Port of Spain, Trinidad and Tobago, 17 March 2026 -- From 14–18 March 2026, the Honourable Mr Justice Winston Anderson, President of the Caribbean Court of Justice (CCJ), visited Brasília, Brazil, at the invitation of the Honourable Mr Justice Rodrigo Mudrovitsch, President of the Inter-American Court of Human Rights (IACtHR). During the visit, President Anderson participated in a series of engagements hosted by the IACtHR during its 187th Ordinary Period of Sessions, held from 16–20 March 2026.
A key highlight of the visit occurred on 16 March 2026, when President Anderson formally signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the CCJ - whose original jurisdiction encompasses 12 Member States and approximately seven million people - and the IACtHR, which has jurisdiction over 20 States and nearly 600 million people.
This MOU was first discussed at the meeting between the two Presidents at the IACtHR in Costa Rica in January 2026. The MOU aims to strengthen cooperation between the two judicial institutions by promoting greater awareness of their respective mandates, procedures, and jurisprudence. It also establishes a framework for knowledge-sharing, collaboration, exchanges, and capacity?building initiatives designed to enhance the delivery of justice for the populations served by both courts.
The CCJ looks forward to deepening its engagement with regional and international judicial partners as part of its continued commitment to the rule of law and the protection of fundamental rights across the Caribbean.
