The Caribbean Community notes with deep sadness the passing on Friday 13 September 2024 of His Excellency Leonard Archer, former Bahamian Ambassador to CARICOM.

During his 15 years of representation to the Community, Ambassador Archer served his country with distinction.  He was instrumental in the activities of the Council for Foreign and Community Relations (COFCOR), contributing to enhancing the Community’s relationships with international organizations and third states, including the integration of Haiti as a Member State.

An avid trade unionist, his wealth of knowledge and expertise in industrial relations helped to shape CARICOM’s Charter of Civil Society.

Ambassador Archer’s legacy includes a solid contribution to education and the professional formation of young people in his homeland, The Bahamas, and by extension, the Region.

CARICOM conveys condolences to the Government of The Commonwealth of The Bahamas and his family members.

May he rest in peace.
