Caribbean Court of Justice
Strategic Plan 2013-2017
Responsive, Innovative, Inspirational
Message from the
President of the CCJ
To the Citizens of the Caribbean Community:
A
sound strategic concept is the foundation of every effective organisation. This is particularly essential for an organisation as unique as the Caribbean Court of Justice. The Court’s mandates are novel and its vision yet to be completely achieved. The complex needs and expectations of the signatory nations must be aligned in a single structure that consistently does justice in individual cases and is seen to do so by those it serves.
On behalf of the Caribbean Court of Justice, we are pleased to present
“Responsive, Innovative, Inspirational: The Caribbean Court of Justice
Strategic Plan, 2013-2017”. This Plan defines a strategic direction for the
Court over the next five years. It will guide court decision making over that time to ensure that our resources are applied in the most effective manner in achieving our Mission and Vision.
The plan identifies seven strategic issues upon which the Court will focus.
These issues reflect important problems and opportunities that must be addressed if we are to successfully accomplish our mission to provide the people of the region with “accessibility, fairness, efficiency, transparency and authoritative judicial decisions” while promoting the rule of law in the
Caribbean Community.

These issues are accompanied by a set of goals and strategies aimed at providing targeted guidance to court staff and performance information to court stakeholders. In addition, the plan identifies a set of priority actions that are both urgent and important, some of which are already being addressed.
While the plan was developed to include new strategic initiatives, many of the goals and actions included in the plan have been underway for some time. This plan will facilitate our efforts to coordinate and enhance ongoing initiatives
