The Caribbean Court of Justice (CCJ) on Thursday celebrated its 15th Anniversary and its President, Justice Adrian Saunders, said that as a court of last resort for contracting Caribbean Community (CARICOM) states, it court represents a new and different approach to regionalism.
Acknowledging that the current global environment is a somber one as the world fights against the COVID-19 pandemic, Justice Saunders said in a statement that the court feels it necessary to acknowledge its milestone and the work of all its employees from around the region who have contributed, presently contribute and continue to contribute to the rule of law in the Caribbean.
He said that since its inauguration in 2005, the court has worked on the premise that it is more than just a building, it is a service—a service that they take seriously, as the establishment of the CCJ was a defining moment in the history of the people of the region.
