UNITED NATIONS, Sep.  28,  CMC – Stating that, over the decades, representatives of Small Island Developing States (SIDS) have come to the General Assembly to state the case for fairer treatment of their developmental needs and challenges by the international community, St. Lucia on Friday said that SIDS continue to be “severely disadvantaged by an unfair global financial system that has amplified its inequities by the measurements and standards it has employed to assess our development.”
