Treaty of Chaguaramas

The Treaty of Chaguaramas, signed in 1973, established the Caribbean Community (CARICOM), a regional organization aimed at promoting economic integration, cooperation, and development among its member states in the Caribbean. The treaty seeks to enhance trade, improve living conditions, and coordinate policies in areas like agriculture, culture, and education. By fostering closer ties, CARICOM aims to strengthen regional identity and resilience against global challenges. Over the years, it has expanded to include various initiatives, including the Caribbean Single Market and Economy, which facilitates free movement of goods, services, and people among member countries.
