Diplomatic Relations in 2011
United States views on international law (based on the document “Digest of U.S. Practice in International Law”): After the United States suspended operations of its embassy in Tripoli, the Republic of Turkey agreed in April 2011 to represent the United States in Libya and protect United States citizens and interests in accordance with the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations. After the Turkish embassy in Tripoli suspended operations, the Republic of Hungary agreed to act as protecting power for the United States beginning in June 2011. When the United States resumed operations of its embassy in Tripoli in September 2011, Hungary ceased acting as protecting power for the United States in Libya. This was the first time that either the Government of Turkey or the Government of Hungary had acted as protecting power for the United States. Other governments which have served in this role during the last century include Switzerland (representing U.S. interests in Cuba from 1961 to the present and Iran from 1980 to the present); Sweden (representing U.S. interests in the Democratic Republic of North Korea from 1996 to the present); Belgium (representing U.S. interests in Libya from 1991-2004); Poland (representing U.S. interests in Iraq from 1991-2004). see this world legal encyclopedia in relation with the year 1989-90 at 241-42 for background on instances in which foreign governments have acted as protecting powers for the United States.
