Aha.
Always ready to learn something new.
Joachim, can you then please give examples of extraterritorial pieces of
land, say, somewhere in Europe? And examples for privileges that they
enjoy?
Thanks,
Wolfgang
I beg to
differ from Wolfgang's defininition of eytraterritoriality.
A
distinction has to be made between sovereignty over territory (which
is a
matter of international public law or "law of nations") and
ownership
(which is a matter of private law). A piece of land owned by
one country as
a private owner in another country does not
automatically enjoy
extraterritorial privileges. For a piece of
territory to enjoy
extraterritoral privileges, it is not necessary to
be under the private
ownership of another subject of international law.
The embassy of one
state in another state is NOT extraterritorial
territory, and it does not
matter in this respect at all whether the
embassy plot/building has been
purchased or only rented in the host
country. The special privileges and
immunities enjoyed by embassy
premises are not the result of
extraterritoriality but are privileges
granted under the Vienna Convention
or other treaties to that effect.
These privileges apply regardless whether
the embassy grounds are
owned by the sending state or are only rented from
a local owner or
the host government.
