Guyana along with Dominica, Grenada, St Kitts and Nevis and St Lucia formally signed the Caribbean Arrest Warrant Treaty yesterday afternoon.
According to a press release from the Department of Public Information (DPI), the treaty was signed by the leaders of the five countries and aims to establish, within the Caribbean Community (Caricom), a system of arrest and surrender of requested persons with the aim of conducting criminal prosecutions for applicable offences or to execute custodial sentences where persons might have escaped from justice after being sentenced.
