Guyana government to introduce new legislation tackling regional crime in 2025

The Guyana government says new legislation will be introduced this year to address the growing issue of crime in the Caribbean.

It said that the effort is being spearheaded by several bodies, including the Guyana-based CARICOM Secretariat, the CARICOM Legal Affairs Committee, and the CARICOM Solicitor General Committee.

Attorney General and Minister of Legal Affairs, Anil Nandlall, SC, says crime has been identified as a critical priority by the CARICOM leaders and that the regional integration movement has officially declared crime a public health issue, recognising its profound economic and social impact across member states.
