"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"5285456\" data-originallang=\"en\">Yes, thank you, gentlemen.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5285457\" data-originallang=\"en\">A large part of the testimony we heard talked about the lack of modern international legal mechanisms concerning consular affairs, really the only comprehensive treaty being the Vienna convention, which has almost 60 chapters, of which only one outlines obligations in terms of consular services; namely, timely information and access. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5285458\" data-originallang=\"en\">There are clearly issues that arise that the framers of the Vienna convention couldn't have foreseen. Are there any other mechanisms, legal or otherwise, that you would suggest we look at in this regard? I'd appreciate any comments or thoughts on this. Whichever order you wish to go in would be great.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"5285456\" data-originallang=\"en\">Oui. Merci, messieurs.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5285457\" data-originallang=\"en\">De nombreux t\u00e9moins ont d\u00e9plor\u00e9 l'absence de m\u00e9canismes judiciaires modernes pour la gestion des services consulaires \u00e0 l'\u00e9chelle internationale. Le seul v\u00e9ritable trait\u00e9 exhaustif est la Convention de Vienne dont un seul des quelque 60 chapitres traite des obligations des services consulaires, \u00e0 savoir qu'ils doivent \u00eatre facilement accessibles et fournir en temps utile l'information n\u00e9cessaire.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5285458\" data-originallang=\"en\">De toute \u00e9vidence, il \u00e9tait impossible pour les r\u00e9dacteurs de la Convention de Vienne de pr\u00e9voir certains des probl\u00e8mes qui se posent actuellement. Y a-t-il d'autres m\u00e9canismes, juridiques ou non, que nous pourrions selon vous envisager \u00e0 cette fin? Je vous serais reconnaissant de bien vouloir \u00e9clairer ma lanterne \u00e0 ce sujet.</p>"
