By Aaron Humes: The late James Earl “Jimmy” Carter, Jr., 100, is as fondly remembered in Belize as he was in the United States.

Still the only U.S. President to have visited Belize (though not in his official capacity), he stood with Belize during our push for independence with intact territory and sovereignty as well as promoted peace and human rights initiatives worldwide.

That legacy is being remembered by the Opposition United Democratic Party, who in a statement issued within hours of President Carter’s passing said, “President Carter’s life of service and leadership has left an indelible mark on the world. His dedication to peace, human rights, and international cooperation will forever be remembered as a testament to his enduring commitment to global unity and stability. President Carter’s influence extended far beyond the borders of the United States of America, his efforts to promote peace and resolve conflicts across the globe, from the Camp David Accords to his advocacy for humanitarian causes, set a standard for leadership that transcended national and personal interests. His legacy as a champion for democracy, human dignity and sustainable progress is one that will continue to inspire present and future generations worldwide, including in Belize.”

On his relationship with Belize the UDP noted, “His strong advocacy for the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Belize played a crucial role in securing our nation’s place in the international community. For this and for his many contributions to global peace and prosperity, we remain eternally grateful.”

Carter’s family received the Order of Belize in 2023 on his behalf in recognition of his friendship with the Jewel.
