All of Sir Ronald's commentaries up to 2 Janauary 2026 can be read in the "Commentaries" section of this website. The most recent one is entitled, "CARICOM at the Crossroads of Pressure"
... "CARICOM’s task is clear. The Community must move from coordination after the fact to planning in advance: shared risk assessment, early consultation and collective strategies that prevent external pressures from forcing unilateral decisions.
As 2026 begins, CARICOM faces a choice. It can treat each challenge as a national problem to be managed alone or recognise that the future resilience of the Caribbean depends on planning together, speaking with discipline and acting with foresight.
In a world where power is impatient and rules are applied unevenly, small states endure not by standing apart, but by standing together—clear-eyed about risks, prepared for change and united in purpose. That should be the work of every CARICOM government in the year ahead."
