Legal expert Ali Al-Tamimi explained on Sunday that Iraq has the right to refuse to accept unwanted ambassadors, due to statements that threaten civil peace within the host country.
Al-Tamimi said in a statement to Al-Maalouma Agency, “The new candidate to assume the position of American ambassador in Baghdad has violated many diplomatic norms in her recent statements,” noting that “Iraq has the right to reject her and not allow her to come to Baghdad in accordance with the 1961 Vienna Treaty, Article 9.” “.
He continued, “Many articles of the Vienna Treaty talked about the same subject, including Article 9 and Article 40, as well as Article 41,” pointing out that “Iraq has the right to this file according to the Vienna Treaty and the US-Iraqi strategic agreement in 2008.”
Article 9 of the treaty stipulates that any host state may, at the time it wishes and for any reason, announce the result that a member of the diplomatic corps within its territory is not desirable for his presence in the country, and obliges the sending state to recall him within an acceptable short period of time. If this is not done That persona non grata may lose his diplomatic immunity with the host state itself.
