We encourage parties to any disputes to resolve differences through dialogue, but the Vienna Conventions and UK law provide for a number of sanctions, including placing limits on the size of diplomatic missions and consular posts, declaring members of the mission or consular post <em>personae non gratae</em> or not acceptable and, ultimately, breaking off diplomatic or consular relations. Questions of law relating to diplomatic, consular and state immunity are for the courts to determine.</p> answering member constituency Selby and Ainsty answering member printed Nigel Adams question first answered 02/11/2020 11:12:59 answering member 4057 label Biography information for Nigel Adams
