October 2004: The second round of informal informal consultations held in preparation for the International Meeting on the Ten-Year Review of the Barbados Programme of Action (BPOA) for the Sustainable Development of Small Island Developing States (SIDS) took place recently at UN headquarters in New York. During the consultations, delegates continued deliberations on the revised Draft Strategy for the Further Implementation of the BPOA that was produced following the previous round of informals in May 2004. With the understanding that nothing is agreed until everything is agreed, delegates resolved ten chapters of the draft Strategy Paper, and reached partial resolution on seven chapters. Text concerning Graduation, and Trade: Globalization and Trade Liberalization remain contentious, and discussions on Climate Change and Sea-Level Rise were deferred to the International Meeting.
