“We shall always protect the rights of the people,” is what President of the Caribbean Court of Justice (CCJ), Justice Adrian Saunders said is the court’s “solemn promise” to the Region.
Justice Saunders was at the time delivering a message via YouTube to mark the commencement on Monday of the court’s 2021/2022 judicial year, which he said will see among other things the advancement of the rule of law and the legal framework underpinning the CARICOM Single Market and Economy (CSME).
Last year, the court played a pivotal role in helping to resolve the five-month impasse here over the results of the March 2nd, 2020 general elections.
