  • 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.

  • Diplomatic Immunity Number: 610
    TAKOMA PARK POLICE DEPARTMENT - GENERAL ORDERS TITLE: DIPLOMATIC IMMUNITY NUMBER: 610 EFFECTIVE DATE: August 6, 2012 REVIEW DATE: August 16, 2022 New X Amends Rescinds Dated March 23, 2002 AUTHORITY: TOTAL PAGES: Chief Drew Tracy 8 01 Purpose: To establish guidelines that ensure the department’s enforcement procedures conform to federal law regulating diplomatic immunity. 02 Policy: It is departmental policy to support the principles of international law and to extend privileges and immunity, when warranted, to members of foreign diplomatic missions and consular posts. However, the department also recognizes that most such privileges and immunity are not absolute and, therefore, will assure the appropriate degree of immunity is afforded once the immunity claimant has been precisely identified. The department will further maintain its fundamental responsibility to protect the public welfare in connection with criminal law enforcement actions involving foreign diplomatic personnel. Foreign diplomats who violate traffic laws shall be cited. Allegations of serious crime or other serious difficulties with diplomatic or consular personnel will be fully investigated, promptly reported to the U.S. Department of State, and procedurally developed to the maximum permissible extent. 03 Background: Departmental policy and procedures relative to diplomatic immunity is drawn from publication 9533, “Guidance for Law Enforcement Officers,” issued by the United States Department of State (USDS). Dealing with diplomatic immunity poses particular problems for law enforcement officers, and officers may react improperly if they do not understand its purposes or rules. Diplomatic immunity is a well-established doctrine of international law. In general, diplomats, their families, and their staff enjoy complete immunity from the criminal laws of the host nation.

  • Dean of the Diplomatic Corps
    Dean of the Diplomatic Corps Dean of the Honorary Consular Corps Excellencies, Members of the Diplomatic Corps Members of the Honorary Consular Corps Special Guests Ladies and Gentlemen Friends, Good Afternoon, A small rudder on a huge ship in the hands of a skilled captain sets a course in the face of the strongest winds. 1. This is the aspiration of the pragmatic Foreign Policy of The Bahamas, and the lessons from the opportunities of interaction in the global arena despite its many challenges. These challenges include, not least, the economic and financial crises with which a majority of States continues to grapple, including The Bahamas, and, the “hot spots” and “hot issues” from which no State is ultimately immune in an interdependent world. This is, therefore, the backdrop of this year for my reflections with you, on the focus, conduct and promulgation of the Foreign Policy of The Bahamas for 2011. I shall also this time attempt to be a bit ambitious and reveal some hopes for the future. Excellencies, Honorary Consuls, Ladies and Gentlemen, Diplomatic and Consular Representation 2 I shall begin, however, with an update on an overview of The Bahamas Diplomatic and Consular Representation. We bid farewell to various members of the resident Diplomatic Corps, namely Ambassadors Guggenheim of Brazil, HU of China, Ponce of Cuba, and, Avant of the United States. We have had the pleasure of welcoming to the Diplomatic Community, Resident Ambassadors Veras, HU and Guzman of Brazil, China and Cuba, respectively. We look forward to the continuation of our productive relationship and the advancement of our mutual interests with these most recent, and with you all.

It looks at State practice, including the case-law. It also considers the work of the ILC and the literature. Three separate heads of immunity may come into play in the case of any particular official visit: the immunity ratione personae of holders of high-ranking office; “official act” immunity; and the immunity of offi- cial visitors, including those on special missions.

  • Legal Regime of Persona Non Grata and the Namru-2 Case
    Journal of Law, Policy and Globalization www.iiste.org ISSN 2224-3240 (Paper) ISSN 2224-3259 (Online) Vol.32, 2014 Legal Regime of Persona Non Grata and the Namru-2 Case Marcel Hendrapati* Law Faculty, Hasanuddin University, Jalan Perintis Kemerdekaan, Kampus Unhas Tamalanrea KM.10, Makassar-90245, Republic of Indonesia * E-mail of the corresponding author: [email protected] Abstract Just like the diplomatic immunity principle, the principle of persona non grata aims to ensure justice for both the state seeking to evict a diplomat (receiving state) and the state whose diplomat is being evicted (sending state). This is because both principles can guarantee the dignity and equality of sovereign states when resolving issues in international relation. Not every statement of persona non grata has to culminate in expulsion because a statement may be issued by the receiving state both after the diplomatic agent has started performing his functions and even before he arrives at the receiving state. If such a statement is followed by the expulsion of the diplomat, it should be based on article 41 of the Vienna Convention, 1961 (infringement on laws of receiving state and/or espionage actions). Also, expulsion may occur due to war and severance of diplomatic relation between two states. Indonesia has had to deal with issues of persona non grata on several occasions both as receiving and sending state. This paper analyses several cases of declaration of persona non grata involving several countries, especially Indonesia in order to give a better understanding of how the declaration of persona non grata plays out between states, and the significance of the Vienna Convention of 1961 on diplomatic relations.

  • DIPLOMATIC and CONSULAR LAW Right of Legation
    DIPLOMATIC AND CONSULAR LAW Right of legation/ Right of Diplomatic Intercourse It is the right of the state to send and receive diplomatic missions, which enables states to carry on friendly intercourse. It is governed by the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations (1961). The exercise of this right is one of the most effective ways of facilitating and promoting intercourse among nations. Through the active right of sending diplomatic representatives and the passive right of receiving them, States are able to deal more directly and closely with each other in the improvement of their mutual intercourse. NOTE: As the right of legation is purely consensual, the State is not obliged to maintain diplomatic relations with other States. If it wants to, a State may shut itself from the rest of the world, as Japan did until the close of the 19th century. Disadvantage: A policy of isolation would hinder the progress of a State since it would be denying itself of the many benefits available from the international community. Agents of diplomatic intercourse 1. Head of State 2. Foreign secretary or minister 3. Members of diplomatic service 4. Special diplomatic agents appointed by head of the State 5. Envoys ceremonial Diplomatic corps It is a body consisting of the different diplomatic representatives who have been accredited to the same local or receiving State. It is headed by a doyun de corps, who, by tradition, is the oldest member within the highest rank or, in Catholic countries, the papal nuncio. Functions of a diplomatic mission (Re-P-Pro-N-A-R) 1.

ABSTRACT Regional governments can be international actors. This phenomenon of regional governments developing international relations, often called ‘paradiplomacy,’ has been most visible in Western industrialized liberal- democracies. In thinking about paradiplomacy in developing and post- communist countries, considering the experience of regions such as Quebec, Catalonia, the Basque Country, Flanders and Wallonia could be instructive for understanding the logic of this activity, highlighting key choices that need to be made, and pointing out potential challenges stemming from the development by sub-state units of international relations. This paper begins by distinguishing between three layers of paradiplomacy and makes the argument that paradiplomacy can be a multifunctional vehicle for the promotion of interests and identity. It then discusses the various choices that have to be made when developing a paradiplomacy, including designing new structures and selecting partners.
