Consular and Trade Offices
Consular and Trade Offices Governments from throughout the world have consular offices and trade representation in greater Atlanta, Macon, and Savannah. Consular offices are established by foreign governments 1) to officially develop economic, commercial, scientific and cultural relations between the country they represent and the area in which they serve, and 2) to safeguard the interests of the sending country and its citizens traveling or residing in their consular district. Traditionally these duties include issuing and renewing passports and other official documents, helping travelers in distress, signing death certificates, legalizing or delivering official documents, and assisting travelers in trouble with local law enforcement or immigration authorities. Large consular offices often support cultural affairs and/or trade and investment, as well. Seventy countries are represented in Georgia, with twenty-five career consulates, forty-eight honorary consular offices and more than one dozen dedicated trade and investment agencies. Career officials are members of their country’s foreign (diplomatic) or commercial service, while honorary officials are local residents appointed by foreign governments to perform consular duties. The Dean of the Consular Corps, currently Mr. Steve Brereton, Consul General of Canada, is traditionally the career official with the longest tenure. More than a dozen foreign governments have independent operations in Atlanta with a mission to promote trade and/or investment between their countries or regions and Georgia and the Southeast U.S. ALBANIA Honorary Consulate General of the Republic of Austrian Trade Commission Southern Region Office Albania 3333 Riverwood Parkway, Southeast, Suite 200 310 Somerplane Pl, Atlanta, Georgia 30339 Avondale Estates, GA 30002 Phone: (678) 401-2870 Phone: (404) 299-6803 Web: www.advantageaustria.org Email: [email protected] Email: [email protected] Ambassador Theodore R.

Notification of Honorary Consular Officers
The Secretary of State presents his compliments to Their Excellencies and Messieurs and Mesdames the Chiefs of Mission and has the honor to refer to the establishment and maintenance of consular posts headed by honorary consular officers. The United States Government appreciates that honorary consular officers provide important services both to the governments which they represent and to United States citizens and entities. Nevertheless, for reasons previously communicated to the missions, United States Government policy requires that the maintenance and establishment of consular posts headed by honorary consular officers must be supported by documentation which makes it possible for the Department of State to be assured that meaningful consular functions will be exercised by honorary consular officers on a regular basis and that such consular officers come under the supervision of, and are accountable to, the governments which they represent. The Secretary informs the Chiefs of Mission that requests for the opening or maintenance of honorary consular posts should include a completed form DS-2005, - 2 - "Notification of Appointment of Honorary Consular Officer," and curriculum vitae (if available) for the applicant as well as all information requested in enclosure A of this note. These materials should be submitted to the Office of Protocol, State Annex-33, 3507 International Place, N.W., Washington D.C. 20008-3034. Upon approval, the Department will issue a letter advising the embassy of its agreement to the opening or maintenance of the post and confirming that the honorary consular officer has been recognized. The Department will not prepare an additional response to any letters or diplomatic notes accompanying such requests.

Chapter 8: Honorary Consular Officers
Guidelines for the Diplomatic and Consular Corps 2019 8. Honorary Consular Officers 8.1 Establishment of Consular Posts Headed by Honorary Consuls The establishment of a Consular Post in New Zealand requires the New Zealand Government’s prior consent and its approval of the location, classification and consular district, in accordance with Articles 4 and 68 of the VCCR. This includes Consular Posts that are to be headed by an Honorary Consular officer. Any proposal to establish a consular post headed by an Honorary Consul should be supported by an explanation of the scope and volume of consular services to be provided by the post. The New Zealand Government will accept the appointment of Honorary Consuls if it is confident there is a need for the services to be provided by such officers. Since 2017, the New Zealand Government has no longer accepted appointments with the title ‘Honorary Consul-General’, nor the promotion of ‘Honorary Consul’ to ‘Honorary Consul-General’. Those officers who currently hold the title of Honorary Consul-General may maintain their title until the end of their tenure. From August 2018, the New Zealand Government will no longer accept appointments as ‘Honorary Vice-Consuls’. Those staff members who currently hold the title of Honorary Vice-Consul may maintain their title until the end of their tenure. The practice in New Zealand is for all Consular Posts to be classified as such, without the term ‘Honorary’ being used (as against the use of ‘Honorary’ attached to the individual who may head such a post). However, the New Zealand Government expects Honorary Consuls to use the correct personal title (use of “Honorary”) to distinguish themselves from career consuls.

Legal Status of the Honorary Consular Officers: Theory and Practice in Latvia
SHS Web of Conferences 68, 01023 (2019) https://doi.org/10.1051/shsconf/20196801023 Int. Conf. SOCIETY. HEALTH. WELFARE. 2018 Legal status of the honorary consular officers: Theory and practice in Latvia Janis Grasis R¯ıga Stradin¸š University, Faculty of Law, Riga, Latvia Abstract. Honorary consuls are not professional diplomats, it means, they do not make a living as diplomats. They usually do live and work as well as pay taxes in the country where they operate while they do represent their native country on a voluntary/not-salaried/ basis until their appointments are revoked. Honorary consuls have limited authorization to act and conduct on behalf of their native country; they have the honour to serve their respected country and they are usually selected/appointed by their merits. Legal regime relating to honorary consular officers and consular posts headed by such officers is regulated by Vienna Convention on Consular Relations from 1963. According to the Article 59 of the mentioned convention the receiving State shall take such steps as may be necessary to protect the consular premises of a consular post headed by an honorary consular officer against any intrusion or damage and to prevent any disturbance of the peace of the consular post or impairment of its dignity. Similarly, the receiving State is under a duty to accord to an honorary consular officer such protection as may be required by reason of his official position. If criminal proceedings are instituted against an honorary consular officer, he must appear before the competent authorities. Comparative and analytical research methods are used for this paper.

Legal Status of the Honorary Consul
LEGAL STATUS OF THE HONORARY CONSUL MIROSŁAW DELA* INTRODUCTION In addition to the consular service, consisting of officials exercising their functions professionally, the practice has developed of appointing so- called honorary consuls1, who are not permanent officials of the sending State and do not receive remuneration2. This institution has its roots in the ancient Greek proxen3, who exercised custody of foreign nationals without remuneration4. The development of the institution of honorary consul took place in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries5. It proved to be DOI: 10.1515/wrlae-2015-0007 *Ph.D candidate at Department of Business and Commercial Law, Faculty of Law, Administration and Economics, Wroclaw University; [email protected]. 1 The title of honorary consul (consul honorarius) has been granted by the emperor since Roman times, but is not connected with the exercise of any specific official functions, Julian Sutor, Leksykon dyplomatyczny (Warsaw 2010) 217. 2 Honorary consuls usually serve without salary, and are only offered reimbursement for some of their expenses, Kevin D. Stringer, ‘Honorary Consuls in an Era of Globalization, Trade, and Investment’ in Jan Melissen, Ana Mar Fernández (eds), Consular Affairs and Diplomacy (Leiden 2011) 76. They may, however, in contrast to the career consuls conduct other gainful activity. See Wojciech Góralczyk and Stefan Sawicki, Prawo międzynarodowe publiczne w zarysie (Warsaw 2009) 288 and 289. 3 Proxenos, proxen (Greek: for guest, host) - in ancient Greece, a polis citizen acting as a guardian for newcomers from another polis. He was not a messenger of the State whose citizens he helped.

The facts seem rather clear: your client entered into a contract to print membership directories for a group of consuls calling themselves "The Consular Corps of Main City." The invoice remains unpaid by both the group's treasurer and the consul with whom your client was dealing.
