Antigua and Barbuda\u2019s Foreign Minister E.P. Chet Greene has condemned the attack on the U.S. Embassy in Iraq that occurred on December 31st<\/sup>.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/u>\u00a0<\/u><\/p>\n

Foreign Minister Greene declared: \u201cThe Government of Antigua and Barbuda condemns the attack on the US Embassy in Iraq in the same way that we condemned the siege of the Mexican Embassy by Bolivian security forces in Bolivia in the week of December 21st<\/sup>\u201d.<\/p>\n

<\/u>\u00a0<\/u><\/p>\n

The Minister stated: \u201cAntigua and Barbuda upholds the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations by which host governments are obliged to protect diplomatic missions and accredited diplomats against any intrusion or damage\u201d.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/div>\n

<\/u>\u00a0<\/u><\/p>\n

\u201cInternational peace and security are safeguarded only when nations uphold the principles of international law.\u00a0\u00a0In this context, the attack on the U.S. Embassy is totally unacceptable as was the siege of the Mexican Embassy in Bolivia.\u00a0\u00a0In both these cases, the Government of Antigua and Barbuda hold the perpetrators of these violations accountable for their actions and calls on the governments concerned to fulfil their duty under international law by preserving the security of Embassies and diplomats\u201d.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/u>\u00a0<\/u><\/p>\n

Mister Greene added: As a small country, Antigua and Barbuda lives by international law and rules.\u00a0\u00a0We will stand up and be counted, without fear or favour, wherever and whenever they are violated\u201d.<\/p>\n
