alphabetical seating |
|

| |
When seating arrangements at a multilateral conference or international organization are arranged alphabetically, each participating or member state is placed on the basis of its own rendering of its name in the language to be used at the conference or organization in question. The choice of language, however, could turn on political expediency. At a meeting in November 2002 of the Euro-Atlantic Partnership Council (which is linked with NATO), members’ names were rendered in French rather than the usual English, so as to ensure that Britain\'s prime minister did not have to sit next to the president of Ukraine, relations between the two states then being particularly fraught. See also Commonwealth; name of a state; precedence (c). |
