Neighbouring Suriname is exploring its accession to the Appellate Jurisdiction of the Caribbean Court of Justice (CCJ) and to this end, a high-level delegation from the Court recently concluded an official visit to the Republic of Suriname, following an invitation extended by Justice Iwan Rasoelbaks, President of the Court of Justice of Suriname, a CCJ release stated yesterday. The delegation included President of the CCJ, Justice Winston Anderson; CCJ Judge, Justice Peter Jamadar; former CCJ President, Sir Dennis Byron; and Registrar and Chief Marshal, Gabrielle Figaro-Jones. The presentations also addressed the Court’s framework, operability, effectiveness, and institutional architecture, as well as the possibility of Suriname’s accession to the Appellate Jurisdiction of the CCJ. To facilitate this difference, Anderson outlined a proposal for the establishment of a specific Civil Law Chamber within the CCJ to hear appeals from Suriname. It further explained that the Chamber would comprise suitably qualified judges, experienced in civil law jurisprudence.
