Download or read book Diplomatic Law in Belgium written by Frédéric Dopagne and published by Maklu. This book was released on 2014-06-02 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Foreword by Mr. Didier Reynders, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs, Foreign Trade and European Affairs. Belgium hosts numerous diplomatic missions. These are either accredited to the Kingdom of Belgium or to one of the international organisations headquartered in Belgium. Their operation, as well as the legal status and privileges and immunities of their members, are essentially regulated by the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations, dated 18 April 1961. This handbook describes Belgium’s practice vis-à-vis these missions, and analyses the day-to-day implementation of the Vienna Convention by the various Belgian authorities. It systematically reviews the limited number of legislative or regulatory provisions, the Government’s practice – set out inter alia in several ‘circular notes’ communicated to the missions present in Belgium – and, additionally, identifies the jurisprudence of courts and tribunals and highlights the possible deviations from the practice of the executive branch. Designed as a guide intended primarily for diplomatic missions established in Belgium, this handbook is also relevant for civil servants, judges, lawyers and bailiffs encountering questions of diplomatic law in Belgium, as well as for students and researchers seeking information on national practice in this area of law.

Download or read book The Failed Coup of Belgian Diplomacy written by Michael Auwers and published by . This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Failed Coup of Belgian Diplomacy challenges conventional ideas about Belgian foreign policy during World War I. According to the prevailing narrative, the inexperienced politicians representing Belgium at the Paris Peace Conference made a strategic mistake by betting heavily on territorial expansion at the expense of, among others, the neutral Netherlands. That narrative attributes too much power to politicians as makers of foreign policy and underestimates the impact of diplomats. The book aims to correct these ideas. It sees the implementation of Belgian foreign policy as the result of a conflict between diplomats and argues that an emerging and impatient generation of young diplomats, inspired by the colonial ventures of the late King Leopold II, pushed aside their older colleagues, sidelined King Albert I and took over the reins of Belgian diplomacy. Through this Belgian story, The Failed Coup of Belgian Diplomacy nuances the common narrative that describes World War I as a decisive period for the takeover of the diplomatic apparatus by European politicians. In most belligerent countries, diplomats were surely accused of incompetence. Many of them were also removed from the center of European politics in the early stages of the war and failed to regain their influence at the peace conference. In Belgium, on the other hand, a group of young diplomats managed to shift politicians from neutrality to an annexationist program with relative ease. The ultimate Belgian failure at Versailles, this book argues, was largely caused by the lack of consensus within the diplomatic corps on foreign policy objectives. This absence weakened the cohesion and effectiveness of Belgian diplomacy.
Download or read book Nature s Diplomats written by Raf De Bont and published by University of Pittsburgh Press. This book was released on 2021-05-11 with total page 401 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nature’s Diplomats explores the development of science-based and internationally conceived nature protection in its foundational years before the 1960s, the decade when it launched from obscurity onto the global stage. Raf De Bont studies a movement while it was still in the making and its groups were still rather small, revealing the geographies of the early international preservationist groups, their social composition, self-perception, ethos, and predilections, their ideals and strategies, and the natures they sought to preserve. By examining international efforts to protect migratory birds, the threatened European bison, and the mountain gorilla in the interior of the Belgian Congo, Nature’s Diplomats sheds new light on the launch of major international organizations for nature protection in the aftermath of World War II. Additionally, it covers how the rise of ecological science, the advent of the Cold War, and looming decolonization forced a rethinking of approach and rhetoric; and how old ideas and practices lingered on. It provides much-needed historical context for present-day convictions about and approaches to the preservation of species and the conservation of natural resources, the involvement of local communities in conservation projects, the fate of extinct species and vanished habitats, and the management of global nature.

Download or read book The Failure to Prevent Genocide in Rwanda written by Frederik Grünfeld and published by Martinus Nijhoff Publishers. This book was released on 2007 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume is about the failure to prevent genocide in Rwanda in 1994. In particular, the research focuses on why the early warnings of an emerging genocide were not translated into early preventative action. The warnings were well documented by the most authoritative source, the Canadian U.N. peace-keeping commander General Romeo Dallaire and sent to the leading political civil servants in New York. The communications and the decisionmaking are scrutinized, i.e., who received what messages at what time, to whom the messages were forwarded and which (non-) decisions were taken in response to the alarming reports of weapon deliveries and atrocities. This book makes clear that this genocide could have been prevented. Published under the Transnational Publishers imprint.
Download or read book Eu Diplomatic Law written by Sanderijn Duquet and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2022-10-28 with total page 401 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: EU Diplomatic Law provides a thorough analysis of the interactions between the European Union (EU) and international diplomatic and consular law. Over the past six decades, the EU has been granted unique powers that enable it to act prominently on the international plane, thereby developing a worldwide bilateral and multilateral diplomatic network. Much like the States, the EU sends ambassadors to all corners of the world and accredits permanent missions at its Brussels' headquarters. These developments shake the foundations of diplomatic and consular law, as these branches of international law are based on the principles of state sovereignty, non-interference, and reciprocity. Traditional conceptions of international law only allow states to perform diplomatic and consular functions, leaving little room for non-state entities such as the EU. Sanderijn Duquet addresses this fundamental problem by re-visiting the foundations of diplomatic and consular law, as well as analysing EU practice in initiating, conducting, and terminating diplomatic and consular relations. In particular, she focuses on: the scope of EU diplomatic and consular powers, especially in relationship to its member states; its application of the Vienna Conventions and customary international law; the EU's use of creative legal techniques; the diplomatic and consular protection of EU citizens; questions of protocol and precedence; and the legal status of the EU's diplomatic staff and premises abroad. By critically analysing these issues, this book assesses the specific contribution the EU makes to the shaping of diplomatic and consular law.
