A year and a half after CARICOM hosted a conference addressing violence as a public health issue, Prime Minister Dr Keith Rowley reported significant progress. This morning at a CARICOM Regional Symposium in Georgetown, Guyana, he announced that legislation enabling the arrest of criminals across CARICOM member states is ready for implementation. Additionally, other measures to combat inter-regional crime are nearing completion.
