Questions are being raised about the value of the new Charter of Barbados.The matter came up during an online townhall meeting on Sunday evening, titled Constitutional Reform and the Republic: Perspectives of the Youth and hosted by the Faculty of Social Sciences at The University of the West Indies Cave Hill campus.Retired High Court judge Christopher Blackman was among those who shared their thoughts on the non-justiciability of the document that was approved by Parliament in November last year, less than a week before Barbados’ transition to a republic.The Charter of Barbados, while not legally binding, outlines citizens’ rights and responsibilities. It is premised on five articles, the first of which states that all Barbadians are born free and are equal in human dignity and rights.
