KINGSTON, Jamaica – THE ripple effects of the recent landmark ruling by the Caribbean Court of Justice (CCJ) in the case of Jamaican Shanique Myrie vs the Barbados Government should awaken the leaders of Caricom out of their Rip van Winkle-like slumber to honour their commitment to unhindered free intra-regional movement of citizens of the community.
No less a person than the community's Secretary General Irwin LaRocque has chosen to go public with his interpretation of what the CCJ's judgement means for the 15-member regional economic integration movement now marking its 40th anniversary.
