The Organization of American States (OAS) is among international organizations mourning the death of Oliver Jackman, the eminent Barbadian jurist, diplomat, author and journalist who had also served as his country’s Ambassador to the Washington-based hemispheric body. Jackman died in Barbados last week, following a period of illness. He was 77.
Secretary General José Miguel Insulza eulogized the former Barbadian diplomat, noting how Jackman “loomed unquestionably large among intellectual giants of Barbados, the Caribbean, the Americas and, indeed, the world.” He said that in such fields as international jurisprudence, human rights, diplomacy and political and social development, “Oliver Jackman brought a scrupulous intellectual integrity to bear on his work.”
In conveying condolences to Jackman’s widow Annie and family, friends and Barbadians as a whole, Insulza described the late newspaper columnist as “an extraordinary human being” whose enduring legacy “remains his influence on numerous public servants and ordinary citizens alike, many of whom considered him a great mentor because, to the very end, he was a man of unshakable fidelity to principle and to purpose.
“We remember him for his sterling contribution to his country’s foreign service, including in helping to build an enviable international respect for Barbados as a state where principle, democracy, human rights and the rule of law are well entrenched,” the OAS Secretary General said. “His contribution can be felt in many arenas, not the least being the OAS, where he was accredited as Barbados’ Ambassador from 1977 to 1981. We are mindful of his more recent service to the hemisphere, as a judge on the Inter-American Court of Human Rights, after his election in 1995 to a six year term.”
The OAS Secretary General also noted that Jackman has left “an indelible mark on the inter-American system, having demonstrated a particularly keen interest and concern in the area of human rights. As a judge on the Inter-American Court of Human Rights, Oliver Jackman remained uncompromising as a man who brought conscience to his endeavors—never afraid to defend principle.”
