Assistance to the Caribbean Community (CARICOM) region in drafting legislation to further regional integration and economic growth, more legislative protection of vulnerable groups against discrimination, the training of mediators to assist parties in solving disputes without recourse to long and expensive court proceedings and a programme for sensitizing ordinary people about their rights under the law are among the benefits promised to CARICOM citizens as a new justice project takes effect.
The “Improved Access to Justice in the Caribbean” (IMPACT Justice) project funded by the government of Canada under an agreement with the Cave Hill Campus of the UWI was launched recently at a ceremony at the Cave Hill Campus.
