has been totally inadequate. The evidence overwhelmingly points to the young men having been extrajudicially executed, " Amnesty International said today. "The relatives of the Braeton Seven have seen their quest for answers and justice go unheard by the authorities in Jamaica. It appears that they must look to the international community to continue their fight to find out the truth about how their sons died."
