Belize has become the latest CARICOM country to signal its intention to replace Britain's Queen Elizabeth as its head of state and adopt republican status.
The John Briceño government has informed the country that a People's Constitutional Commission, a newly established body under the Constitutional and Political Reform Ministry, will conduct consultations across the country on the continuing decolonization process.
Speaking in Parliament on Thursday, Constitutional & Political Reform Minister Henry Charles Usher told legislators that a Good Governance Unit has been established and will operate as the Secretariat to the Commission.
The announcement comes in the wake of Barbados last year joining Trinidad and Tobago, Dominica, Guyana, and Suriname as CARICOM countries with a republican constitution.
