Economic History | Jamaica | Local elections were held in 1998, when the PNP won a decisive victory. (references) |
Jamaica | Patterson subsequently led the PNP to victory in general elections in 1993 and in December 1997. The 1997 victory marked the first time any Jamaican political party has won three consecutive general elections since the introduction of universal suffrage to Jamaica in 1944. The current composition of the lower house of Jamaica's Parliament is 49 PNP and 11 JLP. The JLP won a long-held PNP parliamentary seat in a March 2001 by-election. (references) | |

Peru | In the case of Walter Munarriz Escobar, who disappeared in 1999 after being taken into police custody in Huancavelica, a court found two of the six PNP officers guilty of committing a crime against humanity--forced disappearance--and sentenced them to 18 years in jail and fined them approximately $5,700 (20,000 soles). (references) | |
Jamaica | Police theorized that the murder was a reprisal for the September 3 killing of a former JLP activist who had switched allegiance to the PNP. Killings in the area soon escalated to a total of 14, although it was not clear that all were politically motivated. (references) | |
Indigenous People | Philippines | The Higaonon people in Mindanao claim that they continue to be deprived of portions of their ancestral land by a powerful local landowning family that forced their removal through a violent demolition conducted by the PNP and private security forces in 1997. The Catholic Bishops Conference of the Philippines continues to express concern over the effects of existing and planned large-scale mining on the land of the many indigenous people of Mindanao. (references) |
Political Economy | Panama | PNP officers are suspected in the deaths of two men. (references) |
Philippines | The Government's Commission on Human Rights (CHR), established under the 1987 Constitution, again described the PNP as the worst abuser of human rights, although complaints against the police decreased significantly compared with 2000. Police leaders at times appeared to sanction extrajudicial killings and brutality as expedient means of fighting crime. (references) | |
Political Rights | Jamaica | One of the 16 cabinet members is a woman, as is the PNP General Secretary. (references) |
Jamaica | The PNP holds 46 of the 60 seats in Parliament; the opposition JLP holds 12. At year's end, two seats were vacant. (references) | |

(references) | |
Women | Philippines | The PNP and the DSWD both maintain women's help desks to assist victims of violence against women and to encourage the reporting of crimes. (references) |
