Derek Anand Ramsamooj is a Trinidadian political analyst and former consultant who gained notoriety due to his arrest and prolonged detention in Suriname amid allegations of corruption and fraud. His legal battle for the violation of his rights under the Caricom treaty culminated in a ruling by the Caribbean Court of Justice, which found that Suriname had breached his rights and ordered the state to compensate him with $30,000 for the infringement of his legal rights, including access to legal counsel during his detention.
