	Consul (representative) - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
		In modern usage, a consul is a representative of a sovereign state, posted to a foreign territory, in charge of matters related to individuals and businesses (in other words issues outside inter-governmental diplomacy), or to an officer performing mainstream (political) diplomatic functions within a subordinate post.
		Immunities and privileges for consuls and accredited staff of consulates under the relevant international conventions are generally limited to actions undertaken in their official capacity and, with respect to the consulate itself, to those required for official duties.
		Consulates are subordinate posts of their home country's diplomatic mission (usually an embassy), which is located in the capital city of the host country.

	Definition of Diplomatic consulate
		The larger Commonwealth nations generally have consulates and consulates general between one another as is the case elsewhere, however, the senior envoys in these missions are known as Commissioners instead of consuls (general).
		The consulates general need not be in the capital city, but instead in the most appropriate cities: for example many countries base their US consul general in New York City.
		Some consuls are not diplomats; in smaller cities, or in cities that are very distant from full-time diplomatic missions, a foreign government may decide that some form of representation is nevertheless desirable, and may appoint a person who has not hitherto been part of their diplomatic service to fulfill this role.

	Items Imported for Official Use
		Diplomatic pouches are inviolable and therefore may not be detained or opened under any circumstances, nor are such pouches subject to duty.
		These shipments may be entered upon presentation of a letter—on letterhead stationary of the diplomatic or consulate mission bearing the seal of the foreign government—which describes the material being imported and certifies that it is for official use.
		Because USCS carefully scrutinizes all requests for duty-free admission of exhibit materials, diplomatic missions should give full details of the importation, including the place or places of exhibit, the purpose of the exhibition, the ownership of the property, and a list of the articles to be shown.

	Diplomatic Immunity Lawyers & Legal Information (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		Diplomatic immunity is just what it sounds like: a legal immunity applied to diplomats in their host countries, ensuring that they can't be arrested or criminally prosecuted for any violations of local law.
		The diplomat is still under the jurisdiction of the laws of his country, so if his action is a crime in his homeland, he can be prosecuted when he returns.
		So if a diplomatic agent was acting outside of his duties when he breached a contract or did whatever act you want to sue him for, or if it is in regards to property or a will, you can (technically at least) sue him.

		The Chinese government says the individuals were removed to protect the consulate "under the specter of the international fight against terrorism." It also claims that Japanese officials agreed to have the North Koreans taken away, an allegation that Tokyo at least initially denied.
		Diplomatic watchers say China, the closest ally of North Korea, allowed the defectors whom it considers "illegal migrants" to leave for a third country, and eventually for the South, because repatriating them forcibly would draw international criticism of its own human rights violations.
		Diplomatic feuds have been intensifying between Japan and China, as Tokyo demanded Beijing apologize for the actions of Chinese guards, who entered the consulate without permission, and hand over the family they hauled away.
