Jan 17, 2024

(CARICOM Secretariat, Turkeyen, Greater Georgetown, Guyana - Wednesday, 17 January 2024) -  The Caribbean Community (CARICOM) has learnt, with deep sadness, of the passing of His Honour Justice Jacob Wit, esteemed Judge of the Caribbean Court of Justice (CCJ). 

Justice Wit served the Community and the wider legal profession in our Region with distinction and passion for 18 years, before retiring from the CCJ in December 2023. 

His breadth of knowledge and experience in military, constitutional and international human rights law greatly enriched the administration of justice in the Region. 

The Community recognises his invaluable legacy of promoting best practices in Caribbean jurisprudence, particularly through his involvement with the CCJ Academy for Law. 

CARICOM extends heartfelt condolences to his family, the legal fraternity and all who mourn his loss.

May his soul rest in peace.
