REGULATIONS CONCERNING PRECEDENCE OF DIPLOMATIC AGENTS The rules on this subject which have been prescribed by the Department are the same as those contained in the seven rules of the Congress of Vienna, found in the protocol of the session of March, 9, 1815, and in the supplementary or eighth rule of the Congress of Aix-la-Chapelle of November 21, 1818. They are as follows: ARTICLE 1. Diplomatic agents are divided into three classes: That of ambassadors, legates, or nuncios; that of envoys, ministers, or other persons accredited to sovereigns; that of chargés d'affaires accredited to ministers for foreign affairs. ART. 2. Ambassadors, legates, or nuncios only have the representative character. ART. 3. Diplomatic agents on an extraordinary mission have not, on that account, any superiority of rank. ART. 4. Diplomatic agents shall take precedence in their respective classes according to the date of the official notification of their arrival. The present regulation shall not cause any innovation with regard to the representative of the Pope. ART. 5. A uniform mode shall be determined in each State for the reception of diplomatic agents of each class. ART. 6. Relations of consanguinity or of family alliance between courts confer no precedence on their diplomatic agents. The same rule also applies to political alliances. ART. 7. In acts or treaties between several powers which grant alternate precedence, the order which is to be observed in the signatures shall be decided by lot between the ministers. ART. 8. It is agreed that ministers resident accredited to them shall form, with respect to their precedence, an intermediate class between ministers of the second class and chargés d'affaires. 354 |
