» COMMUNICATIONS BETWEEN THE JUDICIARY AND THE FOREIGN EMBASSIES AND CONSULATES
By Alexis Rodrigo Laborías

Sumary

In Argentina, the Executive Branch has an exclusive jurisdiction in matters of foreign relations, a role that is developed by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Worship. In particular, this state agency is responsible for maintaining contact with the foreign diplomatic and consular representatives, accredited in the country. In exercise of this power, it must act as an intermediary of the notifications and communications between state officials and foreign missions, including those sent to and from the Judiciary. However, various judicial precedents provide a glimpse of a relative ignorance of this principle, or its improper application. On these parameters, the paper analyzes the formal procedure to exchange communication and notifications between the Judiciary and the foreign diplomatic and consular missions, through a detailed study of the law and jurisprudence.
