This paper presents a first exploration into disaster para-diplomacy for sub-national island territories, conceptualizing the notion and its actual execution. Following a brief theoretical background, an overview of the legal parameters and actual practices is provided by means of case studies in island disaster para-diplomacy drawn from the Commonwealth. De facto instances of island disaster para-diplomacy occur, but opportunities for using it are often not pursued, even when encouraged by easier logistics or by inadequate assistance from the island's governing state.
