  • The Status of the Diplomatic Bag in International Relations
    Fordham International Law Journal Volume 12, Issue 3 1988 Article 5 ”Opening” Pandora’s Box: The Status of the Diplomatic Bag in International Relations Christine M. Nelson∗ ∗ Copyright c 1988 by the authors. Fordham International Law Journal is produced by The Berke- ley Electronic Press (bepress). http://ir.lawnet.fordham.edu/ilj ”Opening” Pandora’s Box: The Status of the Diplomatic Bag in International Relations Christine M. Nelson Abstract This Note argues that article 27 [of the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations] provides for the absolute inviolability of the diplomatic bag. Part I discusses the history of the Vienna Con- vention and its provisions concerning the diplomatic bag. Part II sets forth instances of abuse of the diplomatic bag, proposed remedies, and the arguments in favor of such remedies. Part III sug- gests that the proper construction of article 27 of the Vienna Convention is that the diplomatic bag is absolutely inviolable and, thus, immune from nonintrusive examinations. This Note concludes that the status of the bag should be reconsidered in order to enable governments to curb its abuses. "OPENING" PANDORA'S BOX: THE STATUS OF THE DIPLOMATIC BAG IN INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS INTRODUCTION For centuries, governments and their envoys stationed abroad have used diplomatic bags.1 The diplomatic bag, which is usually a canvas sack, is intended for the confidential convey- ance of documents between a government and its missions abroad.2 Eventually, diplomats used the bag to convey articles as well as documents; thus, the bag became the smuggling dip- lomat's perfect means by which to transport contraband as val- uable as jewels and as lethal as machine guns across interna- tional borders.3 At first glance, subjecting the bag to metal de- tectors, electronic scanning, or canine sniffing without opening or detaining the bag 4 would appear to be a simple solution to the worldwide problem of abuses of the diplomatic bag.

    United States General Accounting Office GAO Report to the Secretary of State February1989 ' STATE DEPARTMENT Problems in the Diplomatic Courier System GAO/NSIAD-89-39 t About Our New Cover... The new color of our report covers represents the latest step in GAO’S efforts to improve the presentation of our reports. United States General Accounting Office GAO Washington, D.C. 20548 National Security and International Affairs Division B-233559 February 6, 1989 The Honorable James A. Baker III The Secretary of State Dear Mr. Secretary: Our review of the State Department diplomatic courier pouch system indicated that improvements are needed to ensure timely and secure communication between federal agencies in the United States and U.S. diplomatic posts abroad. Diplomatic pouches used to carry material are inviolate-they cannot be opened or detained by a receiving country. About 15 percent of U.S. pouch material is classified and must always be accompanied by couriers. The focus of this report is the material to be accompanied by courier. Results in Brief We found the following specific problems: l Shipment of large, bulky items has strained the capability of the pouch system. Volume has more than doubled in the last 5 years. l Individual courier trip reports identified numerous problems that affected pouch delivery and security. These problems are related to shortcomings in security escort efforts, improper handling of classified materials, breakdowns in delivery trucks, and trucks without communi- cation capabilities. l Use of nonprofessional couriers is not limited to emergencies and iso- lated cases as required by State regulations. Because the use of nonpro- fessional couriers is not centrally controlled or monitored, State officials do not know how many nonprofessional couriers have been authorized at the over 250 diplomatic posts.

Bern, 008 ABC of Diplomacy Introduction Diplomacy is the means by which States throughout the world conduct their affairs in ways to ensure peaceful relations. The main task of indi- vidual diplomatic services is to safeguard the interests of their respec- tive countries abroad. This concerns as much the promotion of political, economic, cultural or scientific relations as it does international commit- ment to defend human rights or the peaceful settlement of disputes. Diplomacy takes place in both bilateral and multilateral contexts. Bilat- eral diplomacy is the term used for communication between two States, while multilateral diplomacy involves contacts between several States often within the institutionalised setting of an international organisation. Negotiation is the one of most important means of conducting diplo- macy, and in many cases results in the conclusion of treaties between States and the codification of international law. The aim of such interna- tional treaties is primarily to strike a balance between State interests. Diplomacy has existed since the time when States, empires or other centres of power dealt with each other on an official basis. Numer- ous diplomatic archives have been found in Egypt dating back to the 3th century BC.
