T&T will attend the Commonwealth Law Ministers Meeting, which will be held in Zanzibar from March 4th to 8th 2024.

Held every two years, the meeting is a platform for collaboration among the 56 Commonwealth countries, which share a common legal tradition.

The theme of this year’s meeting is ‘Technology and Innovation: How digitalisation paves the way for the development of people-centred access to justice.’

Under this theme, law ministers will examine ethical ways to use technology to make legal services and information more accessible to people, while exploring responses to threats, such as cybercrime.

The range of topical legal issues will include: digital assets, electronic resources for efficient legal systems, access to justice for people with disabilities and developments in climate legislation.

The outcomes from the meeting will shape the agenda for the upcoming Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting in Samoa later this year.
