In 1916, Congress enacted the establishment of the NPS to provide unified administration of parks and monuments. The NPS manages a diverse system of entities including parks, monuments, historic sites, battlefields, seashores, lakeshores, and recreation areas. The NPS also directs programs to assist other Federal agencies, State and local governments, and individuals in the protection of architectural, archeological, historical, and natural resources that are not part of the National Park System.

Economic History

Suriname

On September 6, 1991, NPS candidate Ronald Venetiaan was elected President, and the VHP's Jules Ajodhia became Vice President of the New Front Coalition government. (references)

Political Rights

Suriname

President Venetiaan formed a cabinet from members of the New Front coalition, comprised of the NPS, a predominantly Creole party; the Progressive Reform Party, a predominantly Hindustani party; the Suriname Labor Party, a political wing of the largest labor union; and Pertjaja Luhur, a predominantly Javanese party. (references)

Suriname

The law allows early elections with the concurrence of both the National Assembly and the President; in May 1999, widespread street demonstrations triggered by the declining economy forced the Government of then-President Wijdenbosch to call early elections, which were held in May 2000. After those elections, which observers considered to be generally free and fair, the National Assembly elected NPS leader Ronald Venetiaan as President in August 2000. The Constitution provides for the organization and functioning of political parties. (references)
