Description[?]:
| Regarding Article 1- We believe that we shou do be able to monitor and control the influx of foreign embassies that is all, we just people's the following procedure: Foreign Nation contacts the Foreign Office Requesting permission for an Embassy Foreign Office performs research into the Nation making sure they have acceptable human rights standards ect. Foreign Nation Allowed to establish Embassy Regarding Article 3- We believe a cursory security check is necessary to protect our citizens abroad but also to protect the citizens of other countries. I imagine the other countries deciding whether to accept our nationals will be more allowing if they are informed that cursory security checks have been performed. |
