FM: US Violates Vienna Conventions on Diplomatic and Consular Relations by not allowing Syrian diplomats accredited in Washington to Join Mission

National

DAMASCUS,(ST)_ The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates said today that the United States has made a flagrant violation of the Vienna Conventions on Diplomatic and consular Relations by resorting to arbitrary action after the end of the mission of the Syrian diplomats accredited in Washington, in not allowing their alternates to attend to their work and thereby deliberately the US state department ignored in its yesterday statement yesterday that the Syrian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates had sent earlier this month, an official note to the US state department asking for granting visa to the new diplomats before the end of March, otherwise the Syrian government will close its embassy in Washington and the foreign ministry instructed the Syrian embassy in Washington to take necessary closure measures.

In a statement, the ministry explained that this US behavior reflects the US manipulation of facts when blowing the basic legal principle of consular work as involving Honorary Consulates in political affairs and remove them from the goals and objectives of assigned work which is limited to providing services to nationals and maintain their interests, noting the US decision to suspend the work of the Syrian embassy in Washington and deprive immunities and privileges of embassies and consulates and impose restrictions on their employees, thereby violating Vienna Conventions on diplomatic and consular relations.

“This procedure reveals the U.S policy real objectives against Syria and the interests of the Syrian citizens and constitutes a further step in the U.S. support for terrorism and bloodshed in Syria. Policies which encourage the spread of terrorism in the region and the world,” the statement concluded.
