Lawyers representing Suriname have agreed that the country will abide by a Caribbean Court of Justice (CCJ) ruling on the legality of a unique legal measure used by its prosecutors to deny detainees access to legal representation while they are under investigation.
Surinamese attorney Hans Lim A Po gave the commitment yesterday as he presented submissions on behalf of the country in a landmark case brought by political analyst Derek Ramsamooj, who was subjected to the measure in 2020.
