Representatives of the Indigenous Peoples of the Caribbean have made a decision to establish a regional mechanism to address issues affecting their nations which can make arguments on their behalf at the regional and international levels.
According to a press release from the Department of Public Information (DPI), the agreement was reached yesterday, at the close of a three-day seminar held at the Ramada Georgetown Princess Hotel, at Providence, East Bank Demerara. The meeting was facilitated by the Improved Access to Justice in the Caribbean (IMPACT Justice), a five-year Regional Justice Sector Reform Project funded by the Government of Canada.
