Foreign Consular Offices in the United States United States Department of State Foreign Consular Offices in the United States SPRING/SUMMER 2012 STATE DEPARTMENT ADDRESSEE *IF YOU DO NOT WISH TO CONTINUE RECEIVING THIS PUBLICATION PLEASE WRITE CANCEL ON THE ADDRESS LABEL *IF WE ARE ADDRESSING YOU INCORRECTLY PLEASE INDICATE CORRECTIONS ON LABEL RETURN LABEL AND NAME OF PUBLICATION TO THE OFFICE OF PROTOCOL, DEPARTMENT OF STATE, WASHINGTON, D.C. 20520-1853 DEPARTMENT OF STATE PUBLICATION 10444 Revised April 20, 2012 ________________________________________________________________________________ For Sale by the superintendent of Documents, U.S. Government Printing Office Washington, D.C. 20402 FOREIGN CONSULAR OFFICES IN THE UNITED STATES i PREFACE This publication contains a complete and official listing of the foreign consular offices in the United States, and recognized consular officers. Compiled by the U.S. Department of State, with the full cooperation of the foreign missions in Washington, it is offered as a convenience to organizations and persons who must deal with consular representatives of foreign governments. It has been designed with particular attention to the requirements of government agencies, state tax officials, international trade organizations, chambers of commerce, and judicial authorities who have a continuing need for handy access to this type of information. Trade with other regions of the world has become an increasingly vital element in the economy of the United States. The machinery of this essential commerce is complicated by numerous restrictions, license requirements, quotas, and other measures adopted by the individual countries. Since the regulations affecting both trade and travel are the particular province of the consular service of the nations involved, reliable information as to entrance requirements, consignment of goods, details of transshipment, and, in many instances, suggestions as to consumer needs and preferences may be obtained at the foreign consular offices throughout the United States. Note: Changes occur daily. Status of persons listed in this publication should be verified with the Office of Protocol. IMMUNITIES ACCORDED TO CONSULAR OFFICERS Consular officers should be accorded their respective privileges, rights, and immunities as directed by international and domestic law. These foreign officials should be treated with the courtesy and respect befitting their positions. At the same time, it is a well established principle of international law that, without prejudice to their privileges and immunities, it is the duty of all persons enjoying such privileges and immunities to respect local laws and regulations. Unless otherwise provided under specific bilateral agreements, they are entitled to the limited immunities described in the Vienna Convention on Consular Relations (VCCR), which contains the current expression of international law on the subject of the rights, privileges, and immunities of consular personnel. Furthermore, recognized consular officers who also are accredited as diplomatic agents at certain diplomatic missions enjoy full immunity under the provisions of the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations (VCDR). Career Consular Officers Article 43 of the VCCR states that the immunity to which consular officers are entitled relates only to acts arising in the exercise of consular functions. This limited form of immunity, generally referred to as "official acts immunity" or "functional immunity," must be asserted in court as an affirmative defense and is subject to court determination. It should be noted that civil actions relating to private contracts and damage arising from accidents caused by automobiles, vessels, or aircraft are specifically excepted from a claim of "official acts immunity" as are those based on private contracts. Although career consular officers enjoy only limited immunity from jurisdiction, Article 41 of the VCCR does grant them personal inviolability. Therefore, such individuals may not be arrested or detained pending trial, except in the case of a grave crime and pursuant to a decision of a competent judicial authority. Career consular officers can be identified by credentials issued by the U.S. Department of State, which bear its seal, the name of the officer, and title. Families of Consular Officers Family members of consular officers do not enjoy the same privileges and immunities with respect to the civil and criminal jurisdiction of the receiving state as do consular officers. However, they should be accorded appropriate courtesy and respect. Consular Employees Although foreign career consular employees are not listed in this publication, these individuals also are entitled to immunity from the civil and criminal jurisdiction of the receiving state as to official acts performed in the exercise of their consular functions, subject to court determination. They do not, however, enjoy personal inviolability and, thus, are not immune from arrest or detention. FOREIGN CONSULAR OFFICES IN THE UNITED STATES ii Countries with Special Bilateral Agreements The United States and the following countries have entered into bilateral agreements which, in certain cases, may provide greater privileges and immunities to consular officers, family members, and employees. The Republic of Armenia The Republic of Moldova The Republic of Azerbaijan The Philippines The Republic of Belarus The Republic of Poland The Republic of Bulgaria Romania The People's Republic of China Russia The Czech Republic Slovak Republic The Republic of Georgia The Republic of Tajikistan The Republic of Hungary Turkmenistan The Republic of Kazakhstan Ukraine The Kyrgyz Republic The Republic of Uzbekistan For details in particular cases, please contact the Office of Protocol CONSULAR PREMISES Consular premises used exclusively for the work of the consular post cannot be entered without explicit permission of the head of the consular post or his designee or by the head of the diplomatic mission. This permission may be assumed in the case of fire or other disaster requiring prompt protective action. CONSULAR ARCHIVES, DOCUMENTS, RECORDS, AND CORRESPONDENCE The consular archives and documents are inviolable at all times and wherever they may be. The official correspondence of the consular post, which means all correspondence relating to the consular post and its functions, is likewise inviolable. HONORARY CONSULAR OFFICERS As a matter of U.S. policy, honorary consular officers recognized by the U.S. Government are American citizens or permanent resident aliens who perform consular services on a part-time basis. The limited immunity afforded honorary consular officers is specified in Article 71 of the VCCR. Such individuals do not enjoy personal inviolability and may be arrested pending trial if circumstances should otherwise warrant. However, appropriate steps must be provided to accord to such officers the protection required by virtue of their official position. In addition, the consular archives and documents of a consular post headed by an honorary consular officer are inviolable at all times and wherever they may be, provided they are kept separate from other papers and documents of a private or commercial nature relating to other activities of an honorary consular officer or persons working with that consular officer. The Foreign Consular Offices in the United States list is available to the public for a fee through the Superintendent of Documents, U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, D.C. 20402 (Telephone Number {202} 512-1800) and on the Department of State Internet web site under: http://www.state.gov/s/cpr/rls NOTE: The information contained herein was compiled as of April 20, 2012.

  • 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.

  • About the Artists
    Contact: Michael Caprio, 702-658-6691 [email protected] Golden Slumbers is committed to creating projects that bring families together ABOUT THE ARTISTS MICHAEL MCDONALD This five-time Grammy winner is one of the most unmistakable voices in music, singing hits for three decades. His husky soulful baritone debuted 30 years ago, famously revitalizing the Doobie Brothers with "Takin' it to the Streets," "What a Fool Believes," and "Minute by Minute”. He went onto a distinguished solo career including duets with such R&B greats as James Ingram and Patti Labelle. Michael released the Grammy nominated Motown in 2003, selling over 1.3 million copies, followed by Motown 2, released in October 2004. PHIL COLLINS One of the music industry’s rock legends, Collins played drums, sang, wrote and arranged songs, played sessions, and helped Genesis become one of the leading lights in the Progressive rock field. After numerous solo hits and Platinum-selling albums, Walt Disney studios asked him in to compose the songs to their animated feature "Tarzan," and the sin- gle, "You'll be in my Heart," was a major hit which earned him the prestigious Academy, Grammy and Golden Globe Awards. He is currently working on three new Disney projects. With a new album in the pipeline, and a continued interest in all aspects of his past, Phil Collins has proved that there is no substitute for talent. SMOKEY ROBINSON Entering his fourth decade as a singer, songwriter and producer, this velvet-voiced crooner began his career as a founding Motown executive, and frontman for the Miracles.

  • The Early Years of the RASKB : 1900 - 1920
    Published in Transactions of the RASKB, Vol. 85, 2010, 131- 149 The Early Years of the RASKB : 1900 - 1920 Brother Anthony of Taizé 1. The First Beginnings The Royal Asiatic Society Korea Branch was born at 4:30 pm on June 16, 1900, when a founding meeting attended by seventeen men (all but four of them missionaries) was held in the Reading Room of the Seoul Union Club. On that day officers were elected and a constitution (based on that of the London RAS) was adopted. Among those present were the acting British Chargé d’affaires, J. H. Gubbins, and the missionaries James S. Gale, Homer B. Hulbert, George Heber Jones, Horace G. Underwood, H. G. Appenzeller, D. A. Bunker and William B. Scranton. Other missionaries who were members of the RASKB from the very start included H. N. Allen, O. R. Avison and M. N. Trollope. The first paper presented to the Society, on “The Influence of China upon Korea,” was given by James Scarth Gale on October 24, 1900 and it was the first paper published in Volume One of Transactions a few months later. It stressed the overwhelming influence of Chinese culture on Korea. The second paper, by Homer B. Hulbert, on “Korean Survivals,” sought to contradict it and stress the role of native Korean traditions and values. In the two years that followed, seven more lectures were given and 2 more volumes of Transactions were published. But, after a final lecture about Ginseng at the end of 1902 and the publication of Volume 3 of Transactions soon after, everything stopped.

Jesse R. Ramirez, 26, of 5031 Reading Ave., is in Lake County Jail without bond. He was charged with two counts of murder in the shooting deaths of Jose "Joey" Escobedo Jr., 28, and Quinton Griffith, 20, outside the former Brothers Two tavern early Sept. 6, 2002. Charges were filed Jan. 11, but the affidavits were sealed to avoid alerting Ramirez, who has lived in several parts of the country since the shootings of the Hammond men near the corner of Kennedy Avenue and 165th Street in Hammond. "It was a real regional effort," said Detective Sgt. Wendy Jo Gardner. "The suspect has family in several states and Mexico." Police in Louisiana -- where Ramirez was recently working -- and Texas, Tennessee, Chicago and the U.S. Border Patrol were all looking for him, said Sgt. A. Llanes, Gardner's partner. With Capt. Michael Solan, the pair has worked on the case since February 2004.
