Word/ Doctrine of the Day

“Persona non-grata” (अस्वीकार्य/ अवांछनीय व्यक्ति)

It is a latin phrase that means “a person is not appreciated”. It refers to a foreign person whose entry or remaining in a country is prohibited by that country’s government. It is a kind of serious censure which a country can apply to foreign diplomats, who are otherwise protected by diplomatic immunity from arrest and other normal kinds of prosecution. Under Article 9 of the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations, 1961 a receiving state may “at any time and without having to explain its decision” declare any member of a diplomatic staff persona non grata. A person so declared is considered unacceptable and is usually recalled to his or her home nation. If not recalled, the receiving state “may refuse to recognize the person concerned as a member of the mission”.
