WASHINGTON, D.C. - Magistrate and Deputy Coroner Carolyn Vogt Evans and Ms. Kayla Green-Smith, Chief Counsel in the Office of the Bahamas Attorney General, paid a courtesy call on Mrs. Paulette Zonicle, Consul General of The Bahamas to Washington, D.C., at the Bahamas Embassy Consular Annex, 1025 Vermont Ave., N.W., on Wednesday, October 28, 2015.

They are in the United States attending an International Visitor Leadership Program entitled “The Hague Abduction Convention” sponsored by the U.S. Department of State, October 25 to November 4, 2015, in Washington, DC, Baltimore, MD and St. Louis, MO.

The objectives of the project covers the Hague Convention on Civil Aspects of International Child Abduction and related diplomatic efforts; understanding how U.S. Law enforcement investigates child abduction cases; governmental and non-governmental organizations that deal with child abuse, domestic violence, and outreach services to families; and to develop policies and procedures to make sure Hague Abduction Convention cases can be processed as justly and efficiently in The Bahamas.

The project focuses on how the Hague Abduction Convention is implemented in the United States and how that implementation can be translated for use in the Bahamian Legal System. Magistrate Constance Delancy is also a delegate, but was not at the courtesy call. Pictured from left to right are Magistrate Vogt Evans, Consul General Zonicle and Chief Counsel Green-Smith.
