ST. GEORGE’S/CMC – The Grenada government Tuesday said it would not enter into any agreement which has any possibility of violating regional, domestic or international law as the country continues to discuss a request from the United States to establish radar at Maurice Bishop International Airport (MBIA).

Prime Minister Dickon Mitchell in a statement to Parliament said Washington had also indicated that it wished to have a response by a particular time, but that his administration has not been able to provide that response “for the simple reason that…from a technical point of view, we are not in a position to satisfy ourselves as to safety and other technical requirements, as to whether or not such equipment properly optically at the airport.

“The other fundamental issue that we have to consider Mister Speaker is the fact that Grenada has no military, and therefore our cooperation with the US has always been the context of law enforcement and in the context of our own domestic law and in the context of international law.”
