Iran: Terrorism

Question

To ask Her Majesty's Government what steps they have taken with European allies, including Germany and Belgium, to ensure Iran cannot use its embassies to harbour suspected terrorists.

Answer

We work closely with our European partners on security and counter-terrorism issues. We are clear that the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations requires that the premises of a diplomatic mission are not used in any manner incompatible with the functions of the mission as described in the Convention or by other rules of general international law.
