agrément
Earlier described as ‘agréation’, the formal agreement by a receiving state to accept a named individual as head of a diplomatic mission. Obtaining such agreement before an individual is despatched (in practice, before a name is publicly announced) is a firm requirement under the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations (1961) – although when addressing such requests to Commonwealth states, Britain does not use the term ‘agrément’. A refusal of agrément may be prompted by objections either to the personal character or past record of the proposed new head of mission. This does not require justification but often comes out. In 1997 the Turkish government refused agrément to Ehud Toledano, who had been nominated by the Israeli government as its new ambassador to Ankara. Turkish officials stated that Toledano, an academic specializing in Ottoman history, had given a pro-Armenian account of the massacre of 1.5million Armenians by Turkish troops in the First World War in an Israeli radio interview in 1981. The Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations also states that a receiving state ‘may’ require the names of service attachés to be submitted beforehand for its approval as well. It appears to be customary for all members of interests sections to require agrément. |
