Professor Hamid Ghany: PM Scored 'Diplomatic Coup' Over CARICOM CCJ Referral
Political Scientist Professor Hamid Ghany says Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar SC effectively staged a « diplomatic coup » in persuading CARICOM leaders to refer the reappointment of Secretary-General Dr Carla Barnett to the Caribbean Court of Justice (CCJ).
Speaking during an interview with TTT News on Tuesday, Professor Ghany described the regional leaders’ unanimous decision to support the Prime Minister’s proposal as a significant diplomatic victory, saying it validated Trinidad and Tobago’s concerns over the process used to reappoint Dr Barnett during a retreat at the last CARICOM meeting, where several Heads of Government, including T&T’s Prime Minister, were absent.
