The Caribbean Community


The Caribbean Community (CARICOM) has become unofficially multilingual in practice with the addition of Dutch-speaking Suriname on July 4, 1995 and Haiti, where French and Haitian Creole are spoken, on July 2, 2002.

In 2001, the heads of government signed a Revised Treaty of Chaguaramas thus clearing the way for the transformation of the Common Market aspect of CARICOM. Part of the revised treaty includes the establishment and implementation of the Caribbean Court of Justice.

Now look at South America they went to become a one nation pan-con super state just like the EU. Asia has even put up plans to make them self one. Africa has already a weak African union. Any one that had a common sense could see whats going on. The question is is it a good idea? Which lays in the freedom and power it gives its people.
