President of the Caribbean Court of Justice (CCJ), the Honourable Mr Justice Winston Anderson, will visit Barbados from January 15 to 20 as part of the Court’s regional engagement drive.
Justice Anderson, accompanied by Registrar and Chief Marshal Mrs Gabrielle Figaro-Jones, is scheduled to deliver the keynote address at the Caribbean Natural Resources Institute’s (CANARI) Partners Forum, where climate justice in the Caribbean will be the focus.
During the visit, the CCJ delegation will also pay courtesy calls on several senior public officials, including Prime Minister Mia Mottley, Chief Justice Leslie Haynes, and Leader of the Opposition Ralph Thorne.
The visit forms part of the CCJ’s Strategic Plan 2025–2032, aimed at strengthening engagement with national judiciaries and governments across the region.
According to the Court, the outreach supports its priorities of expanding access to justice, increasing regional legal collaboration, and deepening public trust through stronger communication and stakeholder engagement.
Since assuming office in July 2025, Justice Anderson has undertaken similar visits across the region. In October, he met senior officials in Guyana, including the President, senior members of the judiciary, and political stakeholders.
In November, he also held discussions in Suriname with the Minister of Justice, the President of the Court of Justice, and the Dean of the Faculty of Law at the Anton de Kom University of Suriname. (PR)
