Minister for Justice, Immigration & National Security, Rayburn Blackmores stands behind the DLP Government’s Anti-Terrorist Bill in its current form. He says there is an increase in the number of Caribbean countries being involved in terrorist activities. He referenced Trinidad & Tobago as one example of a CARICOM member state that is actively experiencing terrorist acts. Blackmore who is the Chairman of the current CARICOM Council of ministers for national security and law enforcement, states that Dominica has a mandate to implement harmonized laws against crimes of terror with the rest of CARICOM. He says questioning Dominica’s involvement with Isis and terrorist group is not a very smart thing to do, and believes that terrorist can use the Caribbean to facilitate their acts of terrorism. Blackmoore says the bill is part of an action plan by CARICOM member states working in concert with Global Partners to fight extremist groups, including ISIS and to fight aspects relating to terrorism on all levels. The Government will have to enact Anti-Terrorism Legislation with other CARICOM states within a certain time frame, but a protest of the bill on Monday, interrupted plans to have it passed in Parliament.
