I was curious so decided to read the Vienna convention on diplomatic relations. The following is a piece of text from article 16: 3. This article is without prejudice to any practice accepted by the receiving State regarding the precedence of the representative of the Holy See. In this instance, what do the words 'Predjuce and Precedence' mean? I understand what 'Holy See' refers to and that the receiving state is the host country. Is the article saying that the 'Holy See' has no significance or that they are neutral? Or…? n.b. this is not a religious post I just wanted some clarification for context. thanks in advance olly Copy Link to Clipboard Share Post on Facebook Share Post on Twitter Re: Vienna convention olly #217480 07/05/14 03:00 PM Joined: Jun 2010 Posts: 1,554 Lower Aberdeen, Mississippi J jenny jenny veteran jenny jenny veteran J Joined: Jun 2010 Posts: 1,554 Lower Aberdeen, Mississippi clause (3) seems to have been added to reassure the Vatican that Catholic flaunt and tradition would not exclude their representative from acceptance by all states under one of the three classes of diplomats as was outlined in Article 13 which delimits and describes a diplomatic representative. Maybe a recognition of the special nature of the Vatican State.

It seems the polite jargon used was purposed to include rather than sideline. I was just a little confused by the construction (almost an afterthought) which is clear but not. If you know what I mean? thanks JJ Copy Link to Clipboard Share Post on Facebook Share Post on Twitter Moderated by  Jackie  Hop To General Topics ------  Information and announcements  Q&A about words  Wordplay and fun  Words and languages in schools  Miscellany  Weekly Themes  Looking for (writers, speakers,...
