The Caricom Standard is being flown at half-mast on the Ministerial Complex in Grenada as a mark of respect, following the assassination of Haitian President Jovenel Moise on Wednesday.
An emergency meeting of Caricom leaders on Wednesday afternoon agreed that “As a mark of respect, the Member States of the Community and the Caricom Secretariat will fly their national flags and the Caricom Standard at half-mast for 3 days beginning immediately, as well as on the day of the funeral.”
In keeping with this agreement, the national flag on all Government buildings are expected to be flown at half-mast for the stated period.
Caricom leaders, including Grenada’s Prime Minister Dr the Right Honourable Keith Mitchell, also expressed condolences to the family of the late President and the Government and People of Haiti.
Prior to the Caricom meeting, Dr Mitchell led his parliamentary colleagues in observing a minute of silence during the meeting of the House of Representatives.

Why is Caricom Honouring a Tyrant?
Yeah, its not good he was assasinated but he brought it on himself. Let it be a lesson for similar minded Politicians.
Can Caricom state what exactly was Honourable about this Tyrant?
When ever Law ends, Tyranny begins. John Locke …Treaties on Government 1689.
“199. As usurpation is the exercise of power which another hath a right to, so
tyranny is the exercise of power beyond right, which nobody can have a right to;
and this is making use of the power any one has in his hands, not for the good of those who are under it, but for his own private, separate advantage.
May be the truth will come out why he was assasinated but he certainly was no Saint.
