persona non grata (png)

 
     
  persona non grata (png)


The term used by a receiving state to indicate that a diplomatic agent or a consular officer is no longer acceptable as such. Anyone so designated must be recalled by the sending state. Other members of a diplomatic mission or of a consular post may also be declared unacceptable – but in their case the Latin expression is not used. They too must then be recalled or their functions with the mission or post terminated. A receiving state is not obliged to explain its reasons for declaring persons personae non gratae or unacceptable. However, it is well understood that such reasons may include the belief that the individuals in question are engaged in espionage, connected with terrorism or subversive activity, or have committed some other breach of the receiving state\'s criminal law. See also handed his/her passports; tit-for-tat expulsions.
