The Ministry of Justice advised today that the Attorney-General and Minister of Justice, Sen. the Hon. Kim Wilkerson, JP, held a series of official justice-sector meetings during her visit to Trinidad and Tobago last week.

Minister Wilkerson was in Port of Spain to attend the 62nd Plenary and Working Group Meetings of the Caribbean Financial Action Task Force, held from 25 to 29 May 2026. A separate release will be issued regarding Bermuda’s participation in those meetings.

As part of the Minister's visit to Trinidad and Tobago for the Working Group Meetings of the Caribbean Financial Action Task Force (CFATF) last week, she made a courtesy call at the Caribbean Court of Justice, where she met with the Honourable Mr Justice Winston Anderson, President of the Caribbean Court of Justice, and attended an in-person judgment delivery.

The Minister was accompanied by the Permanent Secretary for the Ministry of Justice, Mr David Roberts and Solicitor General, Mrs Shakira Dill-Francois.

Minister Wilkerson and Mr Roberts also met with Senator the Hon. John Jeremie SC, Attorney-General of Trinidad and Tobago and with the Honourable Devesh Maharaj, Minister of Justice of Trinidad and Tobago.

Minister Wilkerson said the meetings provided a valuable opportunity to engage directly with regional justice leaders and to observe the work of an important Caribbean judicial institution.

“It was a privilege to visit the Caribbean Court of Justice and to meet with the Honourable Mr Justice Winston Anderson,” said Minister Wilkerson.

“The Court plays an important role in the region’s legal architecture and attending an in-person judgment delivery was a meaningful opportunity to see that work first-hand.”

Minister Wilkerson said the visit also allowed for productive discussions with her counterparts in Trinidad and Tobago.

“These meetings gave us an opportunity to exchange views on justice-sector priorities, institutional cooperation and the importance of maintaining effective legal systems across the region,” Minister Wilkerson noted.

“Bermuda benefits from remaining engaged with regional partners, particularly where we share common legal traditions, common challenges and a common interest in public confidence in the administration of justice.”

Minister Wilkerson added that such engagement supports Bermuda’s wider justice policy work and reinforces the importance of continued dialogue between Caribbean jurisdictions.

“Justice systems do not operate in isolation,” she said. “Regular engagement with regional counterparts allows us to share perspectives, learn from each other’s experiences and ensure Bermuda remains connected to the wider regional conversation on justice, governance and the rule of law.”
