It is with great sadness that the Caribbean Community (CARICOM) has learnt of the recent passing of Ambassador A Missouri Sherman-Peter of the Commonwealth of The Bahamas.
Ambassador Sherman-Peter was a luminary in regional and international diplomacy, with a career spanning significant roles that profoundly impacted the Caribbean’s engagement on the global stage.
She served with distinction as CARICOM Permanent Observer to the United Nations from 2014 to 2023, a role she held with unwavering dedication and exceptional skill. She was instrumental in advancing the cause of Small Island Developing States (SIDS), ensuring their voices were heard and their interests advanced on the global stage.
The CARICOM Secretariat and the entire Community are deeply indebted to Ambassador Sherman-Peter for her invaluable contribution to regional integration and her steadfast representation of our shared values. Her passing is a significant loss to the Caribbean Community, and her legacy of service, dedication, and diplomatic excellence will continue to inspire.
We extend our sympathies to her family, friends, and all who had the privilege of knowing and working with her.
