Abstract:
Assesses the legal basis for grants of refuge by the EU's diplomatic Delegations to third country nationals suffering human rights violations. Examines the relevant provisions of the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations 1961. Considers whether: (1) the non-refoulement principle has extraterritorial effect; (2) if so, this applies to the Delegations by virtue of ECtHR case law or the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union art.19.
