Raymond Davis's Immunity

Peace Everybody!

For the Vienna Convention on Consular Relations 1963, please visit the following site.

 
SECTION II.
FACILITIES, PRIVILEGES AND IMMUNITIES
RELATING TO CAREER CONSULAR OFFICERS AND
OTHER MEMBERS OF A CONSULAR POST

Article 40
Protection of consular officers

The receiving State shall treat consular officers with due respect and shall take all appropriate
steps to prevent any attack on their person, freedom or dignity.

Article 41
Personal inviolability of consular officers

1. Consular officers shall not be liable to arrest or detention pending trial, except in the case of a
grave crime and pursuant to a decision by the competent judicial authority.

2. Except in the case specified in paragraph 1 of this article, consular officers shall not be
committed to prison or be liable to any other form of restriction on their personal freedom save in
execution of a judicial decision of final effect.

The American government claims diplomatic immunity for the American fellow Raymond Davis who killed two Pakistanis (and whose cronies from the American Consulate crushed a third one to death) and from whose custody pictures of important Pakistani military installations were recovered.

President Obama and his stooges in Pakistan need to wait for the court's decision. I wonder what Americans would have done had this happened in America!
