As Caricom prepares to seek an advisory opinion from the Caribbean Court of Justice (CCJ) on the process used to reappoint its Secretary General Dr Carla Barnett, some stakeholders say the move could provide long-awaited legal clarity while strengthening the regional body’s governance and decision-making.
The University of the West Indies (The UWI), St Augustine Campus principal, Professor Rose-Marie Belle Antoine, who previously served as dean of the Faculty of Law, described the decision as “an excellent” and “mature” step that removes the issue from the political arena and places it before an independent court.
