The Framework & Recommendations of the Commission of Inquiry Report:
After a series of negotiations with the UK Government, the Government of National Unity proposed a Framework for Implementation of the Recommendations of the Commission of Inquiry Report and Other Reforms (the Framework). It offered a plan to implement three of the four pri mary recommendations, and all forty-five of the detailed recommendations, as well as other reforms. Crucially, this Framework proposed implementation without suspension of the Virgin Island’s Constitution. The UK Government agreed to this Framework with clear agreed timelines for the Government of the Virgin Islands to meet. It also proposed an Implementation Unit to support the delivery of the COI Report recommendations.
