Diplomatic activity in regulating human mobility
Journal Title: International Relations and Security Studies Review - Year 2018, Vol 1, Issue 2
Abstract
Embassies and Consulates are the headquarters of the diplomatic network abroad under the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. While the Embassy is the diplomatic representation of a State to the country of accreditation, the Consulate is responsible for the assistance and protection of compatriots abroad, as well as the promotion of the representing country. As far as promotional activities are concerned, the functions of a Consulate are very similar to those of an Embassy: they range from the economic-commercial sector to the cultural sector. The following is an analysis of the different cases in which a fellow citizen, resident or just passing through, may need to contact a Consulate or an Embassy. The analysis will focus not on legislation but on practice, to connote how a diplomatic representation can be of help to a fellow citizen. This case study is therefore characterized by accidents, arrests, detentions, deaths, thefts, kidnappings and child abductions. Starting from the definition of the term “terrorism"; greater depth will be given to the case of attacks and how diplomacy also deals with the fight against international terrorism.
