First published in 1961, Consular Law and Practice is a classic
work of great interest and practical use to diplomats, consuls, and
international lawyers.
When persons are out of their home country, consuls are their link
with home and a source of assistance. The roles of consuls are many
and varied. Consuls promote commerce between the home country and
the host country and assist businesspeople in making contacts and
in completing commercial transactions. Consuls also handle problems
that arise for seafarers and merchant shipping vessels of the home
country when they are in port in the host country. When a home
country citizen dies while in the host country, consuls may
facilitate burial or shipment of the remains home, or deal with the
person's estate. Consuls assist individuals arrested on a criminal
charge in the host state by visiting them in jail, advising them
about the legal system of the host state, and helping to find them
a lawyer.If the person is convicted, consuls visit them in prison
and may help to secure a transfer to a prison in the home country.
This fully updated third edition explains consular privileges and
immunities and how consular functions are handled in time of peace
and war, when the receiving state experiences civil war, or when
the sending and receiving states break off diplomatic or consular
relations. It provides valuable background by describing how
consular law developed historically and how it became solidified in
1963 in the Vienna Convention on Consular Relations. It explores
the many bilateral consular treaties which supplement the Vienna
Convention, examines the traditional and changing role of consuls,
explains diplomatic privileges andimmunities, and discusses the
function of consuls as ambassadors in cultural and scientific
exchange.
