Abstract

The reason which consular protection (CP) institution was established based on, supporting people to discover their violated rights. In traditional international law, prevailing view was that CP is the exclusive authority of states and individuals has no rights to resort to it. Now this question may raise that if a person’s rights and legal interests has violated illegally in a foreign state and above mentioned person couldn’t reach to its legal rights with exhausting to local remedies, does his governments is obliged to exercise CP to its nationals or could to refuse this request due to its authority? In other words, the question is that CP is part of exclusive authority of states or is part of individual international human rights which states have to exercise it due to national request? Conclusion of this paper shows that today, in the light of changes and developments in international human rights, CP is part of individual international human rights and states have to exercise it due to national request, at least in theory.
