CCJ judgment to shift way in which business is conducted in CARICOM
KINGSTON, Jamaica, CMC - Secretary-General of the Caribbean Community (CARICOM), Irwin LaRocque, says the recent judgment by the Caribbean Court of Justice (CCJ) in the case of Shanique Myrie and the Government of Barbados will lead to a shift in the way affairs in the Community are conducted.
LaRocque who made the statement at a conference hosted by the Sir Arthur Lewis Institute for Social and Economic Studies (SALISES) at the University of the West Indies, Mona campus, said the decision was far-reaching, addressing decision-making in the Community, the nature and effect of Community law, obligations of Member States and rights of Community nationals.
The Secretary-General also noted that the ruling reinforced the critical role of the CCJ in the integration movement as a Court which will ensure that the Community’s decisions were adhered to.
