St Kitts and Nevis Reveals Revision of Laws
2010-04-06 16:05:44 by
Prime Minister Hon. Dr. Denzil L. Douglas announced that, after nearly 50 years, the laws of the twin-island Federation St Kitts and Nevis have been revised. The last revision took place in 1961.
He noted that it was in 2002, during the second term of his Labour Party Administration, that a commitment was made to consolidate, revise and publish a New Revised Edition of the Laws of St. Christopher and Nevis.
Douglas said that St. Kitts and Nevis will be one of the few Caribbean territories boasting a modernized set of laws with mechanisms and systems in place to continuously update and revise the laws in the future. The launch of the New Revised Edition of laws today will put an end to the frustration, uncertainty and difficulties in ascertaining the true and current state of the law.
?This project has in effect laid down the necessary foundation upon which our democratic institutions will be further strengthened,? said Prime Minister Douglas.
