Government In the Car ibbeanislands

Aruba Aruba is a safe, stable and friendly Caribbean island with Dutch roots. A former colony of the Netherlands, it later

formed a part of the Netherland Antilles before gaining its autonomy in 1986; under status aparte, Aruba functions

as an independent entity within the Kingdom of the Netherlands. Aruba's government is founded on democratic

principles.

Historically, Aruba was part of the Netherlands Antilles, a six-island federation which also included Bonaire, Curaao,

St. Maarten, St. Eustatius and Saba. This island grouping, in turn, formed the Caribbean component of the Dutch

Kingdom, a constitutional monarchy with the Queen of the Netherlands having the dual role of head of state of the

Kingdom of the Netherlands, as well as of the country of the Netherlands.

At a Round Table Conference (March 1983), all partners in the Kingdom (the Netherlands, the Central Government of the

Netherlands Antilles, and the governments of the individual islands) agreed to grant Aruba a separate status

within the Kingdom. On January 1, 1986 Aruba became a separate entity within the Kingdom of the Netherlands, an

event of historic proportions. This does not represent full independence for the island, a step that may be taken

only in the very distant future. Today the Kingdom consists of three partners: Holland, Aruba, and the five islands

of the Netherlands Antilles.

As a result of this agreement, Aruban affairs, formerly under the jurisdiction of the Central Government of the

Netherlands Antilles, (aviation, customs, immigration, communications, and other internal and external matters)

are now handled autonomously by Aruba. The Kingdom retains responsibility for defense and foreign affairs. Arubahas its own constitution based on Western democratic principles and manages its own aviation, customs,

immigration, and communications. Briefly stated, this political status is a form of commonwealth with Holland and

sister islands, with which Aruba retains strong economic, cultural and political ties.

The Governor is appointed by the Queen of the Kingdom for a term of six years and acts as the sovereign's representative

on the island. The Legislature consists of a 21-member parliament, elected by popular vote for a four-year term of

office. The Council of Ministers, presided over by the Prime Minister, forms the executive power. Legal jurisdiction

lies with a Common Court of Justice of Aruba and the Netherlands Antilles and ultimately with a Supreme Court of

Justice in the Netherlands.
