SOURCE: CARIBBEAN LIFE-<\/strong> Last weekend, at the official opening of the 49th regular CARICOM <\/a><\/strong>Heads of Government meeting held at the Montego Bay Convention Centre, Rose Hall in Jamaica, Caribbean leaders unanimously decided that the region needs to be safeguarded against crime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prime Minister Andrew Holness of Jamaica announced during his address to the leaders that regional security should be a matter of concern and urgency for CARICOM.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

He expressed his dissatisfaction with the continued violence in Haiti and pleaded with other regional leaders to recommit pledges to strengthen their efforts to help Haiti.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Holness stressed an urgent need for support and alignment to combat the deteriorating security crisis because the level of violence has increased significantly and is wreaking havoc on the Haitian people. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Jamaican prime minister also expressed his concern with the sluggish response from the international community towards Haiti\u2019s problems over the years.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe must dismantle the influence of gangs in our communities, disrupt their finances\u2026 we need to launch a war on gangs of a similar nature and magnitude and deplete the war on terror,\u201d he declared.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Antigua and Barbuda<\/a><\/strong>\u2019s Prime Minister Gaston Browne joined the call and addressed the magnitude of these crimes, stating that the region faces significantly high levels of crime and CARICOM must develop a plan to fight it. <\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The Antiguan Prime Minister asked CARICOM leaders to commit more to the cause.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe criminals are getting far more advanced. It is important for us to conjoin our efforts across CARICOM to effectively combat this,\u201d Browne added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prime Minister of St. Kitts and Nevis, Terrence Drew, also welcomed a collective regional approach. \u201cSecurity remains a concern on multiple levels, with Haiti being the most affected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A coordinated response from all member states is critical,\u201d Drew stated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unfortunately, as the CARICOM leaders were in the height of their discussion on the plight of the region, news surfaced that the iconic Hotel Oloffson, once a symbol of Haiti\u2019s national pride, was destroyed by gang-related arson; in Port-au-Prince, further disrupting the lives of several people already in the realms of daily struggles for survival.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to recent reports from the United Nations\u2019 Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR), violence in Haiti continues to surge, especially in the capital, Port-au-Prince. It stated that over the last eight months, over five thousand people have been killed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The United Nations report also stated that CARICOM leaders are raising concerns over the possibility of a spill-over effect on other Caribbean nations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Laurent Saint Cyr, a member of Haiti\u2019s Transitional Presidential Council, addressed the summit in Montego Bay and urged CARICOM nations to step up their support, \u201cHaiti today needs the region to speak with one voice in defense of security, peace and substantial development,\u201d he declared.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Holness proposed creating a regional justice and security framework to develop a strong unified response to organized crime throughout the Caribbean.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Outgoing CARICOM chair and Prime Minister of Barbados, Mia Mottley, focused on the role of the United States\u2019 gun trafficking in fueling regional violence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cRegrettably, I have said over and over \u2013 we pay a high price for the Second Amendment rights of the U.S. citizens,\u201d Mottley noted, criticizing the steady flow of illegal firearms into the Caribbean.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mottley also reiterated the importance of adopting the Caribbean Court of Justice (CCJ) as the region\u2019s appellate court, highlighting the swearing-in of its new president, Jamaican jurist Winston Anderson, during the summit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Caribbean Court Justice currently serves as the final court of appeal for Barbados, Belize, Guyana, Dominica, and St. Lucia. However, many CARICOM nations still rely on the UK-based Privy Council.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are aware that some countries require referendums,\u201d the Barbados prime minister said. \u201cEncouraging public education efforts to build support for the regional court system is needed.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A recent report from Jamaican government officials stated that crime decreased during the first five months of 2025 compared to the same time last year.
\u201cThis is not about one country,\u201d Holness said. \u201cIt is about safeguarding the future of the entire Caribbean.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
