COMMENTARY     

Javier
28th July 2009 		I wonder why do you have this category at all. Additionally, it is not clear if the average considers diplomats, consular officers, administrative staff, or all of them. It is not clear either if the average is against the total number of diplomats or the number in each diplomatic mission.
AL
10th July 2009 		Shouldn't the title of this be changed to indicate that the numbers displayed are of unpaid parking tickets in NYC (not across all of the countries' diplomatic missions globally)?
Ian Graham
Staff Editor
16th March 2005 		According to the Korea Herald’s March 16th edition, foreign diplomatic missions in Seoul only paid 3.6 percent of the parking-related fines they incurred in 2004. Eighty-four foreign missions in the city were fined a total of almost US$100,000 for 2,487 parking violations.

Only 89 of the fines were paid. The leaders in outstanding fines were Russia (230), Vietnam (199), China (180) and the Philippines (114). Paraguay, the People's Republic of Congo, Norway, Venezuela, Panama and Afghanistan all had no outstanding fines.

The Foreign Ministry made an appeal to the missions for voluntary payment of the fines, but it was ignored. Under the terms of the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations, "the means of transport of the [diplomatic] mission shall be immune from search, requisition, attachment or execution."
