Virtual panel will examine the realities of territorial status
By Right to Democracy staffPago Pago, AMERICAN SAMOA — Following recent public comments by President Trump suggesting Greenland could become a future U.S. territory, questions have resurfaced about what territorial status actually means in practice. While often framed as symbolic or strategic, U.S. territorial status has real and lasting consequences for political rights, self-determination, environmental governance, and everyday life for millions of people.
This week, Right to Democracy will host a virtual conversation bringing together experts and leaders from U.S. territories to examine what Greenlanders — and every American – should know about being a U.S. territory and what people in U.S. territories can learn from Greenland’s relationship with Denmark. The discussion will explore the democratic, economic, environmental, and military implications of territorial governance, grounded in lived experience.
Panelists include:
Guam - Robert Underwood, former Guam Delegate, Chair, Pacific Center for Island Security
Puerto Rico - Eva Prados, Comisión Ciudadana para la Auditoría Integral del Crédito Público
American Samoa - Charles Ala’ilima, American Samoan Attorney
U.S. Virgin Islands - Hadiya Sewer, Environment & Democracy Fellow
Northern Mariana Islands - Sheila Babauta, Chair, Friends of the Mariana Trench, Environment & Democracy Fellow
The conversation will be moderated by Neil Weare, Co-Director of Right to Democracy.
The Virtual Panel Will Take Place:
Thursday, February 5th at 5:00 pm EST, 6:00 pm AST, 11:00 am SST (American Samoa)
Friday, February 6th at 8:00 am ChST (Guam / Northern Mariana Islands)

Dobrodošli na platformu „Globalni medijski internet pregledač“sedmasila.com
Platforma Sedma Sila je velika online baza newspaper medija iz celog
sveta sa tendecijom konstantnog rasta. Projekat je pokrenut u Srbiji
2016 godine od strane nekolicine kreativnih i ambicioznih ljudi.
Platforma je na web-u dostupna za sve korisnike internet mreže od
Septembra 2020 godine. Stalno radimo na razvoju i i unapređenju
jedinstvenog univerzalnog modula koji će biti zajednički za sve online
newspaper medije. Trenutno na World Wide Web ne postoji javno dostupna
kompletna baza svih medija, uređena tako da korisnicima pruži
jednostavan izbor i brz pristup. Vezano za medije, Google, Facebook i
ostali pretraživaći nude drugačiji concep baze u odnosu na Sedma Sila.
Stalno radimo na poboljšanju funkcionalnosti i dizajniranju platforme.
Naša Misija je da medijske informacije dostupne na Webu, prikupimo,
kategorijski uredimo i prezentujemo korinicima kroz „Novi Internet
Concept“.
Nismo zadovoljni onim što smo uradili. To nas pokreće da nastavimo sa
usavršavanjem projekta.
