Law Ministers and Senior Legal Officers from other Commonwealth Caribbean territories are present: Belize, BVI, Grenada, Jamaica, St Vincent & The Grenadines, Trinidad & Tobago, as well as representatives of the 56 independent countries that make up the Commonwealth in Africa, Asia, the Americas, Europe and the Pacific. 

The Attorney General stated that “[t]hese meetings are extremely important for small island states like ours, because we lack the human capacity to develop all of the necessary complex systems and laws to preserve and enhance the rule of law. For example, we have no National Computer Emergency Response (“CER”) Structure, a need given the proliferation of international cybercrimes. I promise to come back home with the best practice policies and model law to implement a CER Team and National Cybercrime Response Plan with the assistance of Hon. Konris Maynard, Minister of ICT.” 

The Attorney-General has also held discussions with Hon. Minister of Justice and Attorney General, Dr. Emmanuel Ugirashebuja, of Rwanda about various legal systems that can be adapted to serve our people in St Kitts & Nevis, particularly their innovative Legal Aid and Criminal Investigation systems and negotiated technical support from Farzana Nazir-Mohammed, Director of the Criminal Justice Unit of the Ministry of Legal Affairs in Trinidad & Tobago, for our Criminal Justice Reform project which he initiated since taking office. 

He continued: “Those are just day one benefits. I anticipate even more productive conversations and commitments over the next few days as we discuss various topics, including People Centred Justice; The Future of Our Courts; Law, Climate Change and Food Security; Commonwealth Anti-Corruption Benchmarks; Cybersecurity for Elections: A Commonwealth Guide on Best Practice; and Freedom of Expression and the Role of the Media, to name a few. We must piggyback on the intellectual advancements and model structures of our Commonwealth brothers and sisters, so that we can create bespoke systems that benefit our people.”
