Back to Statements of Meetings   STATEMENT ISSUED BY THE 24 MEETING OF THE CONFERENCE OF HEADS OF GOVERNMENT OF THE CARIBBEAN COMMUNITY ON BILATERAL AGREEMENTS UNDER ARTICLE 98 OF THE ROME STATUTE ESTABLISHING THE INTERNATIONAL CRIMINAL COURT

At the Twenty-Fourth Meeting of the Conference of Heads of Government of the Caribbean Community, Heads considered the request made to each Member State of the Community by the Government of the United States of America to enter into bilateral immunity or “non-surrender” agreements that exempt US nationals and other persons who have worked for the US Government from the jurisdiction of the International Criminal Court (ICC).

ADDRESS BY THE RT. HON. OWEN ARTHUR, PRIME MINISTER OF BARBADOS, AT THE OPENING CEREMONY OF THE TWENTY-FOURTH MEETING OF THE CONFERENCE OF HEADS OF GOVERNMENT OF THE CARIBBEAN COMMUNITY, 2 JULY 2003,MONTEGO BAY, JAMAICA

My presence here today as Prime Minister is the consequence of an electoral choice that is without precedent in the post-independence history of my country.

It focuses my mind on the fact that we live in unprecedented times – in a world caught up with difficult and dangerous new tensions, and confronted with blistering and bewildering change that makes it often very difficult for our people to see the future.

STATEMENT ON THE WAR IN IRAQ ISSUED BY THE SIXTEENTH MEETING OF THE BUREAU OF THE CONFERENCE OF HEADS OF GOVERNMENT OF THE CARIBBEAN COMMUNITY, 5 APRIL 2003, MONTEGO BAY, JAMAICA

At its Fourteenth Inter-Sessional Meeting (in Port-of-Spain, Trinidad and Tobago, 14-15 February 2003), the Conference of Heads of Government of the Caribbean Community “considered the situation developing over Iraq and expressed their profound concern at the escalation of global tensions and their grave implications for the preservation of international peace and security.”

Since then there has been an outbreak of war. The Caribbean Community regrets the resulting loss of life on all sides.
