The island territories of the Netherlands Antilles (Dutch: eilandgebieden) were the top-level administrative subdivisions of the Netherlands Antilles. The government of each island territory consisted of three major parts:[1]
The island council (eilandsraad) – the local parliament, elected every four years.
The executive council (bestuurscollege) – the executive board of the island territory, comparable to the Dutch provincial executive and municipal executive.
The lieutenant governor (gezaghebber) – chair of the island council and executive council, appointed by the Crown for a six-year term.
