Memorials
A monument was erected at Payne's Bay, Saint James, Barbados, to the memory of the people killed in the bombing, and it was visited several times by Fidel Castro and other Cuban and Venezuelan officials, including a visit during the CARICOM meeting in December 2005 during which Cuban officials called for Posada "to be brought to justice so as to bring closure to this egregious incident that caused so much pain to the people of the region." In 2008, an additional monument to the tragedy was also under construction in Georgetown, Guyana. It is located at the junction of Camp and Lamaha streets.
