Amidst the ongoing controversy surrounding the killing of Hardeep Singh Nijjar, the clash over the Vienna Convention on diplomatic ties has taken center stage. New Zealand, the final member of the “five eyes” intelligence network to comment on the issue, criticized India’s demand for 41 Canadian diplomats to leave or risk losing diplomatic immunity. New Zealand called for diplomacy and urged adherence to the 1961 Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations, echoing similar statements from the U.S., U.K., and Australia. The dispute stems from India’s request for the reduction of the Canadian mission, citing Article 11.1 of the Vienna Convention. Canada, supported by its allies, maintains that diplomatic immunities must be respected and cannot be unilaterally revoked, while India emphasizes the need for security for its diplomats in Canada and accuses the expelled Canadian diplomats of continuous interference. The world watches for Canada’s next steps and any evidence it may present regarding its claims against India in the Nijjar case.
