Caribbean Court of Justice Upholds Rule of Law in Extradition Case

The Caribbean Court of Justice (CCJ) ruled that the extradition proceedings involving Azruddin Mohamed and Nasar Mohamed must adhere to lawful procedures, emphasizing the separation of powers between government and judiciary. The court did not determine guilt or the final destination of the extradition, but clarified that courts must assess whether evidence and legal requirements justify further steps.

The decision is described as a defining moment for Caribbean democracy, reinforcing that political authority must answer to law. It has particular relevance for Guyana and other small Caribbean states, highlighting the importance of independent institutions in upholding justice and public confidence.
