Caricom has decided to engage a regional law firm to address the challenge to the re-election of Dr. Carla Barnett, the organization's Secretary-General. This decision follows a meeting between the Prime Minister of Saint Lucia and his counterpart from Trinidad and Tobago, where updates on the Trinidadian government's request for advice were exchanged. The transparency of the process is ensured, as neither the Secretary-General nor the Caricom council are participating in this procedure.
