Is Germany the protecting power for the United Kingdom in Iran following the storming of the British Embassy in Tehran?

edit

The travel advice page for Iran just says "British nationals requiring urgent consular assistance can visit the Embassy of any EU Member State in Tehran, or in an emergency call the FCO in London". — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rpt0 (talkcontribs) 15:07, 20 December 2011 (UTC)Reply

is that still up to date ?

"Sweden carries out limited consular functions for the United States, Canada, and Australia in North Korea." - the source is 'dead' (404). https://www.swedenabroad.se/en/embassies/north-korea-pyongyang/about-us/ does not give any information. --Neun-x (talk) 05:22, 15 January 2019 (UTC)Reply

It's still up to date. Here's link to US authorities: https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/international-travel/International-Travel-Country-Information-Pages/KoreaDemocraticPeoplesRepublicof.html Adestro (talk) 18:03, 28 February 2019 (UTC).Reply

obligatory / no requirement

edit

Quote from article: "The appointment of a protecting power had been optional in the 1929 Convention, but the 1949 Convention made it obligatory"

  • Does this mean obligatory when war is declared?
    • Even if the belligerents had no diplomatic relations before the outbreak of war?
    • and a dead letter now that formal declarations of war are out of fashion
  • Conversely, I take it that countries not at war are not required to establish protecting powers just because they lack diplomatic relations
    • Relatedly, is the "Current mandates" table complete? If so it implies there are pairs of countries where one has a protecting power in the other but not vice versa (e.g. North Korea has no protecting powers).
      • In which case this fact might be added to the "There is no requirement..." paragraph
