Abstract
This essay dwells upon the right to access consular assistance and protection and its relevance to the architecture of a safe, orderly, and regular migration. The work first examines the relationship between the state and its citizens abroad, concentrating particularly on the concept of nationality as the legal bond connecting state and individual. It then presents an overview of the main international legal documents prescribing the right to consular assistance and protection; special emphasis is placed on the 1963 Vienna Convention on Consular Relations. The third and final part of this essay is dedicated to analyse the scope of the right to access consular assistance and protection in connection with Objective 14 of the Global Compact for Safe, Orderly, and Regular Migration. The essay concludes that the relevance of consular assistance and protection to a safe, orderly, and regular migration cannot be underestimated, once consular officials play a pivotal role in the implementation and safeguarding of fundamental rights of all migrants at all times.
