Gazxaj Diplomacy / Embassy Treaty Draft
The following are regulations and terms in regards to Embassies / Consulates in Gazxaj’s Diplomatic Quarter:
Extraterritoriality of Embassies
Embassies are considered to be extraterritorial and part of their respective nations. Gazxajan personnel may only enter with the express permission of the Ambassador or his / her appointed representative.
Embassy Law Enforcement
Embassies are responsible for their own security and law enforcement. Embassies are permitted an armed force up to fifty (50) people to accomplish this. No foreign nationals may carry weapons outside the Embassy compound aside from protective service personnel pre-approved by the Gazxajan Ministry of State. Said personnel must carry weapons that are easily concealable, and have a caliber no higher than .45 .
Subjugation of Law
With the exception of the Ambassador and ten members of the Embassy staff (chosen by the Ambassador) who will be granted Extraterritoriality, all Embassy personnel are subject to Gazxajan law outside the Embassy itself.
Expelling of Diplomatic Personnel
The President of the Dominion of Gazxaj reserves the right to expel any and all members of any foreign government at any time, for any reason. With the exception of active hostilities between Gazxajan and the government in question, any personnel so expelled are secure in their persons and personal baggage until after they have been removed from Gazxajan territory (in other words, if we expel your Ambassador, he still has diplomatic immunity until he leaves Gazxajan territory).
Diplomatic Security Outside Embassy Compound
Diplomatic security outside of the Embassy compound is the responsibility of Gazxajan Diplomatic Corps personnel and National Police personnel. No foreign diplomatic personnel are allowed to travel unescorted within Gazxajan territory. All foreign diplomatic nationals employed at the Embassy who object to this are free to live within the Embassy compound.
Electronic Communication Outside Embassy Compound
Each Embassy compound is permitted one- and only one- satellite communications station within the Embassy compound. Communications carried on this system may be encrypted or employ any other anti-intrusion measures the Embassy personnel consider prudent. All other message traffic must go through public communications circuits or be carried in the Diplomatic Pouch.
Diplomatic Pouch Communication Outside Embassy Compound
Messages between the Embassy and its parent government may be carried by one of the Embassy staff with Extraterritoriality in a Diplomatic Pouch, which may be no larger than a standard briefcase. This pouch will be secure against any search beyond normal non-invasive passive sensors. For safety reasons, the briefcase must be transparent to X-rays. Any anti-intrusion electronics within the briefcase must be demonstrated to Diplomatic Corps personnel before the establishment of the Embassy. Any subsequent changes to anti-intrusion electronics must also be demonstrated to Diplomatic Corps prior to its use being permitted within the Diplomatic Pouch. Any electronics within the Diplomatic Pouch that do not match the X-ray signature of the agreed-upon system will not be permitted entry. Embassy security personnel are permitted unrestricted access to the Diplomatic Security screening station before, during, and after the Diplomatic Pouch passes through to ensure that Gazxajan personnel are not attempting electronic breaching of the Diplomatic Pouch.
Communication with Foreign Nationals Accused of Crimes
Embassy personnel will be permitted to communicate with citizens of the Embassy's government accused of crimes within Gazxajan territory. This communication will be monitored by Ministry of Defense and Federal Security personnel, and is not considered privileged information. The President reserves the right to restrict any such communication in the event it may (in the opinion of Gazxajan Diplomatic Corps) it may jeopardize National Security.
Diplomatic Vehicles
Each Embassy will be permitted to import a total of fifteen (15) non-military protective service vehicles for use by Extraterritorial Embassy personnel. Diplomatic vehicles will be considered part of the Embassy compound when in use by Embassy personnel with Extraterritoriality. Each vehicle is allowed one (1) assault-type rifle in case of an emergency need.
Prior to entry, any such vehicle will be thoroughly inspected by a team from the Gazxajan Ministry of State, in the presence of Embassy security staff. All equipment installed in or on the vehicles will be demonstrated to MoS personnel. Any additional equipment installed subsequent to approval must also be examined by the MoS and its purpose demonstrated. Diplomatic vehicles will be examined at random intervals agreed to by the Ambassador. Any alteration to the agreed equipment will be considered a violation of the Diplomatic Agreement.
In the event of a suspected crime or threat to National Security, the vehicle and its occupants will be detained in place while Gazxajan Diplomatic Corps requests access to the vehicle from the Ambassador. Failure to grant such access will constitute a breach of the Embassy treaty. Under these circumstances and in the absence of a state of war, the Embassy may send Security Observers to ensure that the vehicle is not searched or entered by Gazxajan personnel as it is destroyed in place. The remains of the vehicle will be returned to the Embassy once destruction is completed. The Embassy will be closed and all personnel expelled once this is completed. The destroyed vehicle will be permitted to leave with the Embassy staff.
Diplomatic Personnel and Espionage
Any Embassy personnel engaging in espionage will be summarily expelled (if granted Extraterritoriality) or prosecuted within the full extent of Gazxajan law (all others). Embassy personnel who escape (or attempt to escape) the supervision of their respective country’s Diplomatic Corps escorts will be assumed to be engaged in espionage.
Travel Restrictions Placed on Embassy Personnel
No Embassy personnel are permitted to depart Gazxaj for any reason other than to leave Gazxajan territory under official Embassy orders.
Conclusions
Assuming that the above terms are deemed acceptable, the President and Vice-President of the Dominion of Gazxaj welcome the opportunity to establish diplomatic relations with your government. Please send any applicable restrictions for Gazxajan Diplomatic personnel in your territory.
Honorable Randall Veerton
Minister of State
The Dominion of Gazxaj
