The Caribbean Cen­tre for Hu­man Rights (CCHR) has an­nounced Féyi Cal­liste-Lemessy as its Le­gal Of­fi­cer – Sav­ings Law Clause.

Cal­liste-Lemessy will be based at CCHR’s head of­fice at Plaza de Mon­trose, Ch­agua­nas.

Her le­gal ca­reer has spanned sev­er­al roles in­clud­ing Ju­di­cial Re­search Coun­sel at the Ju­di­cia­ry of T&T where she pro­vid­ed crit­i­cal le­gal re­search and sup­port­ed ju­di­cial of­fi­cers in draft­ing judg­ments. She was al­so a Le­gal Con­sul­tant across the Caribbean of­fer­ing le­gal opin­ions, prepar­ing court ap­pli­ca­tions, and as­sist­ing se­nior con­sul­tants in in­tel­lec­tu­al prop­er­ty law.

Cal­liste-Lemessy was al­so a Gar­vey-Nkrumah Fel­low with AF­CA Providers of Glob­al So­lu­tions in the Unit­ed States where she deep­ened her knowl­edge of hu­man rights, in­ter­na­tion­al trade, and con­flict res­o­lu­tion through glob­al sem­i­nars and pan­el dis­cus­sions.

Up­on the an­nounce­ment on Mon­day morn­ing, she stat­ed, "I am hon­ored to join the Caribbean Cen­tre for Hu­man Rights and to con­tribute to its vi­tal mis­sion. This role aligns with my com­mit­ment to ad­vanc­ing hu­man rights and jus­tice through­out our re­gion. I look for­ward to work­ing close­ly with the team and stake­hold­ers to cre­ate mean­ing­ful change."

In a state­ment on Mon­day, CCHR ex­tend­ed its grat­i­tude to the Open So­ci­ety Foun­da­tion (OSF) for their "on­go­ing sup­port."
