Embajadas y consulados compartidos. La práctica de España en la Unión Europea y en la Comunidad Iberoamericana

Abstract

This paper is focused on the network of shared embassies and consulates between Spain and several European or Ibero-American States, as well as cases between Spain and EU delegations. The 1961 Convention and the 1963 Convention set the key international legal framework, and yet it can be stated that there is a progressive development of the law. Two Laws have recently been approved in Spain on foreign action and on treaties and other international agreements that can develop new forms of diplomacy, such as co-location. This practice has not yet been made public, although it has been declared of strategic interest by the Spanish Administration. In conclusion, it has been demonstrated the need to show and order this practice made up of international agreements.
