For what? Agreeing that it’s a good idea to refuse to facilitate the propaganda operations of a genocidal regime?
Even Jesus wasn’t afraid to run people out of town with a whip, if the offence was grave enough.

Nice try, but nope.
I see no point in further posts about it.
My point is/was clear, your view, equally so.

As more rapes and atrocities are uncovered I'd have thought it was more like 1945

Re: Russia has invaded Ukraine
This discussion is getting ridiculous.
Irish businesses don't want to supply products and services to the agents of genocide.
Unless diplomatic relations with Russia are severed, the Irish government is under a legal obligation to facilitate the normal functioning of the Russian embassy.
All very simple, really.

Russian citizens are fair game.

Russian citizens abroad, in the employ of the Russian Government, are fair game to be targets for economic sanctions…
Article 29 of the VCDR states that:
Quote:
|
’The person of a diplomatic agent shall be inviolable. He shall not be liable to any form of arrest or detention. The receiving state shall treat him with due respect and shall take all appropriate steps to prevent any attack on his person, freedom or dignity."
|
It doesn’t state you have to sell/supply them with goods and services - in fact, I can’t find anything in the VCDR that states that…

It is unlikely that the Vienna Convention would contain words that you cooked up. But it does contain:
Quote:
Article 25
The receiving State shall accord full facilities for the performance of the functions of the mission

Not particularly, anyone with that amount of wealth almost certainly hasn’t acquired it legitimately.

And what of Russian citizens in need of consular assistance? Collateral damage?
The self same people we think should rise up and overthrow Putin we are inconveniencing, ironically providing evidence for the Russian propaganda machine along the way.

Re: Russia has invaded Ukraine
Mmmm, yes, I can just envision the Russian Embassies wanting to facilitate the return of those who wish to "rise up and overthrow Putin", but not being able to do so because of Irish sanctions…

What about a bland passport renewal? As far as I know Russians don’t have to wear badges with their political affiliation so I’m unsure how the Embassy could offer services on a selective basis.
Maybe the West should cut to the chase and issue badges with “Russian - pariah” for Russians to wear outside Russia. Then we can know who to deny jobs, education, economic opportunity to, etc.

Yeah, I don't understand the issue here. The Irish (and British) state should do the minimum required to meet the obligations of having a functional Russian embassy. They don't owe Russian diplomats much else.
