BRIDGETOWN, Barbados, CMC – A leading regional academic Tuesday called on Caribbean Community (CARICOM) countries to adopt a common position as it regards the ongoing situation in Syria.
Professor of Social and Political Change at the Mona Campus of the University of the West Indies, Brian Meeks, told the Caribbean Media Corporation (CMC) that his advice to regional governments is that “they should do it together, they should consult each other (and) they should act multilaterally through their respective organizations, in particular, the Caribbean Community and whatever decisions are made, should be made on that foundation”.
