Saint Vincent and the Grenadines is scheduled for Universal Periodic Review by the U.N. Human Rights Council in 2011; for reference, see: http://www.upr-info.org/-Saint-Vincent-and-the-Grenadines-.html. While Saint Vincent is a member of the Organization of American States, it has not ratified the American Covenant on Human Rights,  so the Court does not take cases regarding Saint Vincent and the Grenadines (although the Commission could still consider whether the State’s laws and practices comply with its obligations as a member of the OAS, including whether its laws and practices comport with the American Declaration of the Rights and Duties of Man).
