Caricom Chairman calls for Embrace Of CCJ

At that same event, CARICOM Chairman, Dominica’s Hon Prime Minister, Dr Roosevelt Skerrit encouraged regional governments to accede to the appellate jurisdiction of the Caribbean Court of Justice.

Hon. Skerrit made the appeal as he addressed the official opening ceremony of the 37th Regular Meeting of CARICOM Heads of Government in Guyana on Monday.
“The highly significant rulings of the CCJ in matters of free movement clearly emphasize the value of this court. I believe that the confidence which we have shown in obtaining our political independence must now be extended to seizing our regional judicial sovereignty as has been done by Guyana, Barbados, Belize and Dominica. I want to encourage our other member states to take the necessary steps to accede to the appellate jurisdiction of the Caribbean Court of Justice,” he said.
