Can Russia, St. Kitts, or the UAE give Pavel Durov CONSULAR ASSISTANCE in France?
Re the billionaire founder of Telegram, Pavol Durak's detention in France yesterday...
Pavol's other reported countries of citizenship - St. Kitts, UAE, Russia - may be attempting to offer him consular assistance in France.
France, Russia, the UAE, and St. Kitts are all parties to the 1963 Vienna convention on consular relations (see link below).
--> The problem is that Pavol's also a citizen of France. If France applies the "master nationality rule", French authorities may treat Pavol as if he's only a citizen of France, and therefore not entitled to any diplomatic assistance from foreign countries.
Any French dual citizenship lawyers: pls feel free to chime in. 🤓
