Consular and Trade Offices in Georgia Consular and Trade Offices in Georgia Governments from throughout the world have consular offices and trade representation in greater metropolitan 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 who have trouble with local law enforcement or immigration authorities. Larger consular offices often have missions that encompass cultural affairs and/or trade and investment, as well. There are sixty-five countries represented in Georgia, with twenty-five career consulates, forty- eight honorary consular offices and 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 Austrian Trade Commission Southern Region Office 3333 Riverwood Parkway, Southeast Honorary Consulate General of the Republic of Albania Suite 200 310 Somerplane Pl Atlanta, Georgia 30339 Avondale Estates, GA 30002 Web: www.advantageaustria.org/us Phone: (404) 299-6803 Phone: (678) 401-2870 Email: [email protected] Fax: (678) 403-1343 Ambassador Theodore R.

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.

  • 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.

KOTT Interviewed by: Raymond Ewing Initial interview date: November 21, 2000 Copyright 2007 ADST [Note: This interview was not edited by Mr. Kott] Q: This is an Oral History interview with Robert J. Kott. It's the 21st of November 200. This is being conducted under auspices of Association for Diplomatic Studies and Training. My name is Raymond Ewing. Bob, I see that you entered the Foreign Service in 1971, but it looks like you perhaps had some prior government or military service before that. But, let me sort of back you up. If you could tell us first a little bit about where you grew up, and how you got interested in the Foreign Service. KOTT: Fairly easy answer, Ray. Born and raised in New York City, went to school in New York City. Joined the Peace Corps after college, and went to India for two years and that sort of changed my life and gave me some direction as a young pup. From there I went back to graduate school at the University of Oregon to do a Masters program in International Studies focusing mainly on South Asian studies. I took the Foreign Service exam while I was out there, somewhat of a lark because I was really more interested in development work, either with an NGO (non-governmental organization) or USAID (United States Agency for International Development). In fact I had applied to USAID and had been accepted for I think it was their Vietnam refugee relief program, something to that Interview with Mr.

HAMAI July 2, 2015 Interim Chief Executive Officer Whenever more than one consul is posted to a location there is a body known as a consular corps. It is a body sul generis (without legal standing) to act collectively. Each government must act for itself. For convenience, most consular corps organize themselves to exchange information and meet with local leaders. The senior consul (by rank and/or longevity) is called a dean and usually represents the corps for protocol purposes. Currently, the Dean is The Honorable Zerihun Refla Shumye, Consul General of Ethiopia. The Los Angeles Consular Corps consists of 101 consulates (66 career and 35 honorary). Career consular officers are appointed by their Head of State or Foreign Minister and are full-time servants of their government. Honorary consular officers are United States citizens and need not possess the nationality of the country they serve. They are generally assigned to provide a degree of consular representation in places not covered by career consular officers. All career and honorary consular officials are accredited by the U.S Department of State and are accorded the courtesy title of ‘The Honorable.” AFGHANISTAN (Career) ARMENIA (Career) (U.
