The Caribbean
Corruption. Guyana is a party to the Inter-American Convention Against Corruption, but has yet to implement fully its provisions. Allegations of corruption are widespread, and reach to high levels of government, but continue to go uninvestigated. The swearing-in by the GPF of a reputed drug lord and several of his cohorts as special constables raises serious questions about the integrity of the force. In May, 120 kilograms of marijuana were seized aboard the GDFCG flagship “Essequibo” which was in Barbados for the international “Tradewinds” exercise. The drugs had been smuggled aboard by an off-duty GDFCG crewman, who is in custody pending completion of a Preliminary Inquiry. Available evidence suggests that the case may go to trial in the High Court. There were no other arrests or prosecutions for drug-related corruption in 2003. ... [Read More]

North American Airlines is the only U.S. Flag Carrier serving post. This airline currently operates four flights weekly from JFK New York to Georgetown: ... Foreign Flag Carrier, BWIA, the air carrier frequently used by USG employees, has advised that there are no specific size restrictions for cages to transport pets on their aircraft.
