Candidature for Commonwealth Secretary General

Around the issue of candidature for Commonwealth Secretary General, and each is deserving of an answer. Before looking in greater depth at the candidates and the candidacy process, let us begin by looking at how CARICOM treats with foreign policy. The Revised Treaty of Chaguaramas (RTC) aspires towards co-ordination of foreign policy where possible, and we understand this to include candidatures for positions in external forums, such as the Commonwealth. Notably, the treaty does not prescribe harmonisation of foreign policy as an obligation; instead, it provides for member states to establish measures to co-ordinate foreign policies as far as practicable, thereby recognising the sovereign right of each member state to make its own decisions.    –  Excerpt from the Jamaica Observer
