It has come to light by the lawyer representing the owners of the vessel that was demolished by the United States coast guard in International waters represent a direct attack on our constitutional order. Since the advent of the racist president of the United States, Donald Trump, the foundation of international law is rattled by the unilateral acts of Donald Trump. Our Prime Minister, Andrew Holness,  symbiotic relationship with the president have put into question our Sovereignty and relationship within Caricom. The lawyer representing the four Jamaicans, Bert Samuels, stated that " Jamaica must be concerned that within our Economic Zone in the Caribbean Sea, a boat has been destroyed, literally emptying thousands of gallons of fuel, waste, and pollution into the sea endangering marine life. This act of lawlessness is unacceptable. We hold the US accountable to our citizens to explain why the destruction of a vessel was necessary and we hold Jamaica accountable to its citizens as to why it granted permission to do so" (Jamaica Gleaner,12/29/2020)
