Press Releases
It is my pleasure to bring you greetings on behalf of the CARICOM Secretariat and in particular the Secretary-General and indeed the entire CARICOM Family. This workshop is a very important one as it deals with one of the priority areas_ law ethics and human rights identified in the Caribbean Regional Strategic Framework of the Pan Caribbean Partnership against HIV/AIDS. Law, ethics and human rights are identified also as one of three elements in the PANCAP proposal to the Global Fund along with care and treatment and prevention.

Thank you for the invitation to address this Commencement Ceremony of the University of the West Indies. For me this holds particular significance, since I have very fond memories of my time at the Department of Natural Sciences from 1968 to 1971.
