I would say preliminarily that this is a right busy time up here. All the committees are meeting, trying to finish up whatever bills they can before adjournment, sine die, as Senator Byrd refers to it.

Madam Attorney General, we are so glad to welcome you here this morning, and I am glad that your first appearance before this Committee this morning is the first time in 9 years that any Attorney General has appeared before the Foreign Relations Committee. So, that makes it a double pleasure to work with you. The last time, by the way, for anybody taking notes, was 1989 when Dick Thornburgh visited this committee.

Madam Attorney General, your coming here this morning to discuss the growing problem of international parental kidnapping is a very good measurement of your personal interest in this matter.

Following your testimony, the committee will hear from a number of parents, each of whom will have heartbreaking stories about how their former spouses unlawfully took their children to foreign countries and about the subsequent search to find and seek the return of those children. I was surprised to learn, by the way, that these children were taken not to the closed societies of the Middle East, but to European countries with democratic and open societies.

Now, the parents who will testify today will describe many long and expensive court battles in efforts to get their children back. For example, they will tell stories of hiring lawyers in foreign courts that favor their own citizens despite the existing treaty requirements that the children be returned, stories of futile or insufficient diplomatic efforts by the United States, and stories of the failure by the United States to issue arrest warrants or seek extradition of the former spouses who unlawfully spirited the children away.

But it needs to be emphasized, I think, that this frustration with the existing process is not uniquely American. Our committee will hear today from a well-known British citizen, the wife of the British Ambassador to the United States, Lady Catherine Meyer. Lady Meyer has spent the past several years seeking the return of her sons from their father in Germany.

It would be an ideal circumstance, Madam Attorney General, if we could have you sitting side-by-side with the distinguished Secretary of State discussing how the United States can better respond to the thousands of cases of international parental kidnapping every year.

The question, of course, is what exactly is the problem? For many years in the United States, the kidnapping of a child by a parent was considered a family matter, not a criminal matter. Today, all 50 States do have criminal statutes that require the return of any child taken across a State line by a parent.

During this hearing, parents are going to recite how the process breaks down when a child is taken across foreign borders. The Hague Convention on the Civil Aspects of International Child Abduction requires that children be returned to the habitual resident from which the child was taken. Each year -- and you will amplify on this -- U.S. Courts send an estimated 90 percent of kidnapped children back to foreign countries, but that statistic for returns to this country is not nearly as perfect. Only some 30 percent of kidnapped children are returned to the United States.

Parents have reported to me the failure by the United States to initiate vigorously diplomatic and law enforcement tools seeking the return of their children. These parents report a sense of frustration -- and I can understand that -- with the obviously low priority placed on the return of abducted children compared to other diplomatic relations.

Unfortunately, in most cases the kidnapping parents often flee U.S. borders with the children before law enforcement officers are even made aware of the unlawful act. Even in instances where local law enforcement is brought in, officers often are not aware of the process of tracking the kidnapper parent at the international level.

The next step of issuing international arrest warrants for or requesting the extradition of the kidnapping parent can become a maze of bureaucracy for parents and local law enforcement officials. Even when they succeed in persuading the Justice Department to seek extradition, the State Department may very well refuse to go forward with the request.

In one case documented by the United States Information Agency (USIA) Crime Alert Program, one United States mother, whose son was abducted by her ex-husband to Prague in the Czech Republic, had a Federal arrest warrant sworn against her ex- husband. She made repeated efforts to have the FBI contact the U.S. embassy and the Czech authorities to carry out the warrant. Then, after months of no response by the FBI, the mother left her job and went to Prague, and in short order, she learned that her ex-husband and son indeed had been in Prague and had recently left on passports renewed by the State Department. The State Department claimed to have had no knowledge of the warrant or the kidnapping.

These are the kinds of cases that should not occur and reflect a breakdown in coordination. So, I hope that you and I, as well as the Secretary of State -- and I think Madeleine will work with us -- can agree to work with this committee to coordinate better diplomatic and law enforcement efforts to assist parents seeking the return of their children. U.S. efforts to return kidnapped children who are brought to the United States are admirable and must be supported, but that same degree of proficiency and coordination must be brought to the return of children. There is no excuse for countries like Sweden, Austria, and Germany to violate existing treaty obligations that require the return of children.

I have devoted more time than I intended to my opening statement, but in closing I believe it is appropriate that I share with you an excerpt of one of hundreds of sad letters I receive every year. This one is written to me by James Rinaman, who is a lawyer for the U.S. Army and a father from your home State of Florida. He has been battling the German legal system unsuccessfully since 1996 to gain the return of his child. He wrote to me as follows, and I am quoting him from now on. My mother raised four children, educated them, and loves my daughter as her first grandchild. She is tortured by a complete lack of information about my daughter, and wakes up in the night to write letters on her computer to save and give to my daughter. My parents are now in their sixties. They expected to live a peaceful, contented life. You might expect such a glued together outfit would be able to resolve the problem of my daughter's abduction. Instead, the law has failed us. Our government has been unable to offer any resolution. We have never felt so powerless. For a Government like Germany to scoff at an agreement they entered into should be viewed for what it is, a slap in the face. This is something to be expected from Third World countries, and we expect to have to deal with them as such. Now, these sentiments, I think, speak for many other parents seeking assistance from the U.S. Government in the return of their children.

Thank you Madam Attorney General, for being with us this morning. I am glad to see your first appearance before the Foreign Relations Committee and the first time in nine years that an Attorney General has appeared before this Committee. That was in 1989 when Attorney General Richard Thornburgh visited us.

Following your testimony, the Committee will then hear from a number of parents, each of whom will have heartbreaking stories about how their former spouses unlawfully took their children to foreign countries, and about the subsequent search to find and seek the return of their children. I was surprised to learn that these children were taken not to the closed societies of the Middle East, but to European countries with democratic and open societies.

The parents testifying today will describe many long and expensive court baffles in efforts to get their children back. For example, stories of hiring lawyers in foreign courts that favor their own citizens despite the existing treaty requirement that the children be returned; stories of futile or insufficient diplomatic efforts by the United States; and stories of the failure by the United States to issue arrest warrants or seek extradition of the former spouses who unlawfully spirited the children away.

But it needs to be emphasized that this frustration with the existing process is not uniquely American. Our Committee will hear testimony today from a well-known British citizen -- the wife of the British Ambassador to the United States, Lady Catherine Meyer. Lady Meyer has spent the past several years seeking the return of her sons from their father in Germany.

The question, of course, is what exactly is the problem? For many years in the United States, the kidnaping of a child by a parent was considered a family matter -- not a criminal matter. Today, all fifty states have criminal statutes that require the return of any child taken across state lines by a parent.

During this hearing, parents will recount how this process breaks down when a child is taken across foreign borders. The Hague Convention on the Civil Aspects of International Child Abduction requires that children be returned to the habitual residence from where the child was taken. Each year U.S. courts send an estimated 90 percent of kidnaped children back to foreign countries. The statistics for returns to this country are not nearly as perfect. Only some 30 percent of kidnaped children are returned to the United States.

Parents have reported to me a failure by the United States to initiate vigorously diplomatic and law enforcement tools seeking the return of their children. These parents report a sense of frustration with the obviously low priority placed on the return of abducted children, compared to other diplomatic relations.

Unforunately, in most cases the kidnaping parents often flee U.S. borders with the children before law enforcement officers are even made aware of the unlawful act. Even in instances where local law enforcement is brought in, officers often are not aware of the process of tracking the kidnapper parent at the international level.

The next step of issuing international arrest warrants for, or requesting the extradition of; the kidnaping parent can become a maze of bureaucracy for parents and local law enforcement officials. And even when they succeed in persuading the Justice Department to seek extradition, the State Department may refuse to go forward with the request.

In one case documented by the USIA Crime Alert Program, one U.S. mother -- whose son was abducted by her ex-husband to Prague in the Czech Republic -- had a federal arrest warrant sworn against her ex-husband. She made repeated efforts to have the FBI contact the U.S. embassy and the Czech authorities to carry out the warrant.

After months of no response by the FBI, the mother left her job and went to Prague. In short order she learned that her ex-husband and son had indeed been in Prague and had recently left -- on passports renewed by the State Department! The State Department claimed to have had no knowledge of the warrant or the kidnaping.

These are the kinds of cases, Madam Attorney General, that should not occur and reflect a breakdown in coordination. I hope that you and I, as well as the Secretary of State, can agree to work with this Committee to coordinate better diplomatic and law enforcement efforts to assist parents seeking the return of their children. U.S. efforts to return kidnaped children who are brought to the United States are admirable, and must be supported. But that same degree of proficiency and coordination must be brought to the return of children. There is no excuse for countries like Sweden, Austria, and Germany to violate existing treaty obligations that require the return of children.

In closing, I believe it appropriate that I share with you an excerpt of one of hundreds of sad letters I receive each year on this subject. This one is written to me by James Rinaman, who is a lawyer for the U.S. army, and a father from your home state of Florida. He has been battling the German legal system unsuccessfully since 1996 to gain the return of his child. He wrote to me as follows:

"My mother raised four children, educated them, and loves my daughter as her first grandchild. She is tortured by a complete lack of information about my daughter, and wakes up in the night to write letters on her computer to save and give to my daughter. My parents are now in their sixties. They expected to live a peaceful, contented life. You might expect such a glued together outfit would be able to resolve the problem of my daughter's abduction. Instead, the law has failed us. Our government has been unable to offer any resolution. We have never felt so powerless . . . .For a Government like Germany to scoff at an agreement they entered into should be seen as a slap in the face. This is something to be expected from third world countries, and we expect to have to deal with them as such."

These sentiments, I suspect, speak for many other parents seeking assistance from the U.S. Government in the return of their children.

I just want to tell you, as I told you before, how much I appreciate your focus on this issue. I think this is one of the most troubling issues that I know, whether it be a domestic matter or something on an international scale. Your willingness to take the time to focus on this issue I think means so much. I would like to work with you and your staff in the months ahead to continue to address the problem and not just make it a one-shot appearance before the committee.

Attorney General Reno. I would also like to thank you, Mr. Chairman, for bringing on for hearing the many important law enforcement treaties. We believe that these treaties will serve critical United States law enforcement interests through the extradition and mutual legal assistance mechanisms that they establish. I understand that we have one more question to answer and we will get that back to you just as soon as possible, and I hope that they can be ratified shortly.

Attorney General Reno. As I indicated, some of the most difficult, heartbreaking, and just wrenching cases that I know are child custody cases. As a lawyer in Miami, as the State Attorney in Miami, I dealt with these cases, and I put a lot of emphasis on them. Even then, I sometimes could not get justice done. There is nothing more heartbreaking than to have to tell a parent that you cannot do anything more under the law.

When there is a kidnapping involved, that makes it all the more difficult, and when it is on an international scale, it is an even more difficult task because we have factors to consider which we may not be able to control due to the sovereignty of the foreign state.

In a domestic abduction, as you well know, Mr. Chairman, the civil orders regarding custody are now granted by law full faith and credit from State to State. Moreover, State and Federal criminal warrants reach across our interstate boundaries.

But in the international arena, custody orders entered by State courts in the United States are not enforceable outside the United States. Furthermore, State or Federal criminal warrants reach only as far as our extradition treaties take us and as far as the domestic law of our extradition treaty partner permits. In both civil and criminal process in these international abductions, as in many matters that exceed our borders, the reach of the United States is ultimately limited by decisions of separate sovereign states and their independent judiciaries.

Although the Department of Justice does not play a direct role in the civil mechanisms for the recovery of children internationally, we are deeply concerned about this problem and how we can best support the Department of State which has the lead in recovering abducted children.

Now, two mechanisms apply in cases of parental abduction: As you have pointed out, the Hague Convention or other civil means for recovery of the child, and the second, of course, are the criminal statutes for prosecution of the offender. But as I learned full well from my experience as State Attorney, bringing charges and even successfully completing the charges so that I get a conviction, does not mean that I am going to get the child back too.

The United States has long been a leader in creating mechanisms for the retrieval of children abducted internationally. The United States and Canada were instrumental in the negotiation of the convention on the civil aspects of international child abduction done at the Hague October 25th, 1980. This Hague Convention provides for the return of a child abducted internationally by his or her parent pursuant to an application by the left-behind parent and a subsequent civil lawsuit filed in the country where the child is located.

According to the convention, a Hague proceeding does not decide custody. Instead, it should, in most cases, result in an order for the return of the child so that the parents may pursue the resolution of custody in the best interests of the child in a civil court located where the child resided prior to the abduction. In the first 10 years of its operation, proceedings under the Hague Convention have resulted, I am told, in the return of over 2,000 children to the United States. Today 50 countries are party to the convention.

Furthermore, the Department of Justice substantially funds the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. It is called sometimes NCMEC and sometimes the National Center, and it does wonderful work for parents and for children in this country. NCMEC, under a cooperative agreement with the Department of States, performs certain functions regarding children who are brought into the United States after having been abducted.

While the Hague Convention has facilitated the return of many children and while it is a vast improvement over the lack of any international instrument whatsoever, it does not guarantee a satisfactory result in every case. Implementation of the convention varies among foreign jurisdictions. It depends sometimes just on the court in the foreign country. Even in cases in which a left-behind parent has timely filed the application, hired legal counsel, and literally done everything exactly right, that parent and our Government cannot be assured that we can get that child back.

As a prosecutor, I have had the experience of a judge or a jury returning a decision that I thought was totally wrong, and I know the frustration. In these Hague cases as well, there are some decisions which we think and know are wrong. Ultimately these decisions, both in the United States and abroad, are made by independent judiciaries in independent sovereign states.

That reality, however, offers little comfort to the parent who is seeking to recover the child. Sometimes they cannot locate the child. Sometimes they are frustrated by the court. In any instance it is an agonizing situation.

The Department of Justice will continue to work with the Department of State in any way it can to support efforts under the Hague Convention. Further, in countries that are not party to the Hague Convention, we will try to assist in locating the child and providing whatever support we can.

The terms "parental kidnapping" and "parental abduction" have come to encompass a variety of scenarios involving separation between a child and a left-behind parent or other person with custodial interests. The fact patterns range from a wrongful retention or overstay of lawful visitation or custody to an impulsive taking or to a kidnapping involving premeditated fraud or violence. Often, particularly in wrongful retentions or overstays, the whereabouts of the parent and child are known. Other cases involve layers of false identification, false passports, and a helpful underground.

The Department of Justice is charged with the investigation and prosecution of crimes under the International Parental Kidnaping Crime Act of 1993. We are involved in the location and apprehension of abducting parents charged with State or local offenses who are also subject of a Federal warrant for unlawful flight to avoid prosecution, and with the Department of State, we are responsible for securing the extradition of offenders charged under either State or Federal law.

Most parental kidnapping or interference with custody cases are charged under State law. By comparison, the number of Federal prosecutions involving these offenses is much smaller. At this time, our U.S. Attorneys' offices have 26 open cases involving parental kidnapping and 66 matters pending investigation, the FBI reports having opened 260 cases under the act since its enactment in 1993. In addition, from 1994 to 1998, the FBI opened over 800 cases to assist in locating abductors charged under State and local statutes.

As I mentioned at the outset, I want to make clear that criminal prosecution and the apprehension of the abductor does not necessarily result in the recovery of the child. Indeed, the Congress also recognized that one of the facts that should be considered when determining how to proceed, was that the procedure under the Hague Convention should be the option of first choice for a parent who seeks the return of a child.

Now, two recent Federal cases illustrate the point that I am trying to make. In both the Al-Ahmad prosecution in the District of Colorado and the Amer prosecution in the Eastern District of New York, Federal prosecutors apprehended and obtained convictions against the abducting parent. However, in both cases, the children remain in the Middle East with extended family while the abductor serves the sentence imposed. Again, in both these cases, the Department of State endeavors to ascertain the welfare and whereabouts of the child and to assist the parent in making sure that the child is OK, but it is not a perfect solution.

Problems with extradition may be another reason that criminal cases are not pursued. Extradition is not an option in all parental kidnapping cases. Many older "list" style extradition treaties, treaties from an era when abduction of a child by his or her parent was not recognized as a crime, as you noted earlier, are not interpreted to encompass this offense. Further, some countries will not extradite their nationals. Finally, some countries do not recognize such abduction as a crime at all.

With the help of this committee, we can make some real progress I think in addressing these problems. The extradition treaties pending before the committee will allow extradition for parental kidnapping whenever both countries recognize the offense as a crime. This committee -- and I thank you for it -- also took the lead in crafting legislation, Senate 1266, to address the problem of the limited interpretation of terms under the older "list" treaties. We appreciate your continued support in ensuring that our extradition treaties will encompass the offense of parental kidnapping to the fullest extent possible.

But in addition to enforcement efforts, the Department of Justice is supporting the recovery of children internationally on a program basis. Our Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention, which we call OJJDP, serves a larger agenda involving the welfare of missing and exploited children. As I previously noted, the Department of Justice funds many activities of the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. These activities include training law enforcement, prosecutors, and judges on domestic missing children cases, research projects, and the distribution of information regarding the prevention and response to parental abductions.

In addition, OJJDP and our Office for Victims of Crime have established a fund to assist parents with travel costs when they recover their children. These funds are administered by OJJDP in coordination with the National Center. Beginning this year, a representative of the Office for Victims of Crime will be physically located at the Department of State to assist that Department with United States citizens who are victims of crime overseas, including these children who are the victims of an international parent kidnapping. But, Mr. Chairman, I am the first person to tell you, as I told you at the outset, that there is much more to do.

In June 1997, OJJDP, in conjunction with the National Center, held a parents focus group to identify issues and needs in this area. I have found from long ago that it is far better to listen to the people who have to struggle with the system rather than to think that we know it all. We obtained input and recommendation from State and local law enforcement agencies to improve the handling and response to international abduction through a number of research efforts.

Based on this, in January 1998, we created an interagency committee to specifically focus on international parental kidnapping and how we can better respond to the victims in these cases, both the left-behind parent and the child. The committee has and is receiving input from Federal, State, and local law enforcement agencies in order to make recommendations to improve the services and system response to parents. As part of this effort, committee members have participated in additional parent focus groups, attended working group meetings, and listened directly to the questions and the needs of left-behind parents. The work of this committee is ongoing. It is addressing the full range of issues from efforts to educate lawyers, prosecutors, law enforcement, and judges on the Hague Convention and on international child abduction cases through detection and recovery, to prosecution and punishment. The interchange to date has helped in coordination of the many agencies which may need to be involved in any given case.

Among the many issues we are addressing is the functioning of the Hague Convention. While all agree that this treaty is a valuable tool, we are committed to making sure it works even more effectively. This task rests primarily with the State Department, but the Justice Department can and will assist.

First, ways in which the Justice Department through OJC and OJJDP can expand outreach and education programs to prosecutors, judges, and social services on international parental kidnapping. The police officer in Miami does not know what to do when a parent calls. The prosecutor gets confused where they go from the Department of Justice to the State Department. We have got to make sure that we get the message out in clear and concise ways.

Fourth, together with the State Department, we will be reviewing how best to focus our efforts abroad. Over half of all family abductions are to countries not party to the Hague Convention. We need to consider whether there are other countries we should encourage to join the convention. United States law enforcement officials located overseas, particularly our FBI legal attaches, can help to emphasize to their foreign colleagues the seriousness with which the United States takes these cases and the need for effective responses to locating the children and the abducting parents.

The fifth report that I expect is what can we do in terms of preventing the problem in the first place. I would like to hear from people as to how -- and I expect the committee has already heard information on how -- foreign courts take a State order and construe it one way when, if the order had been framed in a certain way, we might have had a stronger case before that foreign court.

Most importantly, we had an experience this year that I think will serve us well here. Through the National Center, we developed what we called a Family Survival Guide for Parents of Missing Children. I got to know a number of parents whose children were missing and some were recovered. Some were tragically found dead. This was not in the international kidnapping context. I listened to them and I thought we can do so much, but people were a step ahead of me. They were already involving these parents in developing a manual of questions and answers and feelings and recommendations as to how parents cope. This Family Survival Guide for Parents of Missing Children became probably the most popular publication the Department of Justice has ever put out.

I would like to work with the State Department, with parents, with State and local law enforcement to review what has been done by the State Department and to publish an international parental abduction guide that involves the parents and see if we cannot get this out in a way that can be readily available on the Internet, at police departments, in prosecutors offices, at local libraries. The first effort with missing children was successful, and I think that this will be very important.

Secretary Albright and I have already talked, and we have asked our senior policy staff to review several policy issues regarding international child abduction. One issue we want to review, together with OMB, is the level of resources we can and should be devoting to these cases. They are critically important cases, and we have got to address the issue.

We also need to explore making better use of diplomatic initiatives and how we at Justice can support State in these efforts. But one thing I have learned, when the judge rules, the diplomat often has their hands tied, and so we have got again to recognize that there is no perfect solution to the problem.

We need to review at a senior level the recommendations made by the committee to us about what the role of the National Center should be. Perhaps the National Center can do more in terms of assisting. How can we work together to achieve that? Because they have done so much in terms of dealing with children coming into the United States.

We are committed to doing everything that we can and we would like to work with the committee to do it. I would only say the most wonderful cases in the world are when the child comes home. The saddest cases are when you cannot get the child home. There is no perfect answer, but I will work with you every way I can to make sure that we have done all that can be expected of us to do the right thing.

I would also like to thank you, Mr. Chairman, and the members of the committee for going forward on the recent hearing regarding the many important law enforcement treaties pending before you. We believe that these treaties will serve critical United States law enforcement interests through the extradition and mutual legal assistance mechanisms they establish. Many of those treaties can also serve us in the topic before you today, the international abduction of a child by his or her parent. I understand the State Department has transmitted the answers to your follow-up questions, and we hope that the Senate will ratify these treaties as soon as possible.

Some of the most difficult and critical cases our legal system faces are those involving the custody and welfare of a child. When a parent takes the drastic measure of removing a child away from the other parent, the cases become more complex and heartbreaking.

Addressing these matters in the international arena is usually an even more difficult task because we have factors to consider which we may not be able to control, due to the sovereignty of foreign states. In a domestic abduction of a child by his or her parent, civil orders regarding custody are now by law granted full faith and credit from state to state. Moreover, State and Federal criminal warrants reach across our interstate boundaries.

In the international arena, custody orders entered by State courts in the United States are not enforceable outside of the United States furthermore, State or Federal criminal warrants reach only as far as our extradition treaties take us and as far as the domestic law of our extradition treaty partner permits. In both civil and criminal process in these international abductions, as in many matters that exceed our borders, the reach of the United States is ultimately limited by decisions of separate sovereign states and their independent judiciaries.

Although the Department of Justice does not play a direct role in the civil mechanisms for the recovery of children internationally, we are deeply concerned about this problem and how we can best support the Department of State, which has the lead in recovering abducted children. Thus I want to say a few words about the civil mechanisms for child recovery, before moving to the Justice Department's enforcement and programmatic role in international abduction cases. ii. civil recovery

The United States has long been a leader in creating mechanisms for the retrieval of children abducted internationally. The United States and Canada were instrumental in the negotiation of the convention on the civil aspects of international child abduction, done at the Hague, October 25, 1980 ("Hague Convention".) This "Hague Convention" provides for the return of a child abducted internationally by his or her parent, pursuant to an application by the left-behind parent and a subsequent civil lawsuit filed in the country where the child is located.

According to the convention, a "Hague proceeding" does not decide custody; instead, it should, in most cases, result in an order for the "return" of the child so that the parents may pursue the resolution of custody and the best interests of the child in a civil court located where the child resided prior to the abduction. In the first ten years of its operation, proceedings under the Hague Convention have resulted in the return of over 2000 children to the United States. Today, 50 countries are party to the convention.

The Department of State's Office of Children's Issues is the United States' central authority for the administration of the Hague Convention. The Department of Justice supports this office in its role as the central authority, and coordinates with it when a case has both civil and criminal aspects. Further, the Department of Justice substantially funds the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children ("NCMEC" or "The National Center"). The National Center, under a cooperative agreement with the Department of State, performs certain functions regarding cases of children "abducted to" the United States.

While the Hague Convention has facilitated the return of many children to the United States, and while it is a vast improvement over the lack of any international instrument whatsoever, it does not guarantee a satisfactory result in every case for every parent. Implementation of the convention varies among foreign jurisdictions. Even in cases in which a left-behind parent has timely filed an application, hired legal counsel, and literally done everything "right," that parent, and the United States, may be bitterly disappointed with the result in a particular case.

As a prosecutor, I have had the experience of a judge or jury returning a decision with which I did not agree, which I believed was the wrong decision. In these Hague cases, as well, there may be some decisions which we think are wrong. Ultimately these decisions, both in the United States and abroad, are made by independent judiciaries in independent sovereign states.

That reality, however, offers little comfort to the left-behind parents who have suffered the frustration and anguish of losing contact with a beloved child -- either in situations in which the whereabouts of the child are unknown, or in situations in which the whereabouts are known, but access is limited or denied entirely. My heart goes out to those parents.

The Department of Justice will continue to work with the Department of State in any way it can to support efforts under the Hague Convention. Further, in countries that are not party to the Hague Convention, our resources are, there too, committed to assist these children and the left-behind United States parents. iii. justice efforts; criminal processes and extradition; justice programs

The terms "parental kidnaping" and "parental abduction" have come to encompass a variety of scenarios involving separation between a child and a left-behind parent or other person with custodial interests. The fact patterns range from a "wrongful retention" or "overstay" of lawful visitation or custody, to an impulsive taking, to a kidnaping involving premeditated fraud or violence. Often, particularly in wrongful retentions or overstays, the whereabouts of the parent and child are known; other cases involve layers of false identification, false passports and a helpful "underground."

In addressing these cases of parental abduction, two mechanisms can be called upon for two separate but related ends: First, the Hague Convention or other civil means for recovery of the child; and, second, criminal statutes for prosecution of the offender.

The Department of Justice can have a more direct role on the criminal side. We are the agency charged with the investigation and prosecution of crimes under the International Parental Kidnaping Crime Act of 1993 (IPKCA); we are involved in the location and apprehension of abducting parents charged with State or local offenses who are also subject of a Federal warrant for unlawful flight to avoid prosecution; and, with the Department of State, we are responsible for securing the extradition of offenders charged under either State or Federal law.

Most parental kidnaping or interference with custody cases are charged under State law. By comparison, the number of Federal prosecutions involving these offenses is much smaller. At this time, our United States Attorneys' Offices have 26 open cases involving parental kidnaping and 66 matters pending investigation. The FBI reports having opened 260 cases under the Federal International Parental Kidnaping Crime Act (IPKCA) since its enactment in 1993 in addition, from 1994 to 1998, the FBI opened over 800 cases to assist in locating abductors charged under State and local statutes.

I want to make clear that the criminal prosecution and apprehension of any abductor does not necessarily result in the recovery of the child. Indeed, the Congress, when it enacted the Federal Parental Kidnaping Statute, noted that the Hague Convention ought to remain the preferred means for child recovery.

Two recent Federal cases illustrate this point. In both the Al- Ahmad prosecution in the District of Colorado and the Amer prosecution in the Eastern District of New York, Federal prosecutors apprehended and obtained convictions against the abducting parent. However, in both cases, the children remain in the middle east with extended family while the abductor serves the sentence imposed. Again, in both these cases, the Department of State endeavors to ascertain the welfare and whereabouts of the children and to assist those left behind.

Problems with extradition may be another reason that criminal cases are not pursued. Extradition is not an option in all parental kidnaping cases. Many older "list" style extradition treaties -- treaties from an era when abduction of a child by his or her parent was not recognized as a crime -- are not interpreted to encompass this offense. Further, some countries will not extradite their nationals. Finally, some countries do not recognize such an abduction as a crime at all.

With the help of this committee, we can make progress in addressing these problems. The extradition treaties pending before the committee will allow for extradition for parental kidnaping whenever both countries recognize the offense as a crime. This committee also took the lead in crafting legislation -- S.1266 -- to address the problem of the limited interpretation of terms under our older "list" treaties. We appreciate your continued support in ensuring that our extradition treaties will encompass the offense of parental kidnaping to the fullest extent possible.

In addition to enforcement efforts, the Department of Justice supports the recovery of children internationally on a programmatic basis. Our Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention, known as OJJDP, serves a larger agenda involving the welfare of missing and exploited children, including funding many activities of the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. OJJDP funds training of law enforcement, prosecutors, and judges on domestic missing children cases, research projects, and the distribution of information regarding the prevention of and response to parental abductions.

In addition, OJJDP and the Office for Victims of Crime have established a fund to assist parents with travel costs when they recover their children. These funds are administered by OJJDP in coordination with the National Center and the Office of Children's Issues. Beginning this year, a representative of the office of victims of crime will be physically located at the Department of State, to assist that Department with United States citizens who are victims of crime overseas, including these children. iv. interagency efforts

Mr. Chairman, we have been working hard to address concerns in this area. In June 1997, OJJDP in conjunction with the National Center held a parents focus group to identify issues and needs in this area. We obtained input and recommendations from State and local law enforcement agencies to improve the handling and response to international abduction cases through a number of research, training, and technical assistance efforts.

In January 1998, we also created an interagency committee to specifically focus on international parental kidnaping and how we can better respond to the victims in these cases, both the left-behind parent and the abducted child. The committee has received input from Federal, State, and local law enforcement agencies in order to make recommendations to improve the services and system response to parents. As part of this effort committee members have participated in parent focus groups, attended working group meetings, and listened directly to the questions and needs of left-behind parents. The work of this interagency committee is ongoing and is addressing the full range of issues, from efforts to educate lawyers, prosecutors, law enforcement and judges on the Hague Convention and international child abduction cases, through detection and recovery, to prosecution and punishment. The interchange to date has helped in coordination of the many agencies -- local, State, and Federal -- which may need to be involved in any given case. A report on the committee's activities and recommendations to improve services and response to parents affected by international abductions is expected after the first of next year.

Therefore, I will be asking through the interagency committee that OJJDP, the Department of State, and other entities, review the valuable international parental child abduction guide recently re-issued by the Department of State. The goal of this review is to ensure that in its next publication it is more user friendly and includes information provided by the parents themselves. I will also ask the committee to explore ways to increase the circulation of this guide. I have learned how valuable this type of information can be to desperate parents. OJJDP's family survival guide for parents of missing children, because of its content, has been one of the most popular documents ever produced by the Department of Justice. The International Parental Child Abduction Guide, jointly produced by the Justice and State Departments, in conjunction with parents, Federal, State and local law enforcement agencies, and other organizations concerned with missing children, can be a vital resource for a parent whose child has been removed from the United States. v. areas for renewed efforts

Among the many issues we are addressing is the functioning of the Hague Convention. While all agree that this treaty is a valuable tool for the recovery of children, we are committed to making sure it works even more effectively. This task rests primarily with the Department of State. However, the Justice Department can assist in the education and training of law enforcement agents, prosecutors, practitioners and judges, all of whom must become more familiar with the Hague Convention. The Office of Justice Programs and OJJDP are examining how we could expand outreach and education programs to train law enforcement, prosecutors, judges, and social services on international parental kidnaping.

Together with the Department of State, we are reviewing how best to focus our efforts abroad. Over half of all family abductions are to countries not party to the Hague Convention. We need to consider whether there are other countries we should encourage to join the convention. United States law enforcement officials located overseas, particularly our FBI legal attaches, can help to emphasize to their foreign colleagues the seriousness with which the United States takes these cases, and the need for effective responses in locating the children and the abducting parents.

Another area for attention is prevention. Efforts made in the State and local jurisdictions as to the type of orders entered regarding custody, the dissemination of information regarding legal and practical steps to help prevent abductions, as well as additional measures, such as surrender to the family court of both U.S. and foreign travel documents for the children, will well serve as a deterrent to these abductions.

Also, we need to manage these cases more effectively on an interagency basis and explore ways to improve our systems for keeping complete and accurate statistics. State Department personnel, Federal and State prosecutors and investigators, and child welfare agencies need to work together and be better informed, so we make timely and effective decisions about the civil and criminal remedies in these cases, and in order to better respond to the left-behind parent.

Moreover, coordination at a working level must be supported by coordination at a policy level. Secretary Albright and I have asked our senior policy staff to review several policy issues regarding international child abduction. One issue we want to review -- together with O.M.B. if appropriate -- is the level of resources we can and should be devoting to these cases. We also need to explore making better use of diplomatic initiatives and how we at Justice can support State in these efforts. We also need to review, at a senior level, the role of the national center and, in particular, current suggestions to expand its role in prevention, case management, case processing, and support to left-behind parents. vi. conclusion

These cases present difficult challenges. The Justice Department is committed to continue and to improve its partnership with the Department of State, and with State and local authorities, to insure that every case is addressed effectively. While there can be no guarantees we will have the desired result in every case, we must assure that we have done our best to recover children wrongfully separated from their parents, and to enforce the laws and lawful orders of our courts.

Madam Attorney General, I have been around the Senate for a while. I have heard a lot of witnesses on various subjects, but I will say to the Senator from Virginia who has just joined us, Senator Robb, that I have never had one who was more comprehensive in not only discussing the problem, but laying out and identifying in detail what she intends to do about the problem. That is sort of a novelty around this place. Madam Attorney General, I just appreciate so much your coming.

The act of taking a child in violation of a custodial order -- whether across States' lines or across international borders -- is a heinous crime which is extremely heart-wrenching for the parent left behind and for the child or children affected.

There are two means of addressing the problem. The first is for a parent to seek a civil remedy through a foreign court.

Ten years ago, the United States became party to the "Hague Convention on the Civil Aspects of International Child Abduction," a fancy name for a treaty which imposes an obligation on nations party to it to return a child to the rightful custodial parent, subject to certain limitations and exceptions.

After a decade of experience, it is timely for the Committee to review the operation of the treaty, although I am somewhat mystified why we are not hearing from the Department of State on that aspect of the issue.

The second means of addressing the issue (though it does not guarantee the return of the child) is to pursue the perpetrator -- the act of parental abduction is a crime in every State, and it is a federal crime to take or retain a child outside of the country in violation of a custody order.

In the latter case, a criminal suspect may be extradited -- provided, of course, that we have a bilateral extradition treaty with the country where the suspect may be found.

Last year, this Committee took a small but important step in approving legislation, S. 1266 -- the "Extradition Treaties Interpretation Act" -- which will authorize the Executive to utilize older extradition treaties to cover this crime. Unfortunately, the bill has languished in the other body, for reasons I cannot fathom, and so I hope the attention to this issue here today will spur positive action on that legislation.

But the hearing, the topic, and particularly the witness interested me, and I wanted to stop by for just a minute. I agree fully with the chairman's assessment of that portion of the Attorney General's testimony that I heard and the obvious interest and commitment to resolving a very vexing challenge for the international community is certainly very evident from the -- I do not like to use the word "passion," but the commitment to attempting to deal with this particular issue. I join the chairman in saying to the Attorney General thank you for a very comprehensive review and for her obvious dedication to results, not just rhetoric.

If you have answered this question, General, please, I will read it in the record. But how many cases, if you know, do you have pending now that this legislation we are talking about would affect? Do you have any idea of that?

Attorney General Reno. Senator, I do not have the numbers on that, but we will furnish that to you. It is enough so that it causes me problems, and when I go to our executive working group meeting with prosecutors and others, they are fussing at me as to why we have not done more.

Now, the State Department, I am informed, tracks civil law requests under the Convention on Child Abduction, and the Center for Missing and Exploited Children, with a large grant from the Justice Department, which you mentioned, tracks cases of parents who abduct children to the United States.

Now, it seems to me that one of the most frustrating aspects of this problem is fragmentation, and I think you emphasized that very adequately in your statement. Do I gather that you would support a consolidation of these activities, all of them, into the Justice Department?

Attorney General Reno. I am going to wait and see what the committee recommends. I would not support it now and let me tell you why. If -- just if -- somebody decided that was the right thing to do and we took the applications and worked with the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children on the outgoing cases and then handled the incoming cases, we would still have to rely a very great deal on the missions around the world. I can tell you from my own experience in criminal cases where I have to rely on the State Department and its missions around the world to try to find somebody or make contact or nudge a minister of justice a bit, they can be absolutely invaluable. So, no matter where you put it, Mr. Chairman, the two Departments are going to have to work together, and I think the best thing to do is to look at how we can really work together so it is a seamless process. But I want to see what the committee recommends.

Staff has provided something I did not know. They say that California has implemented a system with some success where the civil and criminal aspects of parental kidnapping are unified. Is this some sort of model for a beginning of how to handle our problems?

Attorney General Reno. I have heard of the California system. I have never explored it. Let me explore it and let me make sure that the working interagency committee has the information concerning it.

Last year Joe Biden and I cosponsored a bill, as you mentioned, 1266, the Extradition Treaties Interpretation Act of 1997, which would include parental kidnapping as an extraditable offense under our existing extradition treaties. Now, this bill has languished in the House since it was passed unanimously by the Senate. I think I know the answer to this. Would you support this legislation?

Attorney General Reno. We would be happy to, and not just at this time. If you have any questions -- I have been working with Senator DeWine, and it is helpful for us to know about problem cases so we can address issues of what can be done better. After meeting with him, I have gone back and looked at what we can do to be more effective in terms of determining whether the case should be prosecuted federally or in the State court. We just welcome and continuing suggestions.

But I want to thank you for holding a hearing on what I think is a very important issue. This issue came to my attention I guess the same way a lot of things come to our attention as Senators, and that is, we have constituents who call us or write us who have specific problems. This is a problem that the Attorney General and I have talked about, in fact, talked about just last week, that I think we are just seeing the tip of the iceberg. It is estimated -- I looked at the testimony -- a thousand of these potential cases. My guess is there may be many, many more that we are just not hearing about. But with the increase in international marriages -- we know that half of all marriages in this country, at least, break up. We just know statistically that this is going to continue to be a major problem, and it is a problem that every Senator is going to see in his or her constituency in his or her State. There is nothing sadder than these cases. These are just heart-wrenching cases.

Mr. Chairman, may I make one brief observation? One of the reasons why the Attorney General is probably happy to be here and probably does not want to leave is this is a lot friendlier than another committee, is it not?

We have not asked you any questions about those other subjects. You are welcome to stay, Janet. I realize this may be a momentary safe haven for you to talk about this. In case you are wondering why she is smiling so much, it is not the Judiciary Committee. That is why she is smiling.

Nothing frustrated me as much as to have somebody commit a murder in Dade County, flee to another country, the country of which he was a national, and be told that that country would not extradite its national, and if I wanted to prosecute, I would have to send witnesses and everybody down to the country.

Well, that has created one of the major issues for me, which is if we are going to live in a world of trust, if we are going to have trade agreements and other arrangements with people, then we are going to have to trust each other enough to recognize that any case should presumptively be tried in the place where the crime was committed. You should not ask a child who has been molested to go a thousand miles away to prosecute. It is just wrong. Now, there are certain situations where there is a change of venue even in our country, but our great presumption is in favor of prosecuting the crime where it took place.

So, one of the things that I have engaged in is a continuing campaign with my colleagues, the ministers of justice, to say, look, let us work this out so that we build a world based on trust and that everybody knows there is no safe place to hide. This is important here because some of these cases are stymied because the country where the child is and the parent is will not extradite the parent because the parent is a national of that country.

We have made some progress. Sometimes I think it is four steps forward and five steps back, but it has been a slow process. I think we would like to work with the committee in pursuing that as much as we can.

The second issue is a problem I want to point out. One of the reasons that people do not sometimes get involved in this in State and local jurisdictions is that they will not seek an extradition because they cannot pay for it, or if they seek the extradition, they are worried that once the child is here, the people will not want to prosecute.

I would like to explore legislation that would authorize the Attorney General to designate funds to defray expenses incurred by State and local jurisdictions in an extraordinarily limited number of cases, but important cases that go to very significant problems like this. This tool would be helpful, but it is not intended to shift the entire burden. It is just attempting to create a proper balance between the Federal system and the State system.

Again, child custody is basically a State issue under our Federal system. The Federal system should not be impaired because we cannot afford it. So, Senator DeWine and I had talked about it. Should more cases be brought in Federal court? Is that the best way to do it? I would like to continue to explore with you what the appropriate balance is between the Federal and State side and how that is affected by resources and what the final answer should be.

Well, one of the things that bothers me most is that so often the governments that refuse to cooperate are the ones that have signed treaties saying that they would cooperate. I guess I learned from Sam Ervin who learned from Will Rogers that the United States never lost a war up until that time or won a treaty. So, maybe we better look at the treaties a little bit that we sign around this place instead of race horsing them through the Senate with a two-thirds vote.

Sir, my name is Catherine Meyer and I am a French and British citizen. I was married to a German citizen in 1986. We separated in 1992. We had a contractual agreement by which I had custody of the children and the children would visit their father during the holidays.

We live in London. Everything works well. In 1994, I sent the children on holidays, and 4 days before they are due back I receive a letter from my ex-husband saying, I am not sending them back.

Well, I was, like most people in my situation, completely distraught. I had never heard about child abduction within democratic societies. I only heard of the Bahti Makhmudi case. Suddenly I was faced with losing my children and having to fight through a legal system in my own country. I had actually no idea of the law before. I had to fight in Germany to try and seek the return of my children.

So, this took some time. There were court orders made in Britain for the immediate return of the children who were illegally retained in Germany under Article 3 of the Hague Convention.

We had a first hearing in Germany. About a month later, the German courts initially ordered the return of the children, but my ex-husband asked for half an hour to say good-bye to the children. My lawyers naively agreed and instead of returning the children, he put the children in a car and vanished.

A month and a half later, there was an appeal hearing in Germany, by which time I had not seen my children for 4 months. In the appeal hearing, my ex-husband called the Article 13, which is the only exception in the Hague Convention, as a defense for not returning the children.

One of the problems in this Hague Convention is actually this exception clause because once you have an exception, it basically defies the rule. Unfortunately, my studies of all the cases of some countries that have not returned children, it was always on the basis of Article 13b, which is supposedly the will of the children. So, on this basis my children were not returned.

What I really want to say now is that since 1994 I have been fighting very hard to try and first have the return of my children. Then I have tried simply just to see my children. My children were taken away 4 and a half years ago. In 4 and a half years, I have never seen my children on my own. In 4 and a half years, I have spent 11 hours with my children, locked in a secluded house under the supervision of a third party. My last visit was in February. The visit before that was 2 years ago. It is a very, very difficult thing to live with.

So, one of the major, major issues about this Hague Convention -- we had recently the forum in Washington to try and help parents like me try and make the Hague Convention work better because, as we have discovered, it is a good piece of legislation, but it was written 18 years ago. Many things have changed in 18 years, and we also have discovered that whereas some countries abide by the spirit of the convention, other countries really do not. There are some countries that are specific problems and they do not return children.

Then comes the added additional problem, as I was just saying, can we just even see our children. I think all of us here basically all have our own stories which is in essence very similar, and whether it is a father or whether it is a mother, I find that in modern society to be denied access to your children is quite outrageous.

So, I call very strongly and I really appreciate that we are here to testify because I find this is a huge issue. I realized it was a huge issue when I started fighting. I had some articles in the British and the French press, and I started being approached by other parents. I realized this is enormous, and a lot of parents do not know where to go. They do not know how to get a lawyer. They do not have enough money. So, the numbers that we have, which NCMEC talks about a thousand cases, probably two and a half children per case -- so, let us say 2,500 cases per annum of U.S. children taken abroad to Hague Convention countries. I think those figures do not show the reality. I think the real figures are tens of thousands.

In 1984, I married a German doctor, Hans-Peter Volkmann, in London and our first son, Alexander, was born a year later. Volkmann then decided that we should move to Germany for two years. I abandoned my city career to follow my husband, and our second son, Constantin, was born in 1987. But our marriage broke up and in 1992 we legally separated: the children would live with their mother in London and visit their father during their school holidays.

At first, all worked well. The children adapted quickly to their London life. They continued their schooling at the French Lycee and spent holidays with their father in Germany. I struggled to rebuild my career in the city of London so that I could support my children. By 19941 had managed to obtain a senior position in a Bank and to buy a comfortable apartment for the three of us.

On 6 July 1994, the children left for their summer holidays. Without warning, four days before they were due to return to London, their father announced that he was not sending them back to England. He then disappeared with the boys.

I had no choice but to apply to the English courts. The High Court of England & Wales ruled that the "retention of the children is illegal" and ordered their "immediate return" to Britain under the terms of the Hague Convention. Initially, a local German court upheld the English decision. But Volkmann requested half an hour to say good- bye to the boys. My lawyers naively agreed. Taking advantage of this, and in defiance of the court order, Volkmann bundled the boys into a car and vanished. The local police were unwilling to help and by the time Court bailiffs were located, it was too late.

The following day, Volkmann lodged an "ex-parte" (i.e. the judges did not inform my side) appeal in the higher court of Lower Saxony, in the nearby town of Celle. Astonishingly, the judges made a provisional ruling in his favor. The children should remain in Germany until the appeal was heard.

When this took place, in October 1994, the Celle court reversed the earlier English and German decisions on the grounds that it was the children's wish to remain in Germany, and that they had been suffering in a "foreign environment . . . especially since German is not spoken at home or at school" . . . The judges ruled that the children had attained an age at which it was appropriate to take their view into account, . . . since "a 7 year old child faced with the decision to play judo or football, generally knows which decision to make . . ."

The Celle court decision also meant that all further legal proceedings on custody and access took place -- and are still taking place, four years later -- on the abductors home territory. The second consequence was that despite numerous applications to the German court since 1994, I have never been able to see my children alone.

In November 1995, several applications were rejected on the basis that I might reabduct the boys and that they no longer wanted to see me. In December 1995 a further hearing was held in Verden: access was again denied on the grounds that I could re-abduct the children if we were to spend Christmas together. In January 1996, following a desperate attempt to see my boys in Germany, I was falsely accused by my ex-husband of trying to abduct the children. Despite a police report confirming this was untrue, immediately thereafter and in my absence the court transferred the residence of the children to Germany. Despite every guarantee on my part, including the support of the British Consul General in Hamburg, the fear of abduction was consistently used, over the next few years, to deny me and my parents normal access rights.

In September 1997, Volkmann divorced me. In exchange for giving him custody, it was agreed in court that I should have access to the children on "neutral territory".

But when the moment finally came, six long months later, for me to meet my sons in Hamburg, Volkmann backed out at the last moment, stating that it was the wishes of the children not to see me. The judge refused to enforce the access agreement. It was only then that I discovered that while the custody arrangement was enforceable, access was not. (In the UK it is not possible to get a divorce or a custody order without enforceable access arrangements).

This took place in February of this year. Since then a further application to see my children has been denied on the grounds of "lack of urgency." Now, I am awaiting another hearing in Germany to which I have been summoned on 25 November.

In the last four and a half years, not only have I never been alone with my children, but I still have no enforceable access rights. In this period, I have been able to spend only 11 hours in the company of my children. (2 visits in December 1994; 1 in October 1995 and 5 more by May 1996 and 1 in February 1998). All were held under the most harrowing conditions: locked in my ex-husband's secluded house and under the supervision of a third party. All were broken off after less than two hours.

So the months pass, the years pass, and my children are growing up without a mother. Before my ex-husband abducted our children, they were allowed to see and love both their parents. Now, they are not.

If anything is trans-national, it is the interests of the children. Sadly, children's issues remain an area where national interest is too often allowed to assert itself. Co-operation between some Hague Convention countries is practically non-existent. Judges often do not know the treaty well enough to enforce it and nationalism takes precedence over the Hague Convention rules.

Has anyone proved that I am an unfit mother? No. Has anyone proved that I do not love my children? No. But, I am nonetheless denied the rights that even women in prison are allowed. My parents have been denied all access as well. My 86-year old father may never live to see to see Alexander and Constantin again.

My children will be scarred for life and they may never recover from this experience. They have become confused and angry with me, because they have been told that I have abandoned them. On two occasions, when I saw my sons and told them how happy I was to see them, Alexander replied: "you lie. Daddy told us that you could come and see us whenever you wanted -- but you never did".

Most people associate child abduction with countries where laws and customs are very different from ours. But, child abduction within western societies is much more common than supposed and there has been an explosion in the number of incidents since the mid-1970s.

There is an obvious link between this phenomenon and the decline in marriage as a stabilizing factor in our societies. The sharp rise in divorce rates and children born outside marriage provide fertile ground for disputes about custody and access.

At the same time, the problem of child abduction has over the last two decades acquired a new and sometimes insoluble dimension. Statistics point to an increase in marriage between people of different nationality. This is hardly surprising. With the explosion of international travel and tourism, the social consequences of a global economy, and the increasing irrelevance of national frontiers, especially in Europe, traditional impediments to trans-national marriages have fallen away. But those unions are no less prone to divorce and to quarrels about children.

Whenever marriages break down, a decision has to be taken on where and with whom the children will live. This can be a bitter and contentious business. But when parents of different nationalities are involved, disputes over custody and access can be further exacerbated by differences in culture and in the legal systems of the two countries involved. Some of these situations result in cross-frontier abductions by one of the parents. When this happens -- in contrast to abduction within a single national jurisdiction -- experience shows how difficult it is to secure the safe return of children and to protect them from the psychological damage inflicted by abduction.

Judicial co-operation between states can be a highly contentious area as the recent negotiations on an International Criminal Court have shown. One of the reasons is that judicial systems lie at the heart of national sovereignty. This often inhibits cross-border co-operation, which requires the competence of national courts to be limited by international obligations. The issue of child abduction is a prime example of the limitations of international co-operation in the judicial area.

There are no international conventions regulating custody matters. Every country has its own judicial system. Custody orders made in one country are not necessarily recognized in another. When non-custodial parents abduct their children from the state in which custody has been given (usually heading to their home country), the chances of recovering them through judicial process can be slim. Every year, more and more children find themselves separated in the most harrowing circumstances from one of their parents.

The effect on children can be devastating. But the victim parents themselves are also plunged into a bewildering world where helplessness, despair and disorientation compete. The emotional trauma is compounded by the daunting practical obstacles to retrieving the children, or even to gaming access to them. Simply finding out where to get help can be very difficult. Parents often face unfamiliar legal, cultural and linguistic barriers. Their emotional and financial resources can be stretched to the limit. In the meantime, the abducted child is often led to believe that the victim parent has abandoned it, so leading the child, in its anger and hurt, to assert that it does not want contact with the victim parent. This vicious circle complicates still further a resolution, and will continue to do so until courts recognize that there is such a thing as Parental Alienation Syndrome, PAS. As the years pass, the chances of recovering children before their adulthood become progressively more remote. Many victim parents feel that it would be easier to come to terms with the shock of bereavement than with a situation marked by prolonged uncertainty and anxiety.

Some parents may believe that their actions have an objective justification (e.g. to rescue their children from domestic violence). But a common thread in all too many cases is the sustained, vengeful effort of the abductor to deprive the other parent of contact with the child to the maximum degree possible. The aim is to flee one judicial system, in favor of another in order to permanently reverse previous custody decisions and destroy the other parent's relationship with the child.

The International Hague Convention on the Civil Aspects of International Child Abduction of 1980 was designed to ensure "the protection of children from the harmful effects of their wrongful removal or retention". Should one parent break a custody agreement either by illegally retaining (on an access visit) or abducting a child, the Hague Convention requires its immediate return to the country where the original custody agreement was made.

The purpose of the Hague Convention was to provide a simple and straightforward procedure. In this, it has largely failed. Different national approaches to implementing the Hague Convention, the slowness of procedures, the lack of legal aid in some countries, and the excessive recourse to the loop-hole clause, has meant that most cases of international child abduction remain unresolved. Some children are never located. Others are simply not returned to their country of origin.

The exact figures for trans-national child abduction are not known. Many parents are reluctant to go to the central authorities. Others are not even aware of the existence of the Hague Convention. The official figures could well understate the problem. Even so they are alarmingly high. In the United States alone, the National Centre for Missing and Exploited Children reports over 1,000 American cases (on average two children per case) of cross-border abduction every year and the number is growing sharply. In England, Reunite, the National Council for Abducted Children, has recorded a 50% increase since 1995 in the number of children abducted abroad by an estranged parent. In France, a similar upsurge has been recorded.

Despite the rapid increase in abduction cases, there is too little awareness of the phenomenon in the governments and legislatures of Convention signatories. Nor is there much awareness among the populations at large. As a result, very little is being done to tackle the issue and to make The Hague Convention work as originally intended. the hague convention: what it does and what it does not do

The objectives of the Convention are "to secure the prompt return of the children wrongly removed to, or retained in, any Contracting State; and to ensure that rights of custody and access under the law of the Contracting state are effectively respected in the other Contracting states" (Article 1). The Convention is not concerned with the "best interests of the child", that is to say, with the merits of a custody case. Criticisms or complaints about the custodial parent or the terms of a custody award, are matters to be dealt with by the jurisdiction of the child9s habitual residence. The paramount objective of the Hague Convention is to return the child to the country of habitual residence and to confirm that country's jurisdiction.

The Hague Convention provides for a civil proceeding to be brought by the country from which the child was removed or retained. if proceedings are filed within one year, the judge of the country of retention is mandated to order the return of the child to the country of habitual residence. (Return is discretionary if more than one year has elapsed and the child is settled in the new environment). The abducting parent can raise objections to the return. But the intent of the Convention is not to allow these objections except in the most narrowly defined circumstances.

The exception to the requirement for the immediate return of the child to the country of habitual residence is to be found in Article 13 of the Convention. The judicial or administrative authority of the requested state is not bound to order the return of the child if (Article 13b) there is a grave risk that the child's return would expose him/her to physical or psychological harm or otherwise place the child in an intolerable situation The judicial or administrative authority may also refuse to order the return of the child if it finds that the child objects to being returned and has obtained an age and degree of maturity at which it is appropriate to take account of its views. A main intention of this article was to draw a clear distinction between a child's objections, as defined in the article, and a child's wishes as commonly expressed in a custody case. This is logical, given that the Convention is not intended as an instrument to resolve custody disputes per se. It follows, therefore, that the notion of "objections" under Article 13b is far stronger and more restrictive than that of "wishes" in a custody case. A failure by courts to grasp this distinction, and to see it as a key defense against the manipulation of a child by the abductor-parent, is a root cause of the difficulties described below in the implementation of the convention.

The discretion given to judges has in practice resulted in a wide variation between signatory states in the outcome of proceedings. The American Bar Association reports that judicial returns vary between 5% and 95% from country to country. Article 13b, originally intended as an exception, has in some countries become virtually the rule. This is jeopardizing the Convention's effectiveness and perverting its original intent. 1. The exception is made the rule

Evidence is accumulating that a major cause for the discrepancy in rates of return orders is the level of court allowed to hear Convention cases. When cases are heard centrally by High Court judges, return orders are usually made. But, the system tends to fail, when the courts hearing Convention cases are local family courts without Convention experience. This is particularly significant when Article 13b is raised as an objection.

In England and Wales, Convention cases are exclusively heard centrally by a small number (seventeen at present) of specialist High Court judges. The High courts of England and Wales usually hear cases expeditiously based on paper evidence and without the child's view being heard. Judges usually make a decision quickly to return the children, relying on the foreign court to make a fair decision at any subsequent custody hearing.

The Consultation paper on Child Abduction published in the February 1997 issue of the British Family Law journal reported that in England and Wales, the "consistent approach has been to draw a clear distinction between children's objections under article 13b and children's wishes in ordinary domestic custody cases". The English High Court has taken a policy decision to approach Art. 13b with caution (for example against the risk of indoctrination by an abducting parent) and, even if a child were found to object to a return, to refuse a return only in an exceptional case.

Conversely, in countries where Convention cases are first heard in local courts without Convention expertise, the results can be very different. For instance, in Germany, all Amtsgerichte (small family courts that can be found in towns which have as few as 20,000 inhabitants) have jurisdiction to hear Convention cases. Cases are heard in the locality where the abductor has taken the children (usually his home town) and it is impossible to change jurisdictions. \1\ -

The risk here is of inexperienced judges, who may misinterpret the meaning of the Hague Convention. The 1996 Lowe report found that in Germany, no single Amtsgericht court had heard more than one case and that every time that the child's objections were raised as a "defense" for abduction or retention, a return order was refused

A feature of many such cases is that they are allowed to become a discussion on the merits of custody arrangements. Frequently, an abducting parent will, within the framework of Article 13b, level allegations against the other parent and request that oral evidence be heard. Judges, who are inexperienced, treat these Article 13b objections as "a merit of custody" argument This is exactly what the Convention was supposed to avoid: such considerations are meant to be reserved to the court of the child's habitual residence, which is best placed to decide on questions of custody and access. But local family courts are too often unable or unwilling to uphold the difference between proceedings under the Hague Convention and arguments over custody arrangements. Underlying this is a distrust of foreign courts.

There is the added risk of a vicious circle, if family court judges are seen to favor local residents. Abductors will be readier to take the law into their own hands, if they believe that their judges will ex-post facto legitimize what they have done. 2. The danger of delay

The merit of the Convention is supposed to lie in the speed of its proceedings. But, some countries are markedly slower in dealing with Hague applications than others. This is particularly the case where, as described above, court proceedings become in reality an argument over custody. (The problem of delay is compounded when cases are first heard in lower courts and appeals can then be lodged in higher courts).

In some countries, the involvement of the local Youth Authority or Social Services, plays a major role in proceedings. Local judges tend to rely on their evidence, and hold up matters by asking to see welfare reports and the children. While in principle this could give a more complete picture of the children's situation, it is nonetheless a major factor for delay. In the meantime the child is more and more under the influence of the abducting parent and further alienated from the absent parent There is another problem. Youth Authority reports are usually based on information available only in the country of retention and there is little direct investigation into the environment from which the child has been taken. The result, therefore, can be an in-built bias in favor of the abductor. Finally, the passage of time will eventually generate a new argument, which favors abductors, namely that the children are now settled in their new environment and should not be moved yet again. 3.

In a number of countries, therefore, interpretations of the Hague Convention extend its meaning to encompass in practice an unwarranted jurisdiction in custody matters. Certain consequences flow from this, all of them prejudicial to the victim.

When a child is not returned, the abducting parent has the additional advantage of having subsequent proceedings dealt with in the country of retention rather than the country of the child's habitual residence. Case studies show that these court decisions, dealing with custody and access rights, tend to favor the abducting parent. This, combined with the fact that in some countries (for example in Germany,) judges are reluctant to enforce access orders, results in a situation where a parent is often deprived of all contact with the child, or at best, has contact in only the most harrowing circumstances (e.g. a government office with a third party present). On this interpretation of Article 13, the Hague Convention becomes in effect the instrument of alienation between child and victim-parent -- the very opposite of what was intended.

Professor Elisa Perez-Vera provided the primary source of interpretation of the Convention in her Report of 1980: "The Convention as a whole rests upon the unanimous rejection of the phenomenon of illegal child removals and upon the conviction that the best way to combat them at an international level is to refuse to grant them legal recognition . . . the systematic invocation of the said exceptions, substituting the forum chosen by the abductor for that of the child's residence, would lead to a collapse of the whole structure of the Convention by depriving it of the spirit of mutual confidence which is its inspiration". 4.

Children who are abducted will have already suffered from their parents' separation. But, in addition, they will experience the trauma of being suddenly cut off from their familiar environment -- from a parent, grandparents, school and friends.

This experience is already bad enough: many children do not understand what is happening or why. But things are often made even worse, when the abducting parent is hiding from the police or taking precautions against re-abduction; when the child realizes that there is a state of war between its parents. The child has already been traumatized by the loss of one parent; its greatest fear becomes that it will lose the other parent. This fear itself then becomes an obstacle to resolving the situation, since it is central to what is known as Parental Alienation Syndrome (PAS).

Studies of PAS have established the severity of psychological damage done to abducted children, suddenly separated from a parent. The studies have also shown how susceptible the child is to being systematically alienated by the abductor-parent from the victim-parent.

This susceptibility bears comparison to the "Stockholm Syndrome", when hostages start to identity with their captors. In the case of an abducted child the identification will be the stronger, because of the age of the "hostage" and the child's relationship with the "captor." For fear of losing the abducting parent as well, the child will not only be eager to please, but ready to believe allegations that it has been abandoned by the victim parent

This is fertile ground for systematic indoctrination by the abducting parent and/or a professional psychologist. Since under some judicial systems, children -- sometimes as young as three -- may be required to appear in court, it becomes of paramount importance to abductor-parents that their children say "the right thing" to judges. This puts an even higher premium on placing psychological pressure on abducted children.

The irony -- and tragedy -- is that the Hague Convention, in judicial systems like these, delivers children into precisely the danger from which it is supposed to protect them. Again Article 13 b is the crux. It can only be invoked if returning the child would expose it to grave risk of "physical or psychological harm" or place it in an "intolerable situation". What greater psychological harm, what more intolerable situation could there be for a child, than to be exposed to systematic indoctrination by one parent against the other; and, worse, to carry the main burden of responsibility in adult court proceedings for deciding between mother and father? When placed in this context "the will of the children" becomes nothing less than a vehicle for legitimizing the actions of the abductor-parent. 5. Enforcement

Another problem lies in the alarming number of return orders, which have not been enforced. In several Convention countries, abduction is not considered a criminal act. Returns orders are not enforceable. In other countries, the enforcement process can take several months and does not always end in a return order being made. (The case of Tom Sylvester -US/Austria -- is but one such example). 6. Legal Aid

The lack of legal aid provisions in some countries is another major problem. Victim parents are often unable to bare the costs associated with these expensive procedures. In England & Wales, for instance, the legal aid provisions are extremely generous. But there should be no reason why each Contracting State should not underwrite the application under the Convention itself It would also be helpful to judges if they knew that legal aid will be available in the Contract State to a parent whose child the judge is returning under the Convention. conclusion

Eighteen years of experience with The Hague Convention leads inevitably to the conclusion that it is a seriously flawed instrument, which at worst prejudices the welfare of abducted and illegally retained children. The heart of the problem lies in the failure of national legal systems to implement the Convention in a uniform fashion, consistent with its spirit. As a result the Convention appears to be no deterrent to child abduction.

It is arguable that, in so far as Article 13 can be exploited to justify abduction or retention, it has made the situation worse. It is also striking that, according to research by Dr. Linda Girdner, a parent is more likely to secure a return order through a non-Convention proceeding than through a Hague Convention proceeding (Dr. Girdner quotes an 80% success rate with the former compared with 33% under the latter).

This is not an argument for dismantling the Hague Convention. It is an argument for improving it. The international community needs an international treaty based on the rejection of illegal abductions or retentions across frontiers and the need to return children to their usual place of residence. The fact that, as in England & Wales, the

This task will not be easily or quickly accomplished. That would require the establishment of some kind of supra-national legal body, to which signatory states would defer. That is not going to happen any time soon. The raw material with which we have to work is 52 signatories, with different judicial systems. By definition, as long as this situation remains, the proper implementation of the Hague Convention will depend in large part on a willingness to co-operate in good faith.

A Hague Convention Review Conference needs to be called as soon as possible to debate and introduce improvements in the following areas: 1. The Convention should make trans-national abduction and retention of children a criminal offense, notifiable to Interpol, Europol and national police agencies. 2. At the same time, so as to co-ordinate action and information, there should be "hot lines" between Central Authorities and police; between national organizations, such as NCMEC and Reunite, on the one hand and Central Authorities and police agencies on the other; and between members of the public and national organization. 3. Governments should fund information campaigns to make the public aware of these arrangements. 4. The staff and resources of the Permanent Bureau in The Hague and of Central Authorities should be increased to meet the need for more effective action to tackle international child abduction. In particular the Central Authorities should notify the Permanent Bureau of all abductions or illegal retentions brought to their attention, as well as of the outcome of Hague Convention proceedings on their territories. The Bureau should keep a comprehensive database of these cases. 5. While an exception clause cannot be dispensed with altogether, Article 13 should be re-drafted in a way, which narrows its use to genuinely exceptional circumstances. As currently drafted, it can too easily become the rule and not the exception. 6. In parallel, strict limitations should be placed on the age and circumstances in which children can be called to appear before the court. As a general rule, since Convention hearings are not about custody, children should not appear in courts at all. To require young children to appear in court and to make a choice between parents is a form of child abuse, inflicting extreme cruelty. The confusion and stress involved are for most children beyond description, and empty the notion of the "will of the children" of any significance. There may be rare cases when it is important to hear the child at first hand. But no child below a certain age should have to endure this ordeal. 7. Article 13 should incorporate a clause dealing with access provisions. Namely, if a court refuses a return, it should automatically make the necessary provisions for enforceable access rights, with a fair division of travel costs. 8. Article 21 should be entirely revised. Experience has shown that it does not work. 9. Provisions for legal aid should be addressed and a common policy should be established by ail signatory countries. Many of these points were discussed at the recent NCMEC conference on 15 and 16 September 1998. The recommendations which will be put together shortly, cover much of the above ground.

I hope you are encouraged, at least somewhat, by the testimony of the Attorney General. There seems to me to be a maximum interest in the problem, one that has bothered me for a long time and, of course, has bothered you. I have not had anything happen to me of that sort. To the limit of my capability, I am going to try to encourage the administration to come up with a solution that will be helpful to you.

Carina, my precious 4-year-old daughter, is my only child. My Austrian ex-wife, Monika Sylvester, unlawfully abducted our American-born daughter from the United States to Austria on October 30th, 1995 when she was just 13 months old. Every day since then has been driven by my continuing efforts to seek enforcement of the various U.S. and Austrian court decisions granting me custody of my daughter and her return to the United States. Unfortunately, even after nearly 3 full years, my efforts have failed. Despite my unceasing attempts to be a part of Carina's life, I have not been able to participate at all in her life. The facts are that I have seen my daughter in a supervised setting for less than 10 hours over the past 3 years.

It is my understanding that the focus of this hearing is the response of the U.S. to international parental child abductions from the United States into other nations. It is also my understanding that you are seeking information from left-behind American parents like me specifically on the effectiveness of the responses of the State Department and the Justice Department to our pleas for assistance in obtaining the return of our children. I appreciate your inquiry because, unfortunately, in my experience the response has been of no assistance in obtaining enforcement of the valid orders I have for the custody of my daughter and for her return from Austria.

The reason why it is so important for the U.S. to respond effectively to the needs of left-behind parents involved with countries who are party to the Hague Convention is because the Hague Convention does not always do what it is designed to do: Promptly reintegrate parentally abducted children into their environments of habitual residence for a custody determination. Sometimes, as in my case, even when there is an order entered for the child's immediate return and affirmed all the way through the Supreme Court, the child is still not returned.

I can, of course, speak to you only of my own experience. I can say, however, that from the moment I came home to discover my baby daughter gone on October 30th, 1995, my life has been consumed with the process of fighting to maintain a life with my daughter. Unfortunately, the bottom line to my story is that had I known in the beginning what I know now, I would have taken immediate steps to personally retrieve Carina back to the United States and avoid the emotionally and financially testing legal process entirely. That would have provided the swift return of the child to her environment of habitual residence for a custody determination here. Instead, my initial moves, however, were to the police and a lawyer.

Through the lawyer, I learned of the Hague Convention and its civil remedy for the return of a parentally abducted child. Having a highly developed sense of right and wrong and being a law respecting and law abiding person myself, I put my faith in the workings of the legal system, that applying the terms of the Hague Convention would bring my daughter home.

What I had not counted on was that Carina's mother would not comply voluntarily with the order for return and that the Austrian legal system would provide no mechanisms for enforcing its own orders to coerce her to do so.

I received a prompt order from the Austrian trial court that Carina be returned to her home in Michigan in 1995 which became valid and final when affirmed by the Austrian Supreme Court upon its delivery to the trial court on May 7th, 1996. However, because of the completely ineffectual system for enforcement of orders in Austria, Carina was never voluntarily returned.

The one and only opportunity for civil enforcement was given only after the order was affirmed by the Supreme Court. An early morning surprise coercive enforcement was permitted because of the mother's well publicized refusal to allow the child to be returned to the States.

When this enforcement was attempted in May 1996, with the assistance of a court officer, local police, a social worker, and the trial judge herself, in the end it was merely the classic knock on the door and a request for compliance. The answer to the knock on the door was that, of course, the baby was not home, but in reality she had gone out a back window in the arms of her grandmother.

Once that enforcement failed, there was no voluntary compliance and no available means to try again. Instead, Carina's mother took an offensive position launching every legal maneuver imaginable. Finally, one of those maneuvers stuck and it was fatal to my case. That was her motion to reopen the Hague Convention case due to the passage of time and the assimilation of my daughter into the Austrian environment during that period of time. Unbelievably, the same Austrian Supreme Court that had affirmed the order for return in 1996 affirmed first the decision of the trial court to reopen the Hague case, then its decision not to enforce the order for return as in the child's best interest. With that decision, all doors to my daughter slammed shut.

Thus, due to the passage of time and the ineffectiveness of the Austrian courts to enforce its own orders, the Austrian judiciary has now taken the position that Austria will not enforce its own valid and final order for my daughter's return.

The situation is best described with circular logic: The child has not been returned because the order was not enforced; now the order will not be enforced because the child was not returned.

On April 16th, 1996, I obtained a judgment of divorce in Michigan and was awarded custody of my daughter until further order of the court. The Austrian Administrative Supreme Court refused to acknowledge that judgment. My appeal is still pending before the Supreme Administrative Court for a final determination.

In the meantime, the Austrian trial court has awarded custody to my wife and has further ordered me to pay support. However, I have had only the scantiest opportunity to see my daughter since she was taken from me. Over the past 3 years, I have had to petition, argue appeals, and request special writs, all for the opportunity to see my daughter in a public building, supervised by no fewer than six people for a total of less than 10 hours.

Imagine yourself in my shoes, for example, awaiting one such visit ordered at Christmas 1995 which was to have given me my first glimpse of Carina since she had been abducted. I arrived at the Institute for Learning in Graz with a bag of gifts on Christmas eve only to have the mother ignore the order. I left the Institute still with the gifts in hand returning to my hotel room to spend the rest of Christmas there alone. It is a pitiful situation for a parent, but consider why it is necessary to deny Carina the opportunity to share these wonderful times with her father. There is no sanction for her failure to provide the child on that day or any other.

The visitation has deteriorated to such a point that I was forced to file a petition for rights of access under Article 21, which has resulted in so many appeals that by the time each set of appeal is complete, the requested visitation time has passed and the issue is moot.

As a result of the very frustrating legal situation in Austria, I sought all possible assistance here in the States. Very little that happened here in the States had any effect whatsoever on my situation. Naturally I worked with and spoke regularly to the Office of Children's Issues people who were working on my case, and I must say that on a whole I have been extremely frustrated with the results. Perhaps my expectations were unrealistic, but as the U.S. Central Authority, I would have hoped for swift and aggressive action in Carina's behalf under its obligations in Article 7 of the Hague Convention. Instead, I was told I would have to wait, that the issue would be addressed to the Austrians, for example, in 6 months at the conference meeting, or I would hear, my hands are tied, or you are just upset because you are not getting what you want.

My attorney was simultaneously making calls and writing letters to State and receiving a similar response. The time delays in the preparation of letters, notes, and de marches is astounding and I feel they lose all effectiveness as a result of their delay. Although some strongly worded letters went out on my behalf, my overall impression is that the case workers are diplomats whose overall objectives were not those articulated under the Hague Convention, but international relations at the expense of children.

My experiences with the Justice Department began well with the entry of an international warrant in May 1996 under the International Parental Kidnapping Crime Act. This led to the red and yellow notices by Interpol. However, my case went nowhere. Even inquiries into the matter were surprisingly met with contention. Initially I was told that the criminal approach would be put on hold to see how the civil proceedings under the Hague would unfold. I was also told that Austria does not extradite its citizens, but the U.S. does. So, if I were to go over to Austria to retrieve Carina myself, then I would run the risk of being extradited back to Austria to face criminal charges there. Clearly an unlevel playing field.

Now, nearly 3 years later, we have seen how the civil proceedings have unfolded. Still nothing. In fact, after a very short period of time, it became clear that the official position of the Department of Justice was to remain neutral on the warrant. Not understanding this position or being satisfied with it, I continued to press for information and answers or even some interest in the warrant of any kind. For example, my recent request to the Assistant Attorney General on the case that an extradition request be issued, even if impossible to achieve, was denied.

Therefore, I believe the United States is not responding adequately through law enforcement tools to assist American parents in internationally abducted U.S. children. Such legal action by the U.S. Department of Justice would serve to apply pressure on the Austrians to comply with its international treaty obligations and perhaps the abductor take accountability for the wrongful, illegal behavior. With the current situation of lack of support from the U.S. Department of Justice, the abductor continues to get away with complete impunity.

Now, here I am a left-behind father with an international warrant under the International Parental Kidnapping Act and all I was asking what could be done to follow up on the warrant. For example, what is the next step? Can we request extradition? I still, after more than 2 years, do not have an answer to these questions. As U.S. citizens, are Carina and I not entitled to U.S. law enforcement? My experience with Justice was borderline hostility rather than helpfulness. My questions concerning extradition requests were constantly answered that Austria does not extradite its own citizens. Now I have learned that a request could have gone out, nonetheless, to send a message, but I was able to get nowhere in my request that this be done.

Over the past 3 years, I have requested the involvement of senior officials in the Department of State, the Department of Justice, Congressmen, Senators, diplomats, the FBI, and people at the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. My attorney talked to Janet Reno in person early on about my case. In June 1997, I met personally with Swanny Hunt, the U.S. Ambassador to Austria, in her office in Vienna.

I have paid attorney fees both here and in Austria in excess of $200,000. I have attended workshops and rallies. I have networked with other parents who are similarly situated. I believe I am doing all I can and feel that some days I devote most of my day to my efforts to get some assistance to enable me to have a life with my daughter. I have sought this assistance from only those persons I believe to be holding themselves out as those who can help: The Department of State and the Department of Justice. I have long felt abandoned by both.

Carina Sylvester is an American born U.S. citizen with rights which are being violated. Who in the United States is working to protect Carina's rights? Furthermore, Carina has rights which continue to be violated. According to the Austrian's own agreement to the U.N. Convention on the Rights of the Child, Carina has a right to know both parents, both extended families, and both nationalities. If you have rights that are not able to be exercised, it is as if you have no rights at all. She is not being exposed to this country, her native language, or her extended family. She has the right to a continuing relationship with me, her father. Carina was taken from her home in the U.S. nearly 3 years ago. Since then, every day I feel like I have been fighting with both the Austrian and U.S. Governments in order to be a substantial part of Carina's life.

I love Carina with all my heart and soul. I am committed to a loving relationship with my daughter. With positive persistence and enduring patience, I have learned that I have misplaced my trust in the judicial system. I do not want to lose Carina. She is the most important part of my life. Please help to bring Carina back to the United States and allow her the opportunity to enjoy the normal relationship that a child is entitled to have with her father.

There are no words which can adequately describe my feelings of loss and pain. I wish that I could convey the daily anguish and the deeper feelings of sorrow, sadness, anger, despair, and hurt. These feelings are always present for me. The moment I became aware that my daughter was taken from me, I felt like someone had reached inside my chest and ripped my heart out of my body. Since then, I think about her always. Every child I see reminds me of her. There is not a day that goes by that she is not paramount on my mind. Through Carina, I felt the joy and wonder of being a father. Then, after only 13 months, I felt the sorrow of her being taken away from me. If you are a parent yourself, perhaps you can imagine the heartbreak of being without your child.

There is an immediate need for both the Department of State and the Department of Justice to prioritize these parental child abduction matters and assist with the enforcement of American orders and American arrest warrants to give some support to parents like me who obtain affirmed valid and final orders for return under the Hague Convention which they themselves do not bring the children home. A strongly staffed U.S. Central Authority must take an aggressive, nondiplomatic posture with uncooperative Central Authorities like the Austrian Ministry of Justice. The Department of Justice must vigorously pursue these fugitives from justice as they would serious crimes and never again remain neutral on a warrant for arrest of an abductor. Extradition should be requested in every appropriate case whether it is believed to be granted or not.

I am Tom Sylvester, father of Carina Sylvester, my precious four- year old daughter who is my only child. My Austrian ex-wife, Monika Sylvester, unlawfully abducted our American-born daughter, Carina, from the United States to Austria on October 30, 1995, when she was only 13 months old. Every day since then has been driven by my continuing efforts to seek enforcement of the various U.S. and Austrian Court orders granting me custody of my daughter, the arrest of her mother and her return to the United States. Unfortunately, even after three full years, my efforts have failed. Despite many unceasing attempts to be part of Carina's life, I have not been successful. The facts are that I have seen my daughter in a supervised setting for less than 10 hours over the past three years.

On October 31, 1995 I filed an Application for Assistance with the State Department under the Hague Convention on the Civil Aspects of International Child Abduction to which both the U.S. and Austria are party. I also filed a Complaint for Divorce in Oakland County Michigan Circuit Court. The Application for Assistance made its way through the Austrian Ministry of Justice to the court of the first instance in Graz, Austria where hearings were conducted by Judge Christine Katter. Both the mother and I appeared at the hearings, and the mother raised her defenses to return the child under the terms of the Hague Convention Treaty. On December 20, 1995, Judge Katter entered an Order for the immediate return of Carina to me in Michigan. The mother, however, did not comply with the court order.

Thereafter, Judge Katter ordered specific supervised visitation for me at the Institute of Family Learning in Graz on Christmas Eve and December 27, 1995. The mother did not bring the child to the appointed place for visitation on either date denying Carina the opportunity to share the fun of opening Christmas presents with her Father.

Instead, the mother took an appeal to Judge Katter's Order to the Austrian Court of Appeals. This initiated an automatic stay of enforcement of the December 20, 1995 Court Order which ultimately continued through May 7, 1996. The Austrian Court of Appeals affirmed the decision of Judge Katter and again directed Mrs. Sylvester to return the child to me for a custody determination here in the United States.

The mother still would not return the child and instead took an Extraordinary Writ to the Austrian Supreme Court. The Austrian Supreme Court, although rendering its decision on February 27, 1996 in favor of the return of the child, did not "deliver" its Order until May 7, 1996. Once delivered, all stays were then lifted in this case and the Order of December 20, 1995 became finally enforceable. On May 10, 1996, two local attorneys assembled a group in Graz, Austria to assist in effectuating civil enforcement of Judge Katter's Order. That group included local police, Judge Katter herself, an enforcer from the court and others, including my Michigan counsel and me. Unfortunately, the well-intentioned enforcement failed when the mother stated that Carina was not at home and that she was with her grandmother somewhere "in the mountains." I believe that Carina's grandmother escaped from the house with Carina out a back window.

There was much drama in the attempted enforcement in that a gun was drawn by the child's Austrian grandfather on the court officials. However, the local police on the scene made no arrests. To date, despite efforts by my Austrian counsel, there has been no criminal matter against the mother lodged by Austrian officials.

The mother, still not in compliance with the court's order for return, responded to the attempted enforcement by first admitting herself into a hospital for "injuries" allegedly sustained during the benign attempted enforcement. She then retaliated with a barrage of actions against the trial court including a motion for disqualification of the judge alleging an amorous connection between the judge and my Austrian counsel, and a motion to change venue based on a false change in her address, both of which were denied. The mother then lodged criminal charges and grievances against my attorney. The most damaging of all, however, was her petition to "reopen" the Hague Convention case due to change of circumstances resulting from the passage of time. This motion was denied by the trial court, but was reversed and remanded on appeal. The Supreme Court of Austria determined that the order to return, entered more than a year earlier, may not itself be changed since it is both valid and final. However, with the services of an expert in child psychology, the trial court was to determine is circumstances had changed sufficiently due to the passage of time to warrant that the child not now be separated from her mother under the "grave risk of harm" analysis. The trial court was further to consider if the child were to be returned, the proper mode of enforcement for the order.

On remand, the trial court held that the order for return would not be enforced. This decision was made with no input from me and was based on a best interests of the child analysis "since the specific welfare of the child takes precedence over the purposes of the Hague Convention." This decision was made despite the assurances of a "Safe Harbor" order from the Michigan court, the scheme of which the trial court dismissed as not in the child's best interest since it would remove her from Austria and could allow for my retaining custody in Michigan. both situations, the court concluded, would be detrimental to the child. With this analysis, the court effectively determined custody in clear violation of Article 16. This decision was subsequently affirmed on appeal.

In Michigan, the divorce case proceeded to a Default Judgment of Divorce granting me sole physical and legal custody of Carina. The mother was granted supervised visitation in Michigan. The Judgment was entered on April 16, 1996. One week later, Judge Breck entered an Order sealing court records. The Austrian Ministry of Justice refuses to acknowledge the Michigan Judgment of Divorce, such refusal based in part of an Affidavit submitted by the mother's Michigan counsel. this decision was affirmed on appeal and is currently pending before the Supreme Administrative Court.

In the meantime, the FBI and the West Bloomfield, Michigan Police have submitted reports to Interpol. It is my understanding however that Interpol itself officially takes no affirmative steps to locate anyone or enforce anything. the process of seeking assistance

In an attempt to move the Austrian authorities to assist in either the civil or criminal enforcement of Judge Katter's Order, I sought the assistance of the American Consulate in Vienna. The U.S. Ambassador personally delivered a U.S. government de marche to the Austrian Ministry of Foreign Affairs in June, 1997. I asked the State Department, Bureau of Consular Affairs to correspond with the Ministry of Justice, the Central Authority in Austria. In response, the Minister of Justice has declined to assist in the enforcement of the Hague Convention.

Nothing done has made a difference. The child was not returned because the order was not enforced, now the order will not be enforced because the child was not returned. The delay engendered both by the stubborn refusal of the mother not to comply with the order for return and the unending number of ancillary motions and other legal maneuvers brought by the mother coupled with the unlimited number of appeals to each decision, was fatal to my relationship with my daughter. the u.s. central authority: the state department

As a result of the very frustrating legal situation in Austria, I sought all possible assistance here in the States. Very little that happened here in the U.S. had any effect whatsoever on my situation. Naturally, I worked and spoke regularly to the Office of Children's Issues people who were working on my case. And I must say that on a whole, I have been extremely frustrated with the results. Perhaps my expectations were unrealistic, but as the U.S. Central Authority, I would have hoped for swift and aggressive action in Carina's behalf under its obligations in Article 7 of the Hague Convention. Instead, I was told I'd have to wait -- that the issue would be addressed to the Austrians for example in six months at the Conference Meeting. Or I'd hear "my hands are tied", or "you're only upset because you are not getting what you want". My attorney was simultaneously making calls and writing letters to State and receiving a similar response. The time delays in the preparation of letters, notes and de marches is astounding and I feel they lose all effectiveness as a result of their delay. Although some strong-worded letters went out on my behalf -- my overall impression is that the case workers are diplomats whose overall objectives were not those articulated under the Hague Convention, but international relations, at the expense of the children. the justice department

My experiences with the Justice Department began well with the entry of an international warrant in May of 1996 under the International Parental Kidnapping Crime Act. This led to the red and yellow notices by Interpol. However, the case went nowhere. Even inquiries into the matter were surprisingly met with contention. Initially, I was told that the criminal approach would be put on hold to see how the civil proceedings under the Hague Convention would unfold. I was told that Austria does not extradite its citizens but the U.S. does. So if I were to go over to Austria to retrieve Carina myself, that I would run the risk of being extradited to Austria to face criminal charges there. Now nearly three years later, we've seen how the civil proceedings have unfolded and still nothing. In fact, after a very short period of time it became clear that the official position of the Department of Justice was to "remain neutral" on the warrant. Not understanding this position or being satisfied with it, I continued to press for information and answers or even some interest in the warrant of any kind. For example, my recent request to the Assistant Attorney General on the case that an extradition request be issued -- even if impossible to achieve -- was denied. Therefore, I believe the United States is not responding adequately through law enforcement tools to assist American parents and internationally abducted U.S. children. Such legal action by the U.S. Department of Justice would serve to apply pressure on the Austrians to comply with its international treaty obligations, and perhaps the abductor to take accountability for the wrongful, illegal behavior. With the current situation of lack of support from the U. S. Department of Justice, the abductor continues to get away with complete impunity.

Now, here I am a left-behind father with an international warrant under the IPKA and all I asked was what can be done to follow up on the warrant -- for example, what's the next step? My experience with Justice was borderline hostility rather than helpless. My questions concerning extradition requests were constantly answered that Austria doesn't extradite its own citizens. Now I have learned that a request could have gone out nonetheless to send a message but I was able to get nowhere in my requests that this be done. one cause of the problem

Had Austria been able to provide some mechanisms for enforcement of the return order for Carina, the Department of State and the Department of Justice would need to pay no significant role. Therefore, Austria plays a significant role in the bizarre result of my case that looked so hopeful from the start. As a treaty partner to the Hague Convention, Austria has indicated its interests in and dedication to complying with the terms of the Convention and its implementation there. Nonetheless, its legal system works in direct opposition to the goals of the Convention -- that being the prompt return of the parentally abducted child into its environment of habitual residence.

First, the Austrian legal system fails to provide for any significant and hard-hitting enforcement procedures, relying instead on the polite knock on the door and a request for voluntary compliance. Second, the Austrian legal system provides no end to any issue before it, allowing for unlimited appeals and motions until an original decision is bent so far out of shape that is no longer the same decision. This creates the serious problem of extensive delay, i.e., when the court file is in a higher court, no proceedings can be had on any interim matter requiring resolution not related to the issue on appeal.

Third, the Austrian Central Authority is intractable. There is no real evidence of any interest or dedication to compliance with its duties under Article 7. In my case, when correspondence was sent from our Central Authority to the Austrian Central Authority requesting information as to what affirmative steps had been taken under Article 7, the response was that the Minister of Justice declined to answer on the basis that the question did not promote good Austrian-American relations.

Unfortunately for parents who put their faith in the legal system, the Hague Convention sometimes does not work even between parties to the Convention and even when orders for immediate return of the child are entered. It is because of this failure that American parents desperately need the assistance of the Department of State and the U.S. Central Authority, and the Department of Justice as our center of federal law enforcement. the harsh reality

The harsh reality of my situation is that I have paid attorney fees both here and in Austria in excess of $200,000. I have attended workshops and rallies. I have networked with other parents who are similarly situated. I believe I am doing all that I can and feel that some days I devote most of my day to my efforts to get some assistance to enable me to have a life with my daughter. I have sought this assistance from only those persons I believe to be holding themselves out as those who can help -- Department of State and Department of Justice. I have long felt abandoned by both.

Carina Sylvester is an American-born U.S. Citizen with rights which are being violated. Who in the U.S. is working to protect Carina's rights? Furthermore, Carina has rights which continue to be violated. According to the Austrian's own agreement to the U.N. Convention on the Rights of the Child, Carina has a right to know both parents, both extended families, and both nationalities. Carina is being denied her rights. If you have rights that are not able to be exercised, it is as if you have no rights at all. She is not being exposed to this country, her native language or her extended family. She has the right to have a continuing relationship with me, her father. Carina was taken from her home in the U.S. nearly three years ago. Since then, every day I feel like I have been fighting with Austrian and U.S. governments, in order to be a substantial part of Carina's life.

I love Carina with all of my heart and soul. I am committed to a loving relationship with my daughter. With positive persistence and enduring patience I have learned that I have misplaced my trust in the judicial system. I do not want to lose Carina; she is the most important part of my life.

Please help to bring Carina back to the United States and allow her the opportunity to enjoy the normal relationship that a child is entitled to have with her father.

There are no words which can adequately describe my feelings of loss and pain. I wish that I could convey the daily anguish and the deeper feelings of sorrow, sadness, anger, despair and hurt. These feelings are always present for me. The moment I became aware that my daughter was taken from me I felt like someone had reached inside my chest and ripped my heart out of my body. Since then, I think about her always. Every child I see reminds me of her. There is not a day that goes by that she is not paramount on my mind. Through Carina, I felt the joy and wonder of being a father. Then, after only 13 months, I felt the sorrow of her being taken away from me. If you are a parent yourself; perhaps you can imagine the heartbreak of being without your child. what can be done

There is an immediate need for both the Department of State and the Department of Justice to prioritize these parental child abduction matters and assist with the enforcement of American orders and American arrest warrants to give some support to parents like me who obtain affirmed valid and final orders for return under the Hague Convention which don't themselves bring the children home. A strongly staffed U.S. Central authority must take an aggressive, non-diplomatic posture with uncooperative Central Authorities like the Austrian Ministry of Justice. The Department of Justice must vigorously pursue these fugitives from justice as they would "serious" crimes and never again remain neutral on a warrant for arrest of an abductor. Extradition should be requested in every appropriate case whether it is believed it will be granted or not.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, before proceeding, I would like to express my deep appreciation to you and to other members of the committee for their interest in this subject, for your willingness to schedule hearings on the subject, and for your untiring commitment to assisting American children and their parents in this awful situation. In addition, the dedication and hard work of the committee staff in preparing for this hearing merits the admiration and thanks of all left-behind American parents. Among the only rays of hope in this situation for most of us have been the work of your committee and other congressional initiatives on the House side under Chairman Gilman and the House Caucus on Missing Children. So, for all of us, thank you.

Mr. Chairman, I need to say that this statement is submitted solely in my personal capacity as an American citizen and as the father of Amanda Kristina Johnson, an American child wrongfully retained in Sweden. Although I have been an attorney for the U.S. Department of State for 19 years, I make this statement as a private citizen and do not in any way purport to represent or speak for the Department of State. I have taken annual leave to be here today and have not used Government resources to prepare or reproduce this statement.

Mr. Chairman, in the June 29th Washington Post article on Lady Meyer that most of us have seen, there was consensus among most of those quoted, including U.S. Government personnel, that the system does not work. Having spent more than $200,000 in Amanda's case, litigating against the deep pocket of the Swedish Government in nine courts in two countries, I fully agree that the system does not work. This committee is to be commended for trying to find out why the system does not work and for being willing to do something about it.

Mr. Chairman, as you indicated earlier, there is less than a 30 percent return rate for American children under the Hague Convention and quite frankly that percentage is probably skewed by the very high return rate from certain countries such as the United Kingdom. So, if a country like the United Kingdom were eliminated, the average would be much lower.

The situation is only getting worse for left-behind parents at the moment because of the difficulties of getting the Justice Department to implement the 1993 act when Hague remedies are inapplicable or have been exhausted, the worst offending countries emboldened by the feeling that there is no risk in their current conduct, and the absence of adequate preventative measures.

I will briefly try to summarize my rather lengthy statement, covering the subjects of foreign government involvement in and support for parental child abduction and wrongful retention, foreign legal systems that cannot or will not control the conduct of their citizens, the need for preventive and remedial measures to protect American children from the increasing threat, the importance of not writing off American children for the sake of good relations or any other reason, and some specific recommended congressional actions, most of which require only political will rather than tangible resources.

I would identify five pillars of a governmental child abduction system, and in particular I would list extreme gender or national bias in the courts, payment of unlimited legal fees for the child abductor at home and abroad, no enforceability of visitation or parental rights for the non-local parent, no principle of comity or respect for foreign law, foreign court orders, and the legal system in question, and criminal legislation that protects parents who abduct or wrongfully retain children.

Despite the best efforts and intentions of Congress and some individuals in the executive branch, the truth is that all too often American parents are up against the full weight of foreign governments in these cases. Without the help of Congress along the lines I suggest below in the statement, more American citizens will continue to be victimized by foreign parents and their governments determined to abduct or retain American children, withhold them abroad, and ignore United States and international law.

Mr. Chairman, as a preliminary matter, it is very important to stress this matter of no enforceable visitation or access to children in European civil law countries. The point is that if an American child is not returned under the Hague Convention, the consequence is that that child is likely to be completely lost to their American parents and families. In essence, the exercise of regular child custody jurisdiction in Sweden or Austria or Germany or Denmark effectively terminates the parental rights of the American parent because in Sweden, for example, a non-Swedish, non-custodial parent has no enforceable rights of any kind. So, for those reasons, I have spent the money I cited before in an effort to avoid Swedish custody jurisdiction because of those consequences.

Amanda is not the first American child to be in this situation. She is not the only one at the moment. There is the child of Mark Larson of Orem, Utah, the children of Greg O'Donohue of Burbank, California, and she will definitely not be the last child without sweeping reforms of Swedish legislation, policy, and attitudes. But Congress can do a great deal to reduce the risks for American children and their parents, while increasing the risks of wrongful conduct for governments like Sweden and their citizens.

Mr. Chairman, these are not private child custody disputes. Until the Post article mentioned appeared on June 29th, it is unlikely that many of us would have thought possible what Germany has done to the relationship between Lady Meyer and her children, and that is the key point. It is Germany, its governmental, legal, and social welfare systems, that has committed these human rights violations just as it is Sweden that has done everything possible to destroy Amanda's relationship with her American family, friends, home, and familiar environment in Virginia.

Individual parents capable of abducting or wrongfully retaining their children exist everywhere, including the United States. The key question is whether their governments will do anything to control their conduct and protect the parental rights of foreign parents, especially in light of the international legal obligations of all countries under either the Hague Convention or human rights treaties that guarantee the role of both parents and the right of children with parents of different nationalities to spend time in both countries. All of these countries we are talking about are parties to the Convention on the Rights of the Child, which has 9 or 10 articles trying to guarantee the role of both parents in every child's life, the role of both countries when parents live in different countries, et cetera.

Mr. Chairman, the disinformation inherent in the false claim of "private child custody dispute" is particularly infuriating to American parents who have spent much of their savings fighting against the deep pocket of a foreign government in both United States and foreign courts simply to maintain any sort of contact with their children, while at the same time obeying all applicable laws in both countries.

Mr. Chairman, my statement contains a summary of the Swedish Government system of international child abduction. I will come back to it if there is time, but the purpose of inserting it in my statement was to give an example of the kind of country-by-country information in narrative form that should be readily available to Congress, U.S. courts, attorneys, and parents.

Mr. Chairman, concerning the details of Amanda's case, voluminous documentation has already been given to committee staff, and several items are appended to this statement, including the unanimous decision of the Virginia Court of Appeals in the case, a Swedish Government demand for reimbursement of legal fees and child support that it has paid the abductor, a Swedish criminal law which is intended and used to protect Swedish child abductors and punish non-Swedish parents, photographs showing Swedish police participation in the continuing Federal and State felonies against Amanda and me, and a two-page outline of the Swedish Government system of supporting and financing parental child abduction.

Mr. Chairman, the facts of the case are set forth in my statement. I would like to get to my proposed remedies, so I will not spend too much time on the facts except to say that four Swedish courts either ordered Amanda's return under the Hague Convention or held that Sweden did not have jurisdiction over her because she was only in Sweden temporarily as agreed.

After an endless Hague process of 17 months, rather than the 6 weeks envisioned in the Hague Convention, the highest court concerned reversed all the lower court rulings and declared that Amanda would not be returned to the United States.

I later obtained a sole custody order in Virginia, which the Swedish Government then challenged in the courts of Virginia, as I will mention in a moment.

In terms of an update, I have only seen Amanda for 12 hours since December 1996, and the last time I was under police supervision at her school. That gives an indication of the resources that the Swedish Government is willing to utilize to benefit their child abductors.

For the summers of 1997 and 1998, creative efforts by my Swedish and American attorneys to arrange visitation in the United States with guaranteed return to Sweden, because U.S. court orders will be enforced against me, or any type of supervised or unsupervised access in Sweden were summarily rejected by the mother and her attorney. No assistance was provided by the judge now assigned to the case, and the Swedish judge who previously dismissed the mother's petition for sole custody and upheld the Virginia order, has, not surprisingly, been removed from the case.

In terms of the U.S. Government response, Mr. Chairman, when an American parent faces this situation today, he or she does so alone in many respects. Legal fees can quickly mount to tens of thousands of dollars, and there is still no central repository of information and expertise that can quickly and effectively supply accurate, basic data on the legal system, child custody institutions, law enforcement systems, social welfare system, legal aid program, and Hague Convention performance of the abductor's country. The left-behind American parent, thus, has little basis for evaluating the options available.

Mr. Chairman, prevention and deterrence are what is needed and really is the key to eliminating much of the secrecy and ignorance that leads to successful child abductions and retentions. Effective vehicles already exist, such as the annual human rights report and a country-by-country Hague compliance report that may be enacted in the future.

Mr. Chairman, currently the counselors available to left- behind parents have roughly a case load of 150. At present there is no real advocate for left-behind American parents who must deal with a hostile foreign government and an often unresponsive U.S. Government, whereas foreign parents whose children are abducted or retained in the U.S. have access to the superb capabilities and staff of the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. Left-behind American parents would greatly benefit if the National Center were allowed to play the same role for outgoing cases, abductions from the United States, as it plays for incoming cases.

There is no monitoring of litigation in the United States financed by foreign governments so that statements of interest or amicus briefs could be filed in landmark cases. We are not talking about great resources here. The burden, of course, would be on the American parent to notify the U.S. Central Authority that an appeal of a particular custody order is pending and to see if there are interesting issues for the Federal Government to address.

Mr. Chairman, foreign Central Authorities often work just as hard to assist their nationals who abduct or retain children as they do for their nationals who are victimized. I can give several examples, but would like to get on to the International Parental Kidnapping Crime Act of 1993.

Mr. Chairman, this act should either be revised, if that will result in greater willingness of U.S. Attorneys' offices to utilize it, or be enforced as it stands. In my opinion it can be enforced as it stands. Today, however, the 1993 act is not only a failure generally in helping Americans, there have only been one or two prosecutions nationwide, few indictments, and fewer still provisional arrest requests to foreign governments. This has become a very effective tool for foreign child abductors both in United States courts and foreign courts. Its mere existence and the purely theoretical possibility of prosecution of foreign abductors or retainers is being used against American parents in Hague Convention and regular custody in the United States and abroad. Attorneys for child abductors, including those hired and instructed by foreign governments that are United States treaty partners, have argued that the fear of prosecution under the 1993 act justifies the denial of applications for return of American children under the Hague Convention, as well as the refusal of foreign abductors to appear in U.S. custody proceedings. This latter argument concludes with the demand that U.S. courts defer to the jurisdiction of the foreign court.

We are going to have some votes in just a minute, and I want Mr. Marinkovich to have some time too. If you would wind up as quickly as you can, bearing in mind that all of this is in writing and we are going to give it further circulation. We have given it to the media who are present this morning. I happen to be personally interested in this thing, and I have got a few comments about the Attorney General. So, if you will conclude when you can. I am not rushing you, but --

In particular, Mr. Chairman, I think there should be general objectives: Dissemination of information to alert U.S. courts, law enforcement authorities, family law practitioners, and parents to what is going on in this field; the sending of a clear worldwide message that the U.S. Government will not tolerate the abduction or wrongful retention of American children under any circumstances, and will make foreign governments pay a price if they essentially encourage and reward such conduct through financial and other direct support to abductors; third, a reform of current U.S. law and practice may be useful in certain areas.

In my statement I list criteria that this committee may wish to consider in terms of what kind of countries we want to have bilateral law enforcement relationships with.

With regard to child support enforcement, Mr. Chairman, I would ask that the committee look at pages 17 and 18 of my statement to take measures to ensure that left-behind American parents are not on the receiving end of foreign government demands for child support for abducted children that are then enforced by the U.S. Government against left-behind parents. That is a possibility under current legislation. I have several safeguards that I list in that area.

The Privacy Act and the Freedom of Information Act are often used to deny information and documentation to American parents. It seems to me that people like us have an absolute right to know everything that our Government is doing or failing to do in these cases.

Finally, Mr. Chairman, I would just propose an exception to the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act so that individual Americans who are the victims of crimes supported and financed and facilitated by foreign governments be able to take those governments into U.S. district court.

To sum up, Mr. Chairman, it seems to me that to a large extent these crimes of human rights violations against American children and their parents succeed to a large extent because the foreign governments concerned are confident that there is no down-side risk. This guarantees future cases.

As a father who came within 18 hours of regaining his daughter only to have a last minute stay from the Swedish court change our lives forever, I can only express the hope that this committee and Congress in general will ensure that there will be consequences in the future for governments that facilitate, finance, otherwise support, and reward the international parental child abduction or wrongful retention abroad of American children.

This statement is submitted solely in my personal capacity as an American citizen and as the father of Amanda Kristina Johnson, an American child wrongfully retained in Sweden. Although I have been an attorney for the U.S. Department of State for nineteen years, I make this statement as a private citizen and do not in any way purport to represent or speak for the Department of State. I have taken annual leave to be here today and have not used government resources to prepare or reproduce this statement.

Before proceeding, I would like to express my deepest appreciation to Senator Helms for his interest in this subject, for his willingness as chairman of the Committee to schedule a hearing on this subject, and for his untiring commitment to assisting American children and their parents subjected to the tragedy of international parental abduction and wrongful retention. I am also grateful to other members of the Committee for their interest and involvement in addressing this subject. Finally, the dedication and hard work of the Committee's staff in preparing for this hearing merits the admiration and thanks of all left-behind American parents. In the midst of an otherwise terrible experience for all such parents, the Committee's work and other recent Congressional initiatives have been among the few rays of hope.

In the June 29, 1998 Washington Post article on the wrongful retention in Germany of Lady Catherine Meyer's children, there was consensus among those quoted that "the system" does not work. Having spent more than $200,000 in Amanda's case litigating against the deep pocket of the Swedish Government in nine different courts in two countries, I fully agree. This Committee is to be commended for trying to find out WHY the system does not work and for being willing to do something about it.

Congress estimated the number of internationally abducted or wrongfully retained American children at 10,000 when it passed the International Parental Crime Act of 1993. With the increasing failures of the Hague Convention on the Civil Aspects of International Child Abduction (less than a thirty percent return rate for American children), the virtual refusal of the U.S. Justice Department to utilize the 1993 Act when Hague remedies are inapplicable or have been exhausted, the worst offending countries rightly emboldened by the present certainty that they generally risk no real-world consequences or even adverse publicity, and the absence of adequate preventive measures, the situation is only getting worse for left-behind parents who play by the rules in both countries concerned. They need to know that foreign government compliance with the international legal obligations they have undertaken in ratifying the Hague Convention and applicable human rights treaties cannot be relied upon.

The principal purpose of this statement, as indicated above, is not only to discuss individual cases or countries, but rather to provide a general description of foreign government support for the abduction and retention of American children, the response of the United States Government, and proposed Congressional actions to assist American children and parents affected by the crime of international parental child abduction and retention. Accordingly, the following information on my daughter Amanda's case and my experience with the Swedish legal and social welfare systems is provided primarily as a case study or as an example of what often confronts left-behind American parents. 1.

While the present overall Swedish legal and social welfare system may well be one of the worst adversaries that a left-behind American parent can face, at least some elements of that system exist in many other countries, especially in European civil law countries. This does not include the United kingdom, of course, which is often cited as a model of how the system should work. In contrast, the Swedish system happens to include all of what could be called the Five Pillars of governmental child abduction and retention: no principle of comity in the legal system, extreme gender or national bias in the courts, payment of unlimited legal fees for the child abductor at home and abroad, no enforceability of civil court orders (including child return orders and visitation orders), and criminal legislation that protects parents who abduct or wrongfully retain children. In a given case, only one of these five "pillars" may be enough to ensure a successful abduction or retention.

Regrettably, Amanda is only one of many American children abducted or wrongfully withheld abroad. As Congress recognized in passing the International Parental kidnapping Crime Act of 1993 ("the 1993 Act"), Amanda's case and Sweden's indefensible conduct are not unique, although the facts and circumstances of Mandy's case are particularly aggravated. Despite the best efforts and intentions of Congress and some individuals in the Executive Branch in recent years to combat the continuing tragedy of international parental child abduction, the fact remains that American parents whose children are abducted or wrongfully retained abroad are all too often up against the full weight of foreign governments (including Parties to the Hague Convention such as Sweden) prepared to supply virtually unlimited financial and other resources (e.g., government child psychiatrists and psychologists) to assist their citizens who abduct or wrongfully retain children. What has happened to Amanda and me can happen to any American citizen, already has happened to many, and will unquestionably happen to more in the future, unless Congress acts to prevent "business as usual" with the governments involved and to provide other remedies. Without the help of Congress along the lines suggested below, more American citizens will continue to be victimized by foreign parents and their governments determined to abduct or retain American children, withhold them abroad, and ignore U.S. and international law. This statement is submitted in the hope that Congress will act quickly and decisively to help other Americans avoid the nightmare to which my family has been subjected. 2.

As a preliminary consideration concerning any child abduction or retention involving Sweden (and most other European civil law countries), it must be noted that children not returned under the Hague Convention are likely to be completely lost to their American parents and families. The parental rights of an American parent may be effectively terminated by the inevitable grant of sole custody to the local national when a court in a European civil law country exercises regular child custody jurisdiction. In Sweden, for example, a non- Swedish, non-custodial parent has no enforceable parental rights. The Swedish legal system and individual judges cannot control the conduct of Swedish parents (or otherwise protect the rights of foreign parents) because there is nothing comparable to contempt of court or any other effective means of enforcing visitation or access under a Swedish custody order. For Amanda, who lived with me half the time for several years and travelled freely with me both in the U.S. and Europe, even supervised visitation in Sweden is totally unenforceable and at the whim and mercy of the child abductor. A new Swedish law entering into effect today, ironically, will permit Swedish judges for the first time to impose joint custody over the objections of one parent. However, just as other seemingly progressive elements of Swedish child custody law and policy only apply when both parents are Swedish (e.g., shifting sole custody away from a parent that withholds a child1 unless, of course, the consequence is that the child leaves Sweden), it is highly unlikely that this new law will be applied in cases involving non- Swedish parents. But even if it were, the terms of any future Swedish joint custody order are just as unenforceable as any visitation awarded under Swedish sole custody orders. Nothing has changed in that regard, although intense and sustained international pressure on Sweden might bring about reforms that include mechanisms comparable to contempt of court.

For the reasons just given, I have spent more than $200,000 of my savings to avoid Swedish custody jurisdiction because of the consequences: a court order that even some U.S. authorities may view as giving the "color of law" to termination of the child's American life and my parental rights. Amanda is not the first American child to be subjected to these violations of her human rights by Sweden, she is not the only one at the moment (e.g., the child of Mark Larson of Orem, Utah and the children of Greg O'Donohue of Burbank, California), and she will definitely not be the last without sweeping reforms of Swedish legislation, policy, and attitudes. As discussed below, Congress can do a great deal to reduce the risks for American children and their parents, while increasing the risks of wrongful conduct for governments like Sweden and their citizens. 3.

Until the Washington Post article mentioned above concerning Lady Meyer appeared on June 29, it is likely that few Washington decision makers and opinion leaders would have thought possible what Germany has done to the relationship between Catherine Meyer and her children. And that is the key point. It is Germany (its governmental, legal, and social welfare systems) that has committed these human rights violations, just as it is Sweden that has done everything possible to destroy Amanda's relationship with her American family, friends, home, and familiar environment in Virginia.

In short, these are NOT "private child custody disputes," as Germany and Sweden try to claim in these cases, and as those who may wish to write off the children concerned and do business as usual with such countries would like to believe. American parents in such cases are often essentially alone against the power and wealth of the governments concerned. Of course, individual parents capable of internationally abducting or wrongfully retaining children are to be found in every country. The question, therefore, is whether their governments will control their conduct and protect the parental rights of foreign parents, especially in light of the international legal obligations of all countries under either (or both) the Hague Convention or human rights treaties that guarantee the role of both parents and the right of children with parents of different nationalities to spend time in both countries.

The disinformation inherent in the false claim of "private child custody dispute" is particularly infuriating to American parents who have spent much of their savings fighting against the deep pocket of a foreign government in both U.S. and foreign courts simply to maintain contact with their children while obeying all applicable laws in both countries. As indicated above but worth repeating, this "private child custody dispute" red herring (an appropriate description taking into account the conduct of some Scandinavian and Northern European countries) also attempts to cover up what can only be described as sophisticated and very well-financed governmental child abduction systems, for example, in some European countries (other than the United kingdom and Ireland) that may include some or all of the following: (1) undeniable bias against foreign parents by the courts (compared to the very high rate of returns of abducted children from the U.S. ordered and enforced by U.S. courts); (2) no enforceable visitation or other parental rights for foreign parents (owing to the absence of anything comparable to our contempt of court); (3) no concept of comity (reciprocal enforcement of foreign court orders, including custody orders agreed to by their nationals); (4) payment of unlimited legal fees for their nationals who abduct or retain children in all litigation at home and in the U.S. (in both Hague Convention and regular custody proceedings); (5) aggressive action by police and prosecutors against foreign parents in enforcing criminal legislation specifically drafted and intended to protect their child abductors/retainers; (6) "address protection" programs that enable abductors/ retainers and the children involved to disappear even from U.S. consular officers, with the aid of the police and social welfare agencies. Because it is nearly impossible for Americans to believe, it must be repeated that, as a practical matter, the exercise of jurisdiction over an abducted or wrongfully retained American child in a regular child custody proceeding by a German or Swedish or Austrian or Danish court (with the inevitable grant of sole custody to the non-American abducting parent) is equivalent to termination of the parental relationship between the child and the American parent. Even if some form of access or visitation is awarded on paper, noncustodial parents have no legally enforceable rights of any kind in such countries. 4.

Cases of abduction and wrongful retention of children by a Swedish parent are not merely "private custody disputes," in view of the lack of effective remedies provided by the Swedish legal and social welfare systems to the left-behind parent and the extensive Swedish government financial, law enforcement, social welfare, and other support supplied to Swedish parents who engage in abduction/retention of children.

In international cases where only one parent is Swedish (particularly where the mother is Swedish), children not returned under the Hague Convention on the Civil Aspects of International Child Abduction are, as a practical matter, completely lost to their non- Swedish parents unless the Swedish mother decides otherwise. This is the result of the Swedish legal system's inability to effectively control the conduct of Swedish parents and protect the rights of non- Swedish parents in the absence of any judicial power comparable to contempt of court. In regular child custody proceedings, Swedish courts invariably grant sole custody to Swedish mothers and, as noted, have no power to enforce visitation for fathers. Even in cases where a foreign parent has sole or joint custody under a non-Swedish custody order and no Swedish custody order exists, there is no concept of comity in the Swedish legal system (despite Sweden's obligation under Article I of the Hague Convention to ensure respect for the rights of custody and access under the law of other States Parties).

Swedish law enforcement authorities have been informed by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs that foreign custody orders "have no validity in Sweden," aggressively interfere with any effort by a foreign parent to exercise his custody rights in Sweden and may arrest and prosecute him under a unique Swedish penal law that effectively protects and rewards Swedish child abductors/retainers. In both Hague Convention and regular child custody litigation in Sweden and abroad (including all possible appeals in Sweden, the other country concerned, and the European system), the Swedish social welfare system provides unlimited payment of legal fees for most Swedish nationals. This exhausts the resources of most non-Swedish parents, and, in any event, Swedish authorities will not enforce or otherwise respect foreign appellate judgments against Swedish parents. Non-Swedish parents with very low incomes may be provided legal aid for proceedings in Sweden, but this does not help anyone with an income of more than $30,000. Moreover, Swedish authorities aggressively seek reimbursement from the left-behind parent for the legal aid and child support it has provided to the abductor. Examples are attached.

In non-Hague cases, as demonstrated by the now leading decision of Sweden's supreme court in the Ascough case during 1997 (children of Australian/British father and Swedish mother residing in Singapore), the Swedish courts will take jurisdiction and award sole custody to a Swedish mother even in cases where the children were born outside of Sweden, clearly reside outside Sweden, have never resided in or even visited Sweden, and were unquestionably abducted to Sweden.

In summary, Sweden's overall legal and social welfare system concerning child custody and parental child abduction/retention does not comply with numerous provisions of human rights treaties to which Sweden is a Party, notably the Convention on the Rights of the Child, the European Convention on Human Rights, and the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights as a result of six factors: the undeniable bias of Swedish courts in favor of Swedish mothers, the absence of anything comparable to contempt of court to enforce visitation for fathers, the unlimited financial support received in Sweden and abroad by Swedish child abductors, enforcement by Swedish law enforcement authorities of a criminal law that effectively protects and rewards Swedish child abductors, the lack of comity with respect to non-Swedish court orders, and the refusal of Sweden to extradite or effectively prosecute Swedish child abductors. Most notably, Sweden's legal and social welfare system are inconsistent with both the letter and spirit of Sweden's obligations under the Convention on the Rights of the Child to ensure contact with both parents and, in international cases, with both countries. Thus, Sweden cannot ensure compliance with the following articles of the Convention: 2, 5, 8, 9, 10, 11, 16, 18, 29, and 35. 5. Amanda's Case

Voluminous documentation concerning Amanda's wrongful retention in Sweden by a Swedish diplomat and the Government of Sweden, as well as information on other American children abducted to Sweden, has already been supplied to Committee staff. An updated chronology of the case is attached to this statement, along with: The unanimous decision of the Virginia Court of Appeals upholding the Virginia Custody Order; The Virginia Supreme Court Order dismissing further appeals; Swedish Government demands for reimbursement of legal fees and child support paid to the abductor; A Swedish criminal law intended and used to protect Swedish child abductors and punish non-Swedish parents who attempt to exercise their custody rights; Photographs showing Swedish police participation in the continuing Federal and state felonies against Amanda and me, and An outline of the Swedish Government's System of supporting and financing parental child abduction. With full support in every conceivable way from the Government of Sweden, Amanda has literally been held hostage in Sweden since early 1995), in violation of: U.S. civil law and court orders to which the mother agreed in open court; U.S. Federal and state criminal law; Sweden's international legal obligations under several treaties (The Hague Convention on the Civil Aspects of International Child Abduction, the Convention on the Rights of the Child, the European Convention on Human Rights, and other human rights instruments); Sweden's own civil and criminal laws on joint custody and child abduction (which are never enforced against Swedish mothers), and The eligibility requirements for payment of all legal fees in Sweden and abroad by the Swedish Government (which are apparently conveniently waived for Swedish abductors). The facts of the case are clear. Amanda, a U.S. citizen and resident from birth (November 11, 1987), is also a Swedish citizen. She was a U.S. Government dependent during her first two years while I was posted at the U.S. Mission in Geneva. Mandy then lived with me in Virginia roughly fifty percent of the time until age 6, attending three years of preschool and kindergarten at Browne Academy in Alexandria, Virginia. She spent the rest of her time in New York with her mother, Anne Franzen, who was the lawyer at the Swedish Consulate with lead responsibility for child abduction and custody matters, and who was actually offered the position of Head of the Swedish Central Authority for the Hague Convention upon leaving New York. Despite being wrongfully withheld outside the U.S. for nearly four years now, Amanda has still lived longer in an American diplomatic community or the U.S. itself than in Sweden. She should have been living again in the U.S. since the spring of 1995 under the agreed terms of a December 1993 Virginia custody order and subsequent enforcement orders, which make clear that Amanda's habitual residence continues to be Virginia, that the Virginia courts have continuing exclusive jurisdiction over her case, and that the parents are prohibited from seeking custody modification in any court anywhere in the world without the consent of the Virginia court.

The case against Anne Franzen (Deputy Assistant Under Secretary for Human Rights in the Swedish Foreign Ministry at the time) was so strong that four Swedish courts either ordered Amanda's return under the Hague Convention or held that Sweden did not have jurisdiction over Amanda because she was only in Sweden temporarily in accordance with the Virginia Custody Order to which the mother had agreed. After endless delays, stays of execution, appeals, and litigation financed for the mother by the Swedish Government in 8 separate proceedings in 6 courts (a Hague process that lasted 17 months instead of the 6 weeks set forth in the Convention), the final court from which there was no appeal (the Swedish Supreme Administrative Court or Regeringsratten) reversed all the lower court rulings in a May 1996 decision declared by the U.S. Government in diplomatic notes to be a violation of the Convention and rejected by the highest courts of Virginia.

On August 9, 1996, with the abducting mother represented by counsel paid by the Swedish Government, the Virginia Court granted me sole and exclusive custody, made contempt findings, and issued several other forms of relief. There has never been a Swedish custody order of any kind concerning Amanda. The Virginia Custody Order remains the only one in the world. But Amanda continues to be wrongfully withheld from me, the rest of her American family, her home and familiar environment, and her country by her mother and by the Government of Sweden through a legal and social welfare system that fails to meet even minimal standards of due process of law (e.g., no rules of evidence and no prohibitions on ex parte communications with judges).

Since December 1995, Amanda has been able to see me on four occasions, for a total of 12 hours. On the second occasion (September 16, 1996), after picking Amanda up at her school as a custodial parent unwilling to subject the two of us to the continued degradation of supervised visitation, I was wrongfully detained in her presence four hours later at our hotel (where I had informed the mother we would be) by four Swedish policemen at the abducting mother's request. I was held in solitary confinement for nearly 48 hours, despite (or actually because of) the fact that I have sole custody under the only Custody Order in the case and have joint custody even under Swedish law. Although I was released, never charged with any offense, and compensated by the Swedish Government for wrongful detention, the incident has done incalculable harm to Amanda and to my relationship with her.

On the third and fourth occasions, in December 1996, I was only allowed to see Mandy under police guard at her school, with the police challenging the presence of the Vice Consul from the American Embassy on one occasion and making a further mockery of my joint custody "rights" in Sweden (see attached photographs of Swedish police car at Amanda's school). Amanda and I have not seen each other since that demeaning experience in December 1996. Telephone contact ceased in August 1997. Every element of joint custody has been violated: no school or medical records, no photographs, no information on activities or general welfare have been provided to me. There has been no response to any of the countless letters and packages sent to Amanda for more than a year, and I do not know if they have been received. For the summers of 1997 and 1998, creative efforts by my Swedish and American attorneys to arrange visitation in the United States with guaranteed returns to Sweden (U.S. court orders ARE enforceable) or any type of supervised or unsupervised access in Sweden were summarily rejected by the mother and her attorney. No assistance was provided by the judge now assigned to the case. The judge who previously dismissed the mother's petition for sole custody and upheld the Virginia Order has, not surprisingly, been removed from the case. united states government response to international parental child abduction and wrongful retention of children abroad

Today, when an American parent faces the nightmare of international child abduction or wrongful retention abroad, he or she does so alone in most respects. Legal fees and other expenses can quickly mount to tens of thousands of dollars. A decade after U.S. ratification of the Hague Convention on the Civil Aspects of International Child Abduction, there is still no Central repository of reliable information and expertise in the Executive Branch that can quickly and effectively supply accurate basic data on the legal system, child custody institutions, law enforcement system, social welfare system, legal aid program, and Hague Convention performance of the abductor's country. The left-behind American parent thus has little basis for evaluating the options available.

Some of the information recently supplied to this Committee by the Executive Branch is inaccurate, incomplete, and misleading, particularly the implication that "everybody does it" and that the United States is no better than most other countries. That implication is false. Moreover, the frequent claim that elementary but essential information on a variety of matters concerning foreign legal systems in connection with child abduction or child custody is "not available" to the Executive Branch is discouraging. This information is available and could be obtained without difficulty or expense from American embassies, experts in the field, local attorneys, and American parents who have learned the hard way.

Although all concerned would presumably agree that prevention and deterrence of child abduction or wrongful retention are the ultimate goals, little is being done in this area. Dissemination of information on the key institutions, laws, and child custody practices of other countries is the key to eliminating much of the secrecy and ignorance that leads to successful child abductions and retentions. Countries whose legal systems and child custody institutions guarantee frequent non-compliance with the Hague Convention or no visitation or other rights for American parents need to be publicly identified and analyzed in depth.

As suggested below, effective vehicles such as the annual human rights reports already exist, and Congress has also passed legislation that would require an annual country-by-country Hague Convention compliance report that should be broadened to include cases not resolved within six months, cases involving non-Hague countries, and lists of countries that have any of the 5 Pillars of a governmental child abduction stem mentioned above. Maximum use should be made of the Internet and other established channels in the family law and consular affairs fields to ensure that U.S. courts, attorneys, and parents with children at risk are aware of the likely consequences of an abduction to or wrongful retention in a given country.

Left-behind parents often find themselves more knowledgeable in many ways than those in the Executive Branch who are supposed to help them, especially in view of the fact that case officers now are responsible for around 150 cases, according to a recent statement by the Assistant Secretary of State for Consular Affairs. If those who are supposed to help (or their superiors) are primarily interested in maintaining "good relations" with the other countries concerned or declare that they do not work for the American people but rather for the Secretary of State or are fearful that pressing too hard in a current case will jeopardize assistance from a particular country in future cases, the plight of the children involved and their left-behind parents worsens. In the latter case, such a classic policy of appeasement is no more successful in dealing with child abduction than it has historically been in any other field.

At present, there is no real advocate for left-behind American parents, who must deal with a hostile foreign government and an often unresponsive U.S. Government, whereas foreign parents whose children are abducted or retained in the United States have access to the superb capabilities and staff of the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) because of its role in dealing with "incoming" cases (i.e., abductions to or retentions in the United States). Left-behind American parents would greatly benefit if NCMEC were allowed to play the same role for "outgoing" cases.

There is no monitoring of U.S. litigation financed by foreign governments against left-behind American parents so that U.S. Government statements of interest or amicus curiae briefs can be filed in landmark cases. In fact, this would not require a significant increase in resources. In two recent cases, statements of interest from the U.S. Government of only a page or two would have been invaluable. In one case, the American parent prevailed in upholding a custody order in the highest courts of his state for an abducted child, but only at considerable expense. In the other case, the American parent lost in the 10th Circuit for acting precisely in accordance with U.S. Government policy and advice in Hague Convention cases. In view of the strong dissenting opinion, literally a few sentences in a U.S. Government statement of interest might have made a difference.

In contrast, foreign Central Authorities often work just as hard to assist their nationals who abduct or wrongfully retain children as they do for their nationals who are victims of these offenses. In the case of the Swedish Central Authority, its support of child abduction and wrongful retention include such means as coordination of litigation strategy in Sweden and the U.S. against American parents. This has included creative attempts to a) use the Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction Act in U.S. courts to obtain for Sweden the status of an American state for purposes of jurisdiction and enforcement of Swedish custody orders, and, b) use the mere existence of the 1993 International Parental Kidnapping Crime Act in both Swedish and U.S. courts as a justification for not returning children to the U.S. on the pretext that the Swedish abductor might be prosecuted. Other activities of the Swedish Central Authority have included release of documents and information to Swedish abductors and their attorneys, refusal to respond to important U.S. Central Authority inquiries (a July 1995 Hague Application for access to Amanda and a 6-page memorandum from the U.S. Central Authority in August 1995 have never been formally answered), informing the Swedish police and prosecutors that American child custody orders have no validity in Sweden in contravention of the whole object and purpose of the Hague Convention, translation only of court decisions and other documents favorable to the Swedish abductor, and so on. Such conduct by a foreign government, especially its Central Authority for an international convention againstchild abduction and wrongful retention, should receive the widest possible exposure and censure.

Litigation in the United States financed by foreign governments against Americans who are already the victims of crimes committed by nationals of those governments should at least raise some serious questions about possible abuse of sovereign immunity. For example, the Swedish Government attempts to put a legal gloss on the abductions and wrongful retentions committed by its citizens by pursuing frivolous appeals of U.S. custody orders all the way to the supreme court of the states concerned even when the children have been held hostage in Sweden for years. Roughly four years ago, Julia Larson was abducted to Sweden from Utah for the third time and my daughter Amanda was wrongfully retained in Sweden. Neither child has been in the United States nor been allowed normal contact with their American families, but the Swedish Government has considered it necessary to try to make everything look "legat" by attacking the Utah and Virginia custody orders in extremely expensive and time-consuming litigation. An effort in Virginia to satisfy a money judgment against the abducting mother by garnishing the retainer paid to her attorney was blocked by an affidavit (attached) declaring that all funds held by the law firm are directly from "the Kingdom of Sweden's legal aid agency."

In many respects, an improved United States response requires a change in attitude so that senior officials acknowledge that foreign legal and social welfare institutions which permit the successful commission of crimes against American children and their parents are not "private child custody disputes" or merely the errors of an "independent judiciary." Regarding the latter point, the judges are not particularly independent in some European countries. They become judges relatively early in their careers, do not have life tenure, and depend on the Ministry of Justice for future assignments. In any event, evidence of foreign government involvement in and support for parental child abduction or retention by their nationals should not be ignored.

This Act should either be revised (if that will result in greater willingness of U.S. Attorney's offices to utilize it) or be enforced as it stands when Hague Convention remedies are exhausted or inapplicable, or the left-behind parent so requests. At present, despite the best intentions of Congress, the 1993 Act is not only a failure in helping Americans (there have only been one or two prosecutions nationwide, few indictments, and fewer still provisional arrest requests under the Act), but it has become an effective tool for foreign child abductors and retainers. Under some extradition treaties, it actually creates dual criminality where none existed before, so that American parents who rescue their abducted children can be extradited to countries that refuse to extradite their nationals for parental child abduction or any other offense and also refuse to return children consistently (or at all) under the Hague Convention.

Moreover, to add insult to injury for the victims of child abduction or wrongful retention who know that the Department of Justice will generally not implement the 1993 Act, its mere existence (and the purely theoretical possibility of prosecution of foreign abductors or retainers) is being used against American parents in Hague Convention and regular custody litigation in the U.S. and abroad. Attorneys for child abductors/retainers, including those hired and instructed by foreign governments that are U.S. treaty "partners," have argued that the fear of prosecution under the 1993 Act justifies the denial of applications for return of children under the Hague Convention, as well as refusal of abductors/retainers to appear in U.S. custody proceedings. This latter argument concludes with a demand that U.S. courts defer to the jurisdiction of the foreign court.

That was precisely the argument made in Virginia to the trial court and the Court of Appeals in my daughter's case by the attorney hired by the Swedish Government. Fortunately, the Virginia judge cut through the argument by asking whether the abductor would immediately return to Virginia with the child if given immunity from prosecution. This bad faith argument fared no better in the Court of Appeals. But the argument that the children should not be sent back to the U.S. under the Hague Convention if the local parent faces criminal charges will almost certainly succeed in many foreign courts.

With regard to implementation of the 1993 Act, the approach being taken by some U.S. Attorney's offices concerning the Act cannot possibly be consistent with the intent of Congress. Although the Act places both wrongful removal (or abduction) of a child from the United States and wrongful retention abroad on the same level, as does the Hague Convention, wrongful retention abroad is effectively being read out of the Act by some prosecutors as not serious enough to merit indictment.

Moreover, some prosecutors have unilaterally added as an affirmative defense that a child abductor or retainer is attempting to obtain a local custody order abroad and would already have succeeded so but for Hague Convention proceedings freezing the local custody process. In like manner, some prosecutors are incorrectly asserting that a foreign court order denying return of the child(ren) under the Hague Convention constitutes a defense under the Act. Disregarding the entire object and purpose of the Hague Convention in Article I (respect for the custody laws of other Parties to the Convention), such prosecutors apparently have no difficulty with individuals who clearly violate U.S. court orders and custody rights, as long as they are also attempting to persuade a foreign court to ignore the orders and unilaterally take jurisdiction over the case. In essence, this approach gives immunity from prosecution, so long as abductors are using the legal process in their home country, no matter how corrupt, incompetent, or biased against foreign parents it may be.

Even when Hague Convention remedies are inapplicable or have been exhausted, and thus utilization of law enforcement mechanisms will not jeopardize return of the child(ren), left-behind parents hear a litany of excuses for failure to implement the Act or to use it in any way to pressure abductors into returning the child(ren). The latter approach does not constitute misuse of the criminal process to achieve a civil law objective, as some might argue. Rather, it would constitute use of a criminal law to bring a halt to criminal conduct, which is presumably what Congress intended. At the moment, the point is moot because the 1993 Act is being used far more by foreign governments against Americans than by the U.S. Department of Justice.

In litigation financed by foreign governments, as noted above, its mere existence is cited as a reason not to return children to the United States in European courts and as a reason to defer to European jurisdiction in U.S. courts. Adding to the irony of the general refusal by U.S. law enforcement authorities to implement the 1993 Act is the very aggressive enforcement by some European law enforcement authorities of laws or policies that protect local child abductors and target foreign parents who attempt to exercise their sole or joint custody rights. An example of such a criminal law from the Swedish penal code is attached to this statement. It has been used as a justification for aggressive Swedish police action against several American fathers, including me, as described above.

Ironically, the record of U.S. courts under the Hague Convention in recent years is nearly perfect concerning returns of children to some of the worst violators of the Convention, including Sweden. There have in fact been essentially voluntary returns of children to the United States from such countries. But a determined Swedish or Danish or Austrian or German child abductor/retainer (among others) will almost never have to comply with return orders from their own courts. Again, there are no truly effective means of enforcing civil court orders in European civil law countries, including Hague Convention return orders. Police assistance to enable an American or other non-local parent to take a child out of the country is virtually impossible. Moreover, European abductors/retainers have the possibility of further delaying and frustrating the Hague Convention process by utilizing the European Human Rights Commission and Court in Strasbourg.

Especially in Scandinavia, mothers also increasingly have the option of going "underground" or otherwise stalling long enough to have the case reopened, with the best interests of the child(ren) then being found to require remaining in place because they are fully resettled. Of course, in social welfare States where the governments continue to pay legal fees, child maintenance, and other allowances to child abductors, the authorities can easily find those who go "underground" if they want to.

While a few countries that provide legal aid to both parties in Hague cases without regard to need (e.g., the United Kingdom) may have a valid complaint about the failure of the United States to provide legal aid to anyone, the situation is far worse where a government pays unlimited legal fees at home and abroad for its child abductors, so that left-behind American parents are confronted by the deep pocket of a foreign government not only in foreign courts but also in U.S. courts. The point is that foreign parents are not in any way up against the U.S. Government in abduction cases here.

Several additional preventive and remedial actions by Congress are needed to "level the playing field" for American parents facing off against foreign governments. Congress is faced daily with many competing demands that have serious resource implications. This request does not. It seeks only the requisite political will to accomplish the objectives of better protecting American children from international parental kidnapping, especially when such conduct is directly supported by foreign governments.

Taking into account that the high rate of return from a very few countries (e.g., the United kingdom) makes even the overall return average of thirty percent misleading, the Hague Convention success rate with certain countries is so low that the reality facing many American parents is a stark choice between abandoning their children or conducting a rescue operation. That reality and the country-by-country details behind it need to be comprehensively disseminated to all U.S. courts, family law practitioners, law enforcement authorities, and the general public. proposed congressional actions against international child abduction

Congress may wish to give serious consideration to specific proposed actions listed below in order to accomplish three general objectives: (1) Dissemination of sufficient information to alert U.S. courts, law enforcement authorities, family law practitioners, and parents in bi-national situations concerning the difficulties of gaining the return of American children from particular countries; (2) The sending of a clear worldwide message that the U.S. Government will not tolerate the abduction or wrongful retention of American children under any circumstances and will make foreign governments pay a price if they essentially encourage and reward such conduct through financial and other direct support to abductors; and, (3) Reform of current U.S. law and practice (both civil and criminal) that can work against American citizens, thus aiding and abetting the abduction of American children by foreign citizens and their governments. Under the circumstances, the following proposals do not constitute micro-management. (1) U.S. Central Authority

PROPOSALS: (A) Consider whether it is fair to all parties concerned for the CA to remain in the State Department, taking into account such factors as: training and expertise of personnel; continuity and institutional memory of personnel; number of personnel available; caseload of personnel; legal support available; the balance between child abduction/retention cases and "good relations" in bilateral relations; the role of regional bureaus and American embassies, and general openness and a willingness to provide left-behind American parents with all available information and documentation.

Consider the vital assistance and support for both the U.S. Central Authority and left-behind American parents if the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) is given the same role for "outgoing" cases (i.e., abductions from the U.S. and retentions of American children abroad) as it now has for "incoming" cases.

PROPOSALS: (A) In the "children's rights" section of the annual human rights report on each country, direct that the child custody system be summarized, including gender bias or bias against foreigners based on statistical evidence, enforceability of visitation/access for noncustodial parents (i.e., is there anything comparable to contempt of court?), payment of legal fees for host country nationals in custody or abduction cases, criminal legislation that protects abductors/ withholders, compliance (or not) with the relevant provisions in the Convention on the Rights of Child on the role of both parents, the right of children in international cases to spend time in both countries, etc. The U.S. is not a Party but has signed and complies with the relevant provisions to a far greater extent than most States Parties.

Each year, the annual human rights report is eagerly awaited, widely disseminated, and, unlike most government reports, widely read throughout the world. One important function that the annual human rights reports should perform is prevention, as "human rights advisories" comparable to travel advisories; i.e., to alert potential victims of current and/or ongoing, systemic human rights abuses. If just one child from ANY country is saved from being lost because a judge, attorney, parent, or family friend reads or hears about government-supported child abduction/retention in a given country, then an accurate and complete report will have accomplished something both worthwhile and right. An accurate and complete report on countries such as Sweden would constitute a great service to American and other parents who might be warned in time to avoid losing their children.

If the President signs H.R. 1757, amend Section 1803 (Reporting on Hague Convention Compliance) to cover retention cases and any case not resolved within 6 months, and to include lists of countries that do not have anything comparable to contempt of court and cannot enforce their own civil court orders, that pay the legal fees of their abductors/retainers, that have criminal legislation which effectively protects their abductors/retainers, etc. If the President does not sign the bill, transform Section 1803 into stand-alone legislation with the suggested revisions.

PROPOSAL: Review what type of relationship the United States should have with governments that: are directly engaged in facilitating, financing, otherwise supporting, and rewarding criminal conduct against American citizens; have in place any elements of a governmental child abduction system; have refused return of American children abducted/retained in violation of U.S. law or court orders; have unresolved cases of abduction/retention of American children with no meaningful or enforceable access for the American parent; use their law enforcement authorities aggressively against American parents whose children have been abducted/retained and rarely if ever use them to assist American parents; have failed to compensate American parents of abducted/ retained children for their legal and other expenses, and abuse their sovereign immunity by financing litigation in U.S. courts against American parents while claiming that the cases are private custody disputes and refusing to respect/ enforce results adverse to their citizens.

PROPOSAL: Consider whether the United States should provide assistance against a left-behind American parent in any case where there has been a child abduction/retention in violation of U.S. law or court orders AND whether the United States should provide assistance under any foreign law that criminalizes the attempts of custodial parents (sole or joint) to exercise their parental rights in response to abduction/retention of their child(ren). (e.g., See attached Swedish penal law which has been used against several American parents of abducted/retained children). (5) Child Support Enforcement

PROPOSAL: Prohibit use of FOIA as a basis for refusing release of ANYTHING and EVERYTHING to American parents in child abduction/ retention cases (information, documents, diplomatic and other government-to-government correspondence, etc.) These are not matters of national security; a left-behind American parent has an absolute right to know everything that his government has done or failed to do to obtain the return of the American children concerned.

In an era of budget constraints, it is reasonable for Congress and the American people to ask what U.S. Government interest is more important than protecting our youngest citizens from the impact of crime. And international parental child abduction or wrongful retention of children are crimes, as well as human rights violations. The Hague Convention is a noble effort to remedy criminal conduct by civil means, but all too many countries (notably European civil law countries) knew at the time they ratified the Convention that their basic child custody laws and institutions were (and still are) incompatible with full compliance.

All of us are well aware that there are many ways to lose a child, none of them acceptable. But foreign government support for and participation in the loss of a child is intolerable. To a large extent, these crimes and human rights violations against American children and their parents succeed because the foreign governments concerned are confident that there is simply no downside risk; i.e., no real-world consequences for ignoring or dismissing the U.S. Governments interests and views. This guarantees future cases. As a father who came within 18 hours of regaining his daughter only to have a last-minute stay from a Swedish court change our lives forever, I can only express the hope that this Committee and Congress in general will ensure that there will be consequences in the future for governments that facilitate, finance, otherwise support, and reward the international parental child abduction and wrongful retention abroad of American children.

By the way, I have been sitting here looking at the pictures of your little boy and your little girl, Mr. Sylvester. I happen to be the father of three and grandfather of seven. I have got at least 10 good reasons to thank God that I am not in your place. That is the undergirding of my interest in this thing.

My 6-year-old son Gabriel was lost to an act of international parental abduction on August 19th, 1996. Over the last 773 days, I have been engaged in a battle on many different fronts to ensure his safe return.

As both a father and as the Executive Director and co- founder of the International Child Rescue League, I find it important to hold the proper context in both my case and when I interact with others, and I want to share that with you. It is the mission statement that hangs on our walls of both our east coast office with Mr. John LeBoe in Florida and our west coast office in southern California. It is as follows.

By holding the sacred bond of parent and child in its highest regard, we stand for the rights of all children to receive the love of both their parents. We have faith that all parents really want to do what is best for their children, but realize that sometimes decisions are made out of anger rather than out of love. It is our firm belief that through individual case support of missing and abducted children and by enrolling the people of every nation in this vision, that a miracle is indeed possible. We work toward the day when children everywhere will be blessed with a world in which parental kidnapping is no longer a threat to their growth, development, and stability.

Let us first look at the actual act of parental abduction itself and how it relates to children. The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, who I have a lot of respect for, created a federally funded publication to educate and advise law enforcement officials in their investigation of parental abduction cases, and that publication is called Missing and Abducted Children: A Law Enforcement Guide to Case Investigation and Management. It advises law enforcement personnel who are involved in this type of case as follows, and I quote. "The emotional scarring that is caused by these events," child abduction, "requires that officers recognize family abduction not as a harmless offense where two parents are arguing over who loves the child more, but instead as an insidious form of child abuse."

Now, in 1993 the American people and this Congress spoke their will and passed into law the International Parental Kidnapping Crime Act of 1993 and set something into motion. It states -- and I quote -- "Whoever removes a child from the United States or retains a child outside of the United States with the intent to obstruct the lawful exercise of parental rights shall be fined under this title or imprisoned for not more than 3 years, or both."

Now, according to an August 31st, 1998 news article in the Ventura County Star about my case, Nancy Nayak, who is the Assistant Director of the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, quoted the following, and I quote. "In 1993, case workers estimated about 10,000 children were abducted in the United States and taken abroad in parental abductions. While the exact numbers cannot be determined today, experts acknowledge that it is significantly higher. Also since 1993, approximately 10 arrest warrants have been filed for these parents, and only one has been successfully prosecuted." And we heard a number of 26 today, so the number might be altered a little bit, but it is still just a mere handful, less than 1 percent.

Now, I visited Washington, D.C. In June of this year and I talked to several Members of the Senate and Congress. I have both written and called on the phone and faxed and everything that we have to do as parents to get a hold of you lawmakers. I have been incredibly pleased with the response that I have been getting.

I was told that we were a Nation of laws. I was also informed that laws are created more as a deterrent to crime rather than a punishment for crime. It was also explained to me that the stricter a law is enforced, the higher percentage of compliance is achieved. So, if strict enforcement of laws are a deterrent to crime, then what type of message is our Justice Department giving the American people by prosecuting only 1 one-hundredth of 1 percent of those who violate the International Parental Kidnapping Crime Act of 1993? How effective of a deterrent to the crime of international parental kidnapping is the issuance of a warrant for less than 1 percent of those who violate the International Parental Kidnapping Crime Act of 1993?

Is it any wonder that the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children report that international child abduction out of the United States has tripled since 1986? While some are quick to point that the rise in international marriages in the United States have fueled this dramatic increase, I believe that some, if not most, of this increase can be directly attributed to the inexcusable disregard for enforcement of the International Parental Kidnapping Crime Act of 1993 by our own Justice Department.

In my case, after a long emotional and financial strain, I was able to join the ranks of that less than 1 percent of the cases that resulted in a parental abduction warrant. This was only achieved after a 6-month full background check by the FBI into my own personal affairs, having to fly my present family out from California to Texas to be interviewed by the FBI, and drumming up support through the lawmakers in Congress and local media and thousands of man-hours and at least a hundred letters. I believe it was my persistence that persevered in obtaining this warrant and not the willingness of my U.S. attorney to cooperate.

My son has been abducted into an underground organization in Sweden. I have won the Hague cases in Sweden and have full custody in both the United States and Sweden. The Swedish Government has uncovered conclusive proof that my son was registered in Sweden under a fraudulent birth certificate and a fraudulent United States passport that was obtained as a result of this fraudulent birth certificate. Both the Swedish Government and myself have provided proof beyond a shadow of a doubt of this action. I have requested that my U.S. attorney issue a charge of passport fraud to not avail. Passport fraud, by the way, is extraditable from almost any country. The evidence is included within the handouts.

The Swedish prosecutor indicated that with an issuance of passport fraud, he could expand the scope and search for my son to include obtaining the phone and bank records of those known to be illegally hiding him. Without the passport fraud warrant, he will do nothing. He indicated to my attorney -- I hear this a lot -- that if the United States is not willing to address this issue, then why should Sweden? I think this makes a lot of sense. It is a question we need to ask ourselves. Why should other countries take child abduction seriously if we are not willing to?

Now, if we can prosecute parents who abduct children on more than one crime, then we can increase the chances of extradition. If we can have their passports revoked, then we can have the possibility of deportation which has worked in the past. If we show these other countries that we are serious by our actions and our requests, then they start getting serious about the return of our children. The context very clearly starts here with our own Justice Department. If we do not treat the abduction of our children as a serious matter, then how can we expect those other countries involved to fight for our children's return?

Up until recently, the huddled masses of left-behind parents and their abducted children in their patient suffering. Every day these parents experience the agony that only a parent can feel when their child has been stolen away from them. They become bitter at the indifference they experience from the Government officials that are sworn to uphold the laws of their country. They have been kept at bay by hundreds, perhaps thousands of U.S. Attorneys who refuse to issue international parental abduction warrants. How much longer will the U.S. Justice Department remain deaf to futile cries of these left- behind parents and their abducted children?

The tide is changing left-behind parents of abducted children are standing up and starting to be heard, thanks to lawmakers such as you who are listening. We are crawling out of our isolated existence and realizing that we are no longer alone. We are now networking together and finding we share a common injustice at the hands of our own Justice Department. It is evident that it is the will of the American people to do something drastic about this growing problem, and I am happy to say that I understand that you are listening.

In a recent July 30th, 1998 article in the Los Angeles Daily Journal, featuring my case, Nancy Nayak from the National Center for Missing and Exploited children quoted that "The Hague process is very lengthy and expensive and at best it can take 6 months to a year," not 6 weeks as was quoted to me in the publication that I received from the OCI. "Even with the Hague Treaty, the State Department reports there is only a 30 percent chance of getting your child back." Most of that 30 percent are made up of voluntary returns. In some countries such as Sweden, Germany, and Austria, the percentage rates are far worse.

I can sit here and complain about the Swedish Government who granted the abductor of my son secrecy protection, which is the equivalent of the witness protection program here in the United States, because she presented the Swedish authorities with false documentation and false claims that her life was in danger. I can complain about the lack of police effort in Sweden to find my son when in fact he was attending a local public school three blocks from the police station under his correct name and Swedish ID number. I can even complain about the releasing of police investigation files to the abductor's attorney detailing the scope and the methodology of their search for her. I can complain that the Swedish Government financially assists the abductor, who is an American citizen, with legal aid and welfare, but yet claims to not know where she is. But today is not the forum to complain only about Sweden. I have directly confronted the Swedish Government with these issues and will continue to do so.

We are here today with many other left-behind parents questioning the lack of compliance of our Hague Convention by other countries, as we should, but it is equally disturbing that our own State Department Office of Children's Issues is sending a clear message out to all the Central Authorities involved that we are not adequately concerned for our children. This is shown by the lack of returned correspondence, by their constant turning over of personnel, their ridiculously vague and soft treatment of violations by other Central Authorities, their inherent lack of knowledge and training regarding foreign laws, and their overall lack of concern for the parents they are supposed to support. If I can use my terribly mismanaged case as a barometer as to how the OCI is doing, then I cannot begin to imagine the lack of support that other parents with softer voices are receiving from the OCI.

As I understand it, new counselors have little formal training in their new posts and are taking on an incredible workload. My counselor had 3 days of on-the-job training before taking the post over. After writing to Ms. Ryan, who is here with us today, the Assistant Director of Consular Affairs, about these concerns, she indicated that a counselor handles between 140 and 150 cases. I know these parents here could join me in knowing that handling one case is almost too much. How could anyone handle that many cases? It is impossible. It is an impossible workload even for an experienced counselor who has been in their post for a couple of years. But to turn that level of workload over to an inexperienced person with no formal training is tragic because it concerns the welfare of missing and abducted children, and each mistake that they make, each lack of quick action, each unanswered correspondence directly relates to a child's life. The Department is left to relearn the lessons that they have already learned. The price paid for those lessons were the souls and the loss of childhood that countless numbers of past abducted children have already paid.

Now are we to rob countless others again because we simply have an inefficient system of inadequate training that clearly does not work? It is perfectly clear to me that we have a very serious problem here, and it is our children who will once again pay the price. Please name another area within the State Department that handles a commodity that is more precious than our children.

As a world leader, other nations look to us for that leadership and to deliver an example in which to follow. It is any wonder that we have such a problem with Hague Convention compliance abroad? If we are sending out a message that we are soft on the international parental abduction of our own children, then how can we possibly expect other countries to hold the higher standard that is going to be necessary to increase returns above 30 percent? Every child who is not returned is subject to a flagrant violation of their human rights as American citizens. 7 out of every 10 children abducted out of this country through the Hague Convention will never again see American soil.

First of all, we need strict enforcement by the Justice Department of the International Kidnapping Crime Act of 1993. 1 one-hundredth of 1 percent prosecution rate is inexcusable, and it sends a message out to every parent who is thinking about abducting their child that no one is going to prosecute them. It makes international child abduction a viable option for every parent who is going through a divorce, and it needs to stop.

We need a person right here in Washington, D.C. At the Justice Department's Office of International Affairs who has the sole job to be in charge of international parental kidnapping. If we are having 1,200 kids leaving a year out of this country -- or more -- 1,200 cases, then I would think that would warrant having an individual in charge of that. They would provide a consistency that we do not have now for left- behind parents to get a universal answer and a solution to their problems and a forum for U.S. Attorneys to ask the needed questions that they need to know.

We need to have every international abduction case broadcasted worldwide. In a bold and heroic effort by the International Broadcasting Bureau of the U.S. Information Agency, a program is now underway to broadcast our search for these fugitives who abduct our children. These broadcasts represent a two-front war against international abductions and illustrates one attempt of direct action by the U.S. Government to solve this problem. I am happy to say that I am seeing a branch of the U.S. Government that is taking action, and I applaud them.

This first front offers a very real chance to provide the international public with the information needed to effect the successful returns of these abducted children, but the second front represents a much larger stage for a much larger picture. These broadcasts will serve as a forum for the United States to deliver how serious they intend to deal with international abduction of their children.

Mr. Charles Goolsby and the International Broadcasting Bureau of the U.S. Information Agency is to be commended for their valiant effort toward assisting in the return of these abducted children and should stand as an example of what real change looks like for all Justice Department officials everywhere.

I agree with Tom Johnson that we need to move the Office of Children's Issues from the State Department to the Civil Branch of the Justice Department or to a private organization such as the National Center for missing and Exploited Children who are pioneers in this field. If that is not possible, then we need to do what we need to do to at least double the number of counselors handling existing cases. 140 to 150 cases per counselor is unmanageable, and it is our children that suffer.

We need to have studies into individual compliance records of each country which we deal with. We absolutely should not pass any further treaties with countries who are not currently in compliance with the Hague Convention because if they are not supporting our end of the treaties at this point, what makes us think that they are going to comply with mutual legal assistance treaties?

We should impose some further duty on imports from countries that put money into a fund to help these searching parents who are taxed hundreds of thousands of dollars looking for their children in relationship to how flagrantly the countries violate the Hague Convention.

In closing, again I want to acknowledge that I am not a lawyer, that I am not an attorney, that I am not a lawmaker. I guess by right I was invited here because I am the father of Michael and Gabriel and a man that has been involved in a 2\1/ 2\ year struggle to get them back. I pray that we can create the miracle that I discussed in the beginning of this testimony here today by starting the ball rolling and by all of us changing the way in which we think about international parental abduction and to send a very strong and serious message out as the world leaders that we are not going to stand for it anymore. Even if we put an extradition request out there and it will not be honored, the context of us putting it out creates action.

My 6-year-old son Gabriel was lost to an act of International Parental Abduction on August 19, 1996. Over the last 773 days I have been engaged in a battle on several fronts for his safe return. As both a father and as an executive director and co-founder of the International Child Rescue League, I find it important to hold the proper context in both my case and interacting with others. Our mission statement is as follows: By holding the sacred bond of parent and child in its highest regard, we stand for the right of all children to receive the love of both their parents. We have faith that all parents really want to do what is best for their children, but realize that sometimes decisions are made out of anger rather than love. It is our firm belief, that through individual case support of missing and abducted children and by enrolling the people of every nation in this vision, that a miracle is indeed possible. We work toward the day when children everywhere will be blessed with a world in which parental kidnapping is no longer a threat to their growth, development, and stability. I am here today in support of that miracle. One dictionary defines a miracle as "an event believed to be an act of God or of a supernatural power." I contend that a miracle is a shift in one's perception or their thinking. If we can start to change the way we all think about International Child Abduction then we can indeed create a miracle here today. justice department

Lets first look at the actual act of parental abduction itself and how it relates to children. The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children created a federally funded publication to educate and advise law enforcement officials in their investigation of parental abduction cases called Missing and Abducted Children: Law Enforcement Guide to Case Investigation and Management. It advises law enforcement officers as follows: The emotional scarring caused by these events requires that officers recognize family abduction, not as a harmless offense where two parents are arguing over who "loves the child more," but instead as an insidious form of child abuse. In 1993, the American people and this Congress spoke their will and passed into law the International Parental Kidnapping Crime Act of 1993. It states, and I quote, Whoever removes a child from the United States or retains a child outside the United States with intent to obstruct the lawful exercise of parental rights shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more that 3 years, or both. According to a August 31, 1998 newspaper article in the Ventura County Star about my case, Nancy Nayak who is the Assistant Director of the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, quoted the following: In 1993, case workers estimated about 10,000 children were abducted in the United States and taken abroad in parental abductions. While the exact numbers can not be determined today, experts acknowledge that it is significantly higher. Also since 1993, only 10 arrest warrants have been filed for these parents, and only one has been successfully prosecuted. I visited Washington DC in June of this year and talked to several members of the Senate and Congress. I was told that we are a nation of laws. I also was informed that laws are created more as a deterrent to crime rather than a punishment for crime. It was also explained to me that the stricter a law is enforced, the higher percentage of compliance is achieved. So if strict enforcement of laws are a deterrent to crime, then what type of message is our Justice Department giving the American people by prosecuting only 1/100th of 1 percent of those who violate the International Parental Kidnapping Crime Act of 1993? How effective of a deterrent to the crime of International Parental Kidnapping is the issuance of a warrant for 1/10th of 1 percent of those who violate the International Parental Kidnapping Crime Act of 1993?

Is it any wonder that the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children report that International Child Abduction out of the United States has tripled since 1986? While some are quick to point that the rise in international marriages in the United States have fueled this dramatic increase, I believe that some, if not most, of this increase can be directly attributed to the inexcusable disregard for enforcement of the International Parental Kidnapping Act of 1993 by our Justice Department.

In my case after a long emotional and financial drain, I was able to join the ranks of the 1/10th of 1 percent of the cases that result in a warrant. This was only achieved after a 6 month full background check into my affairs, having to fly my present family out from California to Texas for an FBI interview, drumming up support from my Congressman and local media and thousands of man hours and at least one hundred letters. I believe it was my persistence that persevered and not the willingness of my U.S. Attorney to cooperate.

My son has been abducted into an underground organization in Sweden. I have won my Hague cases in Sweden and have full custody in both the United States and Sweden. The Swedish Government has uncovered conclusive proof that my son was registered in Sweden under a fraudulent birth certificate and a fraudulent United States Passport that was obtained with this fraudulent birth certificate. Both the Swedish Government and myself have provided proof beyond a shadow of a doubt of this action. I have requested that the U. S. Attorney issue a charge of Passport Fraud to no avail. The evidence is included within the handouts of the written account of my testimony.

The Swedish prosecutor indicated that with an issuance of passport fraud he could expand the search for my son to include obtaining the phone and bank records of those known to be illegally hiding my son. Without the Passport Fraud warrant he will do nothing. He indicated to my attorney, that if the United States is not willing to address this issue then why should the Swedes. His request makes sense. Why should other countries take child abduction seriously if we are not willing to?

If we can prosecute parents who abduct on more than one crime, then we can increase the chances of extradition. If we can have their passports revoked, then we have the possibility of deportation which has worked in the past. If we show these other countries that we are serious by our actions and requests, then they start getting serious about the return of our children. The context very clearly starts here with our own Justice Department. If we don't treat the abduction of our children as a serious matter, than how can we expect those other countries involved to fight for our children's return.

Up until recently, the huddled masses of left behind parents and their abducted children have been isolated in their patient sufferance. Every day these parents experience the agony only a parent can feel when their child has been stolen away. They become bitter at the indifference they experience from the government officials sworn to uphold the laws of their country. They have been kept at bay by hundreds, perhaps thousands, of U.S. Attorneys who refuse to issue International Parental Abduction Warrants. How much longer will the United States Judicial System remain deaf to the futile cries of these left behind parents and their abducted children?

The tide is changing. Left behind parents of abducted children are standing up and starting to be heard. We are crawling out of our isolated existence and realizing that we are not alone. We are now networking together and finding we share a common injustice at the hands of our own Justice Department. It is evident that it is the will of the American people to do something drastic about this growing problem.

In a recent July 30, 1998 article in the Los Angeles Daily Journal (a well recognized legal newspaper) featuring my case, Nancy Nayak from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children quoted that, "The Hague process is very lengthy and expensive and at best it can take from 6 months to a year" (not six weeks as quoted by the publication I received from the OCI). She further states, "Even with the Hague Treaty, the State Department reports there is only a 30 percent chance of getting your child back." Most of that 30 percent are made up of voluntary returns. In some countries, such as Sweden, Germany, and Austria, the return rate is even worse. I was never informed that my chances of getting my son back via the Hague Convention are less than 30 percent. Is that level of return acceptable to the United States?

I can sit here and complain about the Swedish Government who granted the abductor of my son secrecy protection (the equivalent to our witness protection program) because she presented the Swedish authorities with false documentation and false claims that her life was in danger. I can complain about the lack of police effort in Sweden to find my son, when in fact he was attending a local public school three blocks from the police station under his correct name and Swedish ID number. I can complain about the releasing of police investigation files to the abductor's attorney detailing the scope and methodology of their search for her. I can complain that the Swedish Government financially assists the abductor, who is an American citizen, with legal aid and welfare but yet claims they do not know her location. This is not the forum to complain about Sweden. I have directly confronted the Swedish Government with these issues and will continue to do so. Already, some changes are taking place.

We are here today with many left behind parents questioning the lack of compliance of the Hague Convention by other countries, as we should, but it is equally disturbing that our own State Department Office of Children's Issues is sending a clear message out to all the Central Authorities involved that we are not concerned about our children. This is shown by their lack of return correspondence, their constant turning over of personal, their ridiculously vague and soft treatment of violations by other Central Authorities, their inherent lack of knowledge and training regarding foreign laws, and their overall lack of concern for the parents they are supposed to support. If I use my terribly mismanaged case as a barometer as to how the OCI is doing, then I can't begin to imagine the lack of support other parents with softer voices are receiving from the OCI.

As I understand it, new consulars have little formal training in their new post and are taking on an incredible work load. My consular had three days of on the job training before taking the post over. After writing to Mary A. Ryan, the Assistant Director of Consular Affairs about these concerns, she indicated that a consular handles between 140 to 150 cases. This is an impossible workload even for an experienced consular who has been in that post for two years. To turn over that level of workload to an inexperienced person with no formal training is tragic because it concerns the welfare of missing and abducted children and each mistake, each lack of quick action, each unanswered correspondence directly affects a child's life. The Department is left to relearn the lessons already learned. The price paid for those lessons were the souls and the loss of childhood that the countless numbers of past abducted children have already paid. Now are we to rob countless others again because we simply have an inefficient system of inadequate training that clearly doesn't work? It is perfectly clear to me that we have a very serious problem and it is our children who will once again pay the price. Please name another area within the State Department that handles a commodity more precious than our children.

Other nations look to us for world leadership and to deliver an example in which to follow. It is any wonder that we have such a problem with Hague compliance abroad? If we are sending out a message that we are soft on the international parental abduction of our children, than how can we expect other countries to hold the higher standard necessary to increase returns above 30 percent? Every child who is not returned is subject to a flagrant violation of their human rights. Remember 7 out of 10 children will never see American soil again.

Our miracle here is for the United States to stand as a world leader with an aggressive context that we are not going to stand for the abduction of our children. This can be put forth by every State Department official in every letter and phone call. We must change the way in which we lead the world for the benefit of our children. solutions

We need to have every international abduction case broadcasted worldwide. In a bold and heroic effort by the International Broadcasting Bureau of the United States Informational Agency, a program is now under way to broadcast our search for these fugitives who have abducted our children. These broadcasts represent a two front war against international abductions and illustrates one attempt of direct action by the United States Government to solve this problem. The first front offers a very real chance to provide the international public with the information needed to affect the successful returns of these abducted children but the second front sets the stage for a much larger picture. These broadcasts will serve as a forum for the United States to deliver how serious they deal with the international abduction of their children. Mr. Charles Goolsby and the International Broadcasting Bureau of the United States Informational Agency is to be commended for their valiant effort towards assisting in the return of these abducted children and should stand as an example for all Justice Department officials everywhere.

We need to move the Office of Children's Issues from the State Department to the Civil Branch of the Justice Department or to a private organization such as the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. If that is not possible, we need to at least double the number of consulars handling these cases.

Now what I hope is good news. I have been interested in this matter for a long time. Senator Biden just leaned over to me and said we have got to get the State Department off the dime.

Let me say in defense of a lady who does not belong to the same party that I do, but the Attorney General has mentioned this thing to me voluntarily at functions which she and I have attended. One of them was a state dinner. I know it is on her mind, and I know she wants to do something. This Government is so big, unless people make themselves heard, as you have, nothing much happens. But something is going to happen and I think Joe Biden feels the same way about it.

The second point I would like to make is, since the cases are different, some of the action we can take legislatively and by attempting to change interpretations of treaties would help some of you, would not help others of you. There is not a single legislative solution that would solve all four of your problems, and you represent all the same end result but four different circumstances.

Well, in reality, if I can clarify, the Supreme Court -- there is, was, and will always remain a valid and final order under the Hague Convention Treaty to return Carina to the United States. The distinction is on the second round, when the Supreme Court received the review about a year later, what they have decided is to not enforce their valid and final order for return. Perhaps a subtle difference, but I think a distinction. They did not reverse themselves.

The bottom line is under the treaty they are allowed to conclude the child has become settled, so you are at a disadvantage legally compared to where you were legally before you were at substantive disadvantage from the day this began.

Case in point. Yours, sir, seems to me to be an easy one for us. I am not as gentlemanly, and I mean this sincerely, and I am not as subtle as the chairman. I think the chairman and I should tell the Secretary of State and the Attorney General very simply, if the facts as you stated them to us are true and that is that the State Department -- this passport fraud has occurred, then I am prepared to say to the Secretary of State personally and to the Attorney General personally, if the chairman is willing to do this, if you do not issue that forthwith, immediately, the next 48 hours, you are going to play hell with me on every single thing you want, everything you want. I imagine we can get their attention. That is a relatively easy thing for us to do.

Now, it is much more difficult for us to solve the other problems that are here. It does not mean they are not able to be solved. What I am suggesting to you is that you have raised -- and I particularly appreciate, Mr. Johnson, your specific recommendations as to how to better facilitate the application of American law in a fair implementation of the Hague Treaty. All of you have made specific recommendations.

I know we are going to have to go vote in just a second, so I will not take any more of the chairman's time except to say this. Where there is a specific, explicit thing we can do, like that old joke about the way you get the donkey's attention is a 2 by 4 across the head, where that works, I am willing to apply the 2 by 4. It seems to me, subject to my independently verifying what you have told us, that a 2 by 4 may work in your case. It is going to take a little bit more in the other three cases.

But I am prepared to work with the chairman and with the Senator from Ohio to figure out how we make the Government -- we provide the agencies in question with the manpower and resources so they cannot say that it was a lack of resources, they cannot say it was a lack of support that they were getting for them to do their job. If that includes moving from one Department to another, I am willing to entertain that as well.

I completely agree with you. Each of our individual cases are different, but we have one point in common, that in all our cases our children were not returned to our countries for different reasons. But since then, because we are dealing with particular countries that do not have enforcement of access rights, none of us have been able to see our children, and I think that is a very, very unfortunate issue, not only the non return of the children, but access.

Lady Meyer. I can list which countries. In France, for instance, if there is no access, the parent is immediately arrested, put in jail. In Britain, access is also enforceable. In Germany, Austria, I think Sweden and Denmark, it is not, and that is another huge issue for us.
