Ironic
Dear Editor,
Kaieteur News – It is ironic, nay an embarrassment, that a Jamaican, sworn in as the fourth president of the CCJ, and who took the oath of office in Jamaica, of which that country, a signatory to the Treaty of Chaguramas, has not made the court its appellate jurisdiction.
A stirring plea from the son of the soil president for his country to fulfil its judicial sovereignty was met with a lukewarm response, with no clear indication that the country will move with alacrity in this regard.
Similar calls for other CARICOM-avoiding nations, including another state which houses the court and also a signatory to the Treaty, to join the CCJ were made by another attending head of state at the CARICOM heads of government meeting.
