There is currently an impasse regarding the future seat of the Common Court of Justice for Curacao, Aruba, St. Maarten, and of Bonaire, St. Eustatius, and Saba. In the concept-consensus statutory law Common Court of Justice that was handled in the Island Council on Friday morning is stated that the seat of the Court will be in Curacao. Aruba is resisting this saying that she will not approve the consensus-statutory-law. She is of the opinion that considering the fact that the Land Aruba is much longer in existence than the new countries in the Kingdom, Aruba must get that seat.
According to Jesus-Leito, Curacao insists that the seat of the Common Court of Justice for Curacao, Aruba, St. Maarten, and of Bonaire, St. Eustatius, and Saba remains in Curacao. "Considering the fact that the current court is seated in Curacao for years already and that through the years we have built up the infrastructure and personnel, while also the Public Prosecutor is established here, we think that it is best for the Court to remain here in Curacao. We firmly back this position", says the commissioner, who doesn't expect this to be a stop for the current political process. "We do not consider this an issue."
