Responsibilities

The Rule of Law (RoL) is a key pre-requisite to investment attraction and a welcoming business environment. Countries that display a commitment to the RoL often have high levels of economic freedom, social mobility and economic growth.

The AMCHAM T&T Rule of Law Committee’s main areas of focus will initially be on programmes and advocacy to enhance:

• Enforcement of contracts
• Reduce and prosecute white-collar crime (including corruption)
• Use of technology to enhance transparency
• Criminal Justice reform
• Prison reform
• Youth crime prevention/anti-gang intervention

The committee will be Chaired by Mr. Clive Fletcher, Managing Director at Unicomer (Trinidad) Ltd. and will include representatives from the U.S. Embassy in T&T, The T&T Transparency Institute, and the Law Association of Trinidad and Tobago. It will be tasked to determine potential programmes that can be undertaken that will result in national improvement in the above-mentioned areas as well as key matters for advocacy by AMCHAM T&T.
