CARICOM Heads have agreed that before year end an arrest warrant treaty will take effect as part of a wider mission to improve cooperation among law enforcement authorities and to boost security in the region.
Prime Minister of Dominica and Chairman of the 37th Heads of Government Conference Roosevelt Skerrit made the announcement last night.
“We have placed as a priority the completion of the CARICOM arrest warrant treaty. This is a matter we have been discussing for some time now and I believe that heads are resolved to having this particular Treaty entered into before the end of 2016. This we believe will enhance the security of our region and it is a matter which heads fully are in support of”, he said at a press conference held at the Pegasus Hotel moments after the three-day meeting had ended.
