Lay off United Nations Missions
In a somewhat mysterious report, NAM Tells US Lay off UN Missions, Prensa Latina reports on a Nan-Aligned Movement protest against restrictions imposed by the United States on diplomats and officials from some UN member countries in violation of international law and conventions.
The June 19, 2007 article does not reference any particular action by the United States except to say that the Agreement on the Venue is affected.
The State Department website has two recent documents that may or may not relate to the protest: An excerpt from the foreign affairs manual on Immunities and Liabilities of Foreign Representatives which is of general interest to embassy, consular and international organization administrators; and a document on barring the participation of sex offenders in United Nations missions. -- Clemens Kochinke, Berliner, Corcoran & Rowe, LLP, Washington.
