Under what rules and regulations are embassies and consulate governed and control. The main focus is on the aspect that if a common person is unsatisfied with the maltreatment and disagreed with the attitude and practices prevailing in the consulate/embassy and wants to object the same and seek redressal of his grievences in a legal way. Secondly, if any personel of embassy/consulate is not willing to ACKNOWLEDGE the letters given to them and is UNWILLING to reply anything in writing, then what has to be done. Acknowledgement and giving reply in writing does establish sufficient evidence; which can be used and is vital for intiating legal action if it is injustified quoted unjustified. How can one approach to consulate general or an Ambassador despite being not allowed to meet him. As we all know that in india one can take matters to court and sue a person or an organisation, send legal notices etc. Similarly is there any appropriate mechanary through which one can atleast file a complaint. That's it.... Shashikant. ********************************************************************************************** Dear Gabe, It is my understanding that 'diplomatic immunity' is normally availed of by members of the diplomatic corps - when some form of felony/crime is committed by that person....i.e Something for which any other person could normally be charged for. In the scenario presented above - this does not appear to be the case. Perhaps, "swastik" will give us more details as to what the case is....AND....on what basis he/she wants/intends to bring "legal action against an embassy and consulate". It might be interesting to read through the details before offering an answer. Besides, it is difficult to offer a constructive answer in a vacuum good wishes jc
