WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE MINISTER FOR HOME AFFAIRS BY DEPUTY G.C.L. BAUDAINS OF ST. CLEMENT
ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON TUESDAY 21st FEBRUARY 2012
Question
Would the Minister inform members, with regard to recent States of Jersey Police activities at the German Consul's property, whether all aspects of the Vienna Convention on Consular Relations were adhered to?
Answer
It is not generally appropriate for me to comment in relation to an ongoing operational matter.
The Vienna Convention on Consular Relations is reflected in local legislation in the Privileges and Immunities (Diplomatic, Consular etc) (Jersey) Law 1998. The relevant section in relation to Honorary Consuls is Chapter III of the Vienna Convention, as set out in Schedule 2 of the Privileges and Immunities (Diplomatic, Consular etc) (Jersey) Law 1998. I am satisfied that the States of Jersey Police have acted in accordance with the relevant Schedule of the Law.
