Crime and security are regional problems, requiring a regional solution, CARICOM Secretary General Irwin La Rocque asserted yesterday, lobbying for member states to fully cooperate to address the issues, and reminding of the passing of a strategy to address same.
La Rocque gave his address at the Caribbean Summit on Youth Violence Prevention yesterday, at the Marriott Hotel, Guyana.
The summit, which began on Tuesday and ended yesterday, was convened by the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), in partnership with the Government of Guyana, the CARICOM Secretariat, UNICEF, the Caribbean Development Bank, the Commonwealth Secretariat, the Organisation of Eastern Caribbean States Commission, and the Caribbean Learning for Youth Networking and Change Sessions (LYNCS) Network.
