Jamaica recognized Rastafarianism in law decades ago, St Kitts & Nevis not the first

The Jamaican government has pointed out that a claim by St Kitts and Nevis about being the first Caribbean country to recognise Rastafarianism in law is incorrect.

As reported by the St Kitts and Nevis information service, the government has been hailed for taking historic and transformative steps to recognize the Rastafarian faith within the legal framework of the federation, becoming the first country in the Caribbean to do so.

Prime Minister Dr. Terrance Drew made the declaration during his contribution in the national assembly last month as he reflected on the administration’s deliberate efforts to uphold constitutional rights and promote inclusivity.

When asked for a reaction today, Culture Minister Olivia Grange noted that while she welcomed the move by St Kitts and Nevis, that country is not the first to do so.

Ms Grange said Jamaica recognised Rastafari in the Charter of Fundamental Rights and Freedoms decades ago.
