Sep 17, 2016 News

The Commonwealth Judges and Magistrates’ Association, a London-based organisation, in collaboration with the Supreme Court of Guyana, will host a conference at the Marriott Hotel in Georgetown from Monday.
The conference which has as its theme “The Judiciary as guarantors of the rule of law”, has recorded intended participation from judges and magistrates from a wide spread of countries across the Commonwealth, from as far as Tonga, Papua New Guinea, Australia, New Zeeland, Europe, Canada and from the Caribbean region.
Chancellor of the Judiciary (ag.) Justice Carl Singh has indicated that one of the conference guests of honour will be the President of the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago, Anthony Carmona, who is scheduled to deliver a keynote speech to the conference.
The conference has attracted a distinguished array of speakers on a diverse spread of topics on the Rule of Law, the provision of resources for the courts, anti-terrorism legislation and human rights, Environmental Law and Sustainable development.
The conference aims to promote better understanding among judicial officers of all ranks and from all parts of the Commonwealth, of judicial independence issues and to explore the approach to those issues in different parts of the Commonwealth.
The conference also seeks to promote greater awareness among the magistrates and judges of the Commonwealth, of international treaties and law relating to the development and access to justice and to consider the practical application of that body of law and enhancing networking within the Commonwealth Magistrates and Judges Association on judicial developments.
Prime Minister Moses Nagamootoo will deliver a keynote address to the conference delegates and special invitees on the opening day of the conference. The activities will end on Wednesday.
