On June 10, 2016, the Caribbean Court of Justice ruled in Maurice Tomlinson v. the State of Belize and the State of Trinidad and Tobago that homosexual CARICOM citizens enjoy full freedom of movement guaranteed under the Revised Treaty of Chaguaramas (RTC). According to the press release, Maurice Tomlinson, a citizen of Jamaica, had brought suit against Belize and Trinidad and Tobago, alleging that the two states violated their obligations under the RTC “because their respective Immigration Acts contained provisions which sought to prohibit homosexuals from entering the two States.” The Court noted that Belize’s laws contain only a limited prohibition relating to the performance of sexual services, while Trinidad and Tobago’s laws, which contain a more broadly worded “category of prohibited persons” including “homosexuals,” did not apply this law against CARICOM nationals in practice. The Court further pointed out that Tomlinson had “entered both territories in the past without hassle and that the existence of the legislation has not caused him to suffer any prejudice.” It found that “homosexual CARICOM nationals have a right to freedom of movement essentially on the same terms as any other CARICOM national” and that “the State practice of both Belize and Trinidad and Tobago is in keeping with that right.” Finally, the Court “cautioned that Member States should strive to ensure that national laws and administrative practices are consistent with the right of free movement of all CARICOM nationals,” and “emphasised that continuing inconsistency between administrative practices and the apparent meaning of legislation is an undesirable situation as the rule of law requires clarity and certainty.”
