3rd Annual Symposium on Law, Governance and Society

VICE-CHANCELLOR’s Message

The world is currently experiencing tremendous

geopolitical tensions which will ultimately impact

on how countries engage with each other, within

regional blocs and even within themselves. The

widespread use of ICTs that transcend internation-

al borders exposes individuals and corporations to

hacking, attacks by criminals such as the lottery

scammers, libel, and other forms of abuse for

which legal recourse is required. Crime in its

many forms has been cited as a deterrent factor in

development in our region. The justice system

must be adept and agile in how it responds.

The legal fraternity in the Caribbean has to be aware of what is taking place

globally in order to respond locally. They have to be able to interpret outdated

laws to ensure that the citizenry is adequately protected. The fraternity must

also advocate for changes in the laws to ensure that they are adequately pre-

pared for the future. You, the participants at this Symposium are the people

largely responsible for all the foregoing.

Congratulations to the Faculty of Law for hosting another important

symposium and my sincere thanks to each of you for taking the time out to

engage in this important discussion.

My best wishes for a successful Symposium.

Blessings, Sir Hilary Beckles PhD, BA(Hons) Vice-Chancellor The University of the West Indies
