Mr Justice Winston Anderson, CCJ President, addresses the audience at the Congress on the Modernisation of the Judiciary in Paramaribo, Suriname. Photo: CCJ<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>From January 20 to 24, 2026, a senior delegation from the Caribbean Court of Justice (CCJ) carried out an official visit to the Republic of Suriname, following an invitation from the Honourable Mr. Justice Iwan Rasoelbaks, President of Suriname\u2019s Court of Justice.<\/p>\n<p>CCJ reported via press release that during the visit, members of the CCJ, including Honourable Mr. Justice Winston Anderson, the Court\u2019s President; Honourable Mr. Justice Peter Jamadar, a CCJ Judge; Sir Dennis Byron, a former CCJ President; and Gabrielle Figaro-Jones, the Registrar and Chief Marshal, engaged with Surinamese judicial officials, lawmakers, and other stakeholders at the Congress on Modernizing the Judiciary.<\/p>\n<p>The event took place at the Torarica Resort in Paramaribo on 22 January 2026. The presentations focused on the CCJ\u2019s structure, operational effectiveness, institutional setup, and the potential for Suriname to join the Court\u2019s Appellate Jurisdiction.<\/p>\n<p>During his speech at the Congress, President Anderson emphasized that joining the CCJ\u2019s Appellate Jurisdiction would affirm Suriname\u2019s sovereignty and independence, bolster regional institutions, and enrich the diversity of jurisprudence in the Caribbean.<\/p>\n<p>Suriname\u2019s legal tradition is rooted in civil law, which contrasts with most other Caribbean Community member states that follow common law principles.<\/p>\n<p>According to the release, President Anderson proposed the creation of a dedicated Civil Law Chamber within the CCJ to handle appeals originating from Suriname.<\/p>\n<p>He explained that this chamber would be staffed with judges well-versed in civil law jurisprudence. Proceedings would be conducted entirely in accordance with civil law practices, with appeals processed under procedural rules drafted in Dutch. All filings, evidence, and correspondence would be in Dutch, aligning with Suriname\u2019s legal and linguistic environment.<\/p>\n<p>As part of the official visit, the delegation also paid a courtesy call to Her Excellency Jennifer Geerlings-Simons, President of Suriname. The discussion centered on judicial reform efforts and the CCJ\u2019s role in supporting Suriname\u2019s modernization process and regional integration.<\/p>\n<p>The Court says it remains eager to continue collaborating with Suriname as the country advances its judicial modernization efforts, in line with the CCJ\u2019s mission to promote access to justice, regional unity, and the rule of law across the Caribbean.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"From January 20 to 24, 2026, a senior delegation from the Caribbean Court of Justice (CCJ) carried out an official visit to the Republic of Suriname, following an invitation from the Honourable Mr. Justice Iwan Rasoelbaks, President of Suriname\u2019s Court&#8230;","protected":false},"author":13,"featured_media":356034,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_cbd_carousel_blocks":"[]","footnotes":""},"categories":[19,235,9],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-356033","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-crime-court-law","category-homepage-carousel","category-news"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
