CLOSING ADDRESS BY HON. CHANCELLOR DESIREE BERNARD, O.R., C.C.H. AT CONFERENCE OF CHIEF MAGISTRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN COMMUNITY, 26 JANUARY 2003,  GEORGETOWN, GUYANA

In 1970 at the Sixth Caribbean Heads of Government Conference held in Jamaica that country’s delegation proposed the establishment of a Caribbean Court of Appeal. Arguments for and against such a Court have been discussed and debated by both Bench and Bar of the Region for the past thirty years. In February 2001 the last bold step was taken to ensure the establishment of the Caribbean Court of Justice when the agreement establishing the Court was signed by the Heads of Government of the Caribbean Community.

THE MAGISTRACY AND THE CARIBBEAN COURT OF JUSTICE:  CHALLENGES, PROSPECTS AND THE OPPORTUNITIES FOR JUDICIAL ENHANCEMENT : ADDRESS DELIVERED BY DR. ABDULAI O. CONTEH, CHIEF JUSTICE OF BELIZE, AT THE CONFERENCE OF CHIEF MAGISTRATES OF MEMBER STATES OF THE CARIBBEAN COMMUNITY, 25 JANUARY 2003, GEORGETOWN, GUYANA

May I first acknowledge with appreciation the opportunity to say a few words on this important occasion.  My appreciation goes particularly to Dr. Edwin Carrington, the indefatigable Secretary General of CARICOM who has over the years, tirelessly exerted himself in pursuit of regional integration, cooperation and advancement.  This occasion is but yet another manifestation of this; for under his watch the project for which we meet here today will hopefully now come to fruition.
