Rookmeenee Narainamah Narayen (Mauritius)

Date of birth: 15 April 1941

Working languages: English, French and Creole


Chairperson - Financial Services Review Panel. I chair the said panel when an aggrieved person appeals the decision of the Financial Services Commission Enforcement Committee. On the hearing of the application for review, the Review Panel may confirm, amend or cancel a decision made by the Enforcement Committee. This often includes interpreting complex financial regulations and the Code on the prevention of money laundering & terrorist financing.


• Chairperson Financial Services Review Panel (2016-to date)

• Practising Barrister, Mauritian Bar (1971-1975)


I was called to the Bar of England & Wales in November 1970. I am a Barrister-at-Law, Lincoln’s Inn, United Kingdom.


Since I returned to Mauritius in January 1971 as a Barrister, I have been a crusader on human rights issues more particularly the right of the child and women’s right. I was instrumental to the amendment of laws discriminatory towards women and children. Throughout my career in the Judiciary I had to address issues relating to human rights including social justice. As Judge of the Supreme Court, I delivered leading judgments on human rights issues such as the right to bail and the right to education. As Ombudsperson for Children, in addition to the significant number of investigations conducted, I relentlessly conducted awareness-raising campaigns to foster a culture supportive of children’s rights. The four annual reports I presented bear testimony to the remarkable achievements. I urged the State to sign and ratify the Third Optional Protocol to the Convention on the Rights of the Child.
