Former Foreign Affairs Minister Carl Greenidge has said that any inconsistency by Guyana in its treatment of laws—local and international—would affect its search for support among the international community and also has far-reaching implications for its border controversy with Venezuela which is currently before the International Court of Justice (ICJ).
In an article published by this newspaper on Tuesday, Greenidge submitted that Guyana’s treatment of Haitians, the passage of its local-content legislation for the Petroleum sector and suggestions from some of opting out of the CARICOM-founding Treaty of Chaguaramas are prime examples of inconsistency in the application of the rule of law and honouring its obligations under international law.
