Dear
Friends,
Here is
some music for you, and a short account of the maritime history of Trinidad and
Venezuela.

Dear Anthony,
Your presentation on the international border between Trinidad
and Venezuela was very much to the point, and I'd love to have a copy myself.
For the moment, though, the report as given will suffice.
Congratulations on a job well done, and for maintaining the name
of Trinidad and Tobago so prominently within the international community.
The Mount Boys should all be proud of your work.
Question: Do you know anything about the surrender documents
between Spain and Trinidad in 1797, when Abercromby captured the island.
I'm particularly interested to find out whether the islands off
the NE peninsula, incl. Monos, Patos, Chacachacare and Huevos formed part of
the surrender.
I have found a copy of what is reportedly the surrender document,
but my specific question is nowhere addressed.
I believe that Dr. Eric Williams referred to the surrender in one
of his speeches, but I can no longer put my hands on the document which I once
had.
Any advice which you can give me on this matter, therefore, would
be greatly appreciated.
Thank you very much for your kind attention.
I look forward to your response.
Nigel

INTERNATIONAL TRIBUNAL FOR THE LAW OF THE SEA JUDGE LECTURES AT
IMLI
Judge
Anthony Lucky (Judge of the International Tribunal for Law of the Sea (ITLOS))
visited the Institute on 21 February 2013 and delivered a lecture on “The
Development of the Law of the Sea: Trinidad and Tobago’s Unique Contribution.”
As an
introductory note, Judge Lucky stated that the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago
is an archipelagic state in the southern Caribbean, lying just off the coast of
northeastern Venezuela and south of Grenada in the Lesser Antilles. It shares
maritime boundaries with other nations including Barbados to the northeast,
Grenada to the northwest, Guyana to the southeast, and Venezuela to the south
and west.
See Photo: Judge and Mrs. Anthony Lucky with the IMLI Class of
2012/2013
After
his introduction, Judge Lucky examined in detail the Treaty signed in 1942
between the United Kingdom (at the time Trinidad and Tobago was a protectorate
of the United Kingdom) and Venezuela relating to the Submarine Areas of the
Gulf of Paria. The Gulf of Paria is a 7,800 km2 (3,000 square miles) shallow
inland sea between the islands of Trinidad and Tobago and the east coast of
Venezuela. Judge Lucky explained that, as per the treaty, the sea bed beyond
the territorial waters of the Gulf was divided into two sectors. In one sector
the United Kingdom agreed not to assert any claim to the sovereignty or control
and to recognize any rights to sovereignty or control lawfully acquired by
Venezuela, while Venezuela gave a corresponding undertaking in respect of the
other sector. Judge Lucky noted that the importance of the Gulf of Paria Treaty
consists in succeeding in the delimitation of the continental shelf, before the
legal concept of the continental shelf itself was established.
He
continued his presentation by further discussing the effects of the Truman
Proclamation of 1945, the 1958 Geneva Convention on the Continental Shelf and
the relevant provisions of the 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the
Sea (UNCLOS). He concluded his presentation by discussing the 1990 Delimitation
Treaty between Trinidad and Tobago and Venezuela and its implications.
On the
occasion of Judge Lucky’s visit, the first representative of Belize to IMLI
placed the Institute’s badge on the IMLI map.
Judge
Anthony Lucky is a Member of the Tribunal since 2 September 2003. He was
elected as the President of the Chamber for Marine Environment Disputes for the
period 2005 to 2008, and holds the same position since 5 October 2011.
He
graduated from the Council of Legal Education, Gray's Inn, London in 1961 and
obtained, in the same year, a Post Final Practical Training Certificate. He
received a Diploma in International Relations, Institute of International
Relations, University of the West Indies (1972-1973) and a Masters’ degree in
International Relations, Faculty of Social Sciences, University of the West
Indies (1984).
Between
1987 and 2003, Judge Lucky served as a Judge of the Supreme Court of Trinidad
and Tobago and as a Justice of Appeal in the Court of Appeal of Trinidad and
Tobago for the period 2000 to 2003.In 2010 he was elected as Ombudsman for the
Caribbean Association Council for Engineering and Technology (CACET).
Judge
Lucky is a Member of the Board of Directors, Academy of Tertiary Studies,
Trinidad and Tobago and Chairman since 2003, and a Member of the Commonwealth
Magistrates' and Judges' Association. He has delivered numerous lectures and
written extensively on the field of international law and the law of the

Trev,
I'm sorry to hear that Mike Chatterton has left us for good.
I've tried a few times to contact him as well, but at least the
mystery is solved now.
Thank you for persisting and bringing this search to a
conclusion.
I'll amend the DataBase.
May God rest his soul in peace.
Nigel
P.S. I'm passing this info on to others from his time frame at
MSB, so that they're kept informed.

Wow! All this time and no one has noticed the absence of Fr. Patience's
name?
What the . . .!
Anyway, thanks so much for bringing this to my attention.
I'll add him in right away.
By copy of this email, I'm requesting Ms. Maria Afong, the
Archbishop's secretary, to give us a little information on Fr, Patience,
please.
With sincere good wishes,

Dear Arthur and Geoffrey,
I hope this email finds you both in good health.
As you by now already know, the Old Boys of the Abbey School, Mt.
St. Benedict, have been attempting for the past 12 years or so, to contact all
those of us who are still alive and kicking.
We have had considerable success, and this has led to a number of
interesting reunions, roti nights, fishing trips, ole-talk limes, and so
on.
But we still need to make an effort to connect with those others
among us for whom we have no contact information as yet.
The project is on-going.
Here's where you guys come in.
I'm wondering whether you might know Edward, Dean and Gerard
Xavier (they might in fact be your brothers or cousins) and if so, would you be
able to tell us where they live, their phone numbers, and most importantly,
their email addresses.
Any help in this direction would be greatly appreciated.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Best wishes,
Nigel Boos

Nieto Rodriguez (MSB 1946-1952)
From Nigel
Boos
Gentlemen,
A moment please, if you will.
I need a little help here.
Do you remember an Old Boy of MSB by the name of Nieto Rodriguez,
possibly from Venezuela?
It seems that he had contacted us sometime ago via Kazim
Abasali's website, and his name has now surfaced.
If you do remember him, perhaps you can tell me whatever you do
know.
Apparently, he was a student at MSB between 1946 - 1952, and I'm
trying to locate him.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thank you.
Nigel Boos
