Cort Cautions CARICOM
CARICOM ST JOHN’S, Antigua – Minister of National Security Dr Errol Cort is looking beyond the immediate implications of the Caribbean Court of Justice (CCJ) case, which ruled in favour of Shanique Myrie, on immigration policy and practices to the modus operandi used by regional heads that may be legally binding on Caribbean Community (Caricom) member states.
Speaking yesterday on The Big Issues, Dr Cort said the prime ministers must exercise due care and caution when making decisions at Heads of Government meetings.
Dr Cort’s statement comes after the CCJ, in its original jurisdiction, gave judicial acknowledgement and authority to a decision by Caricom Heads of Government when it ruled that Myrie, a Jamaican, was treated unfairly when she was denied the right to enter Barbados hassle free for a period of up to six months.
