Aruba is not a UN member, need for note c) in the list — Preceding unsigned comment added by 122.162.134.23 (talk) 14:17, 16 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Article Update

I've updated the article, with a bit more in the way of introduction and the addition of Bahrain to the original list. In addition, I've reordered the table to reflect the three regions described in the references. I have made the assumption that Bahrain and Singapore would fit into the AIMS region, while Timor-Leste would be in the Pacific - I can't find an exact reference for those though. There is also a bit of contradiction between the UN and AOSIS sites about the membership of the Dominican Republic and Timor-Leste. I have taken the AOSIS version as being true for the sake of building the table, though I have a feeling it may be out of date. If anyone can find a reliable and recent source either way, that would be great!

I will try to update the pages for Least developed countries and Landlocked developing countries in the same fashion when I have the chance. --Nick Moss (talk) 14:44, 22 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I have removed Bahrain from the list as it is not included in the source.

Member state of UN

Several of the states, especially in the last column, are marked with an e, indicating they are not members of the UN. Sao Tome, Singapore, etc. are members.

Not a member of the United Nations is c, not e. Sjö (talk) 12:22, 13 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Singapore

How can singapore be a developing state?2601:640:4080:5960:D528:3270:B717:97F9 (talk) 16:39, 23 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Or Bahrain for that matter. Bahrain has its issues, but is not on the same level as many of these other countries which are much poorer.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.185.15.170 (talk • contribs)

What about Bahrain and Brunei? Why are they not included while Singapore is included? 42.200.36.189 (talk) 10:47, 3 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Suggestions for improvement (May 2022)

These suggestions were made by User:ASRASR as part of this project:

We could beef up the list of concerns these countries have re sea level rise, effects on fisheries, livelihoods, tourism and the need for DRR planning and response.
Citing the way the Philippines deals with DRR could be useful as an example of how local response capacity ensures preparedness for major storms.
Would be good to add some illustrations of what it looks like in some of the SIDS coastal zones, beaches.
SIDS are a special case for sea level rise caused by climate change. SIDS is very active and organised within the UN. They are a major part of the DRR UN focus. So the article needs to refer to both SDG 13 and 14. (edit: the article does now include some content about climate change and about SDG 14 but not about SDG 13).

Additional updates are needed in this section https://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/Small_Island_Developing_States#List_of_SIDS The references in the article from 2014 are all dead links. The list of SIDS is no longer managed by ECOSOC but by UN-OHRLLS (United Nations Office of the High Representative for the Least Developed Countries, Landlocked Developing Countries and Small Island Developing States). https://www.un.org/ohrlls/ ASRASR (talk) 20:04, 10 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The official list of SIDS is here https://www.un.org/ohrlls/content/list-sids ASRASR (talk) 20:05, 10 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Support The current official UN list has a total of 57 nations (39 countries and 18 territories), 5 more than the old list. The old list still includes the Netherlands Antilles, which was dissolved in 2010 (13 years ago!). 42.200.36.189 (talk) 08:29, 4 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Bahrain and Brunei

Why are Bahrain and Brunei not included in the list of the Small Island Developing States? Singapore is already included. 42.200.36.189 (talk) 10:46, 3 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
