In a number of cities consuls are grouped in a consular corps. Such a group constitutes a private association which is not entitled to official recognition or benefit under international law, the local authorities preserving complete liberty with respect to it. Pursuing the common defence of its members' professional interests the consular corps should limit the scope of its activities to the interpretation of local customs and usages.  1, fiche 1, Anglais, - consular%20corps

Dans de nombreuses villes, les consuls se sont groupés en un corps consulaire. Ces groupements constituent des associations de droit privé qui ne peuvent prétendre à aucune reconnaissance officielle de droit international, et les autorités locales conservent toute liberté à leur égard. Poursuivant la défense en commun des intérêts professionnels de ses membres, le corps consulaire doit se limiter à l'interprétation des coutumes et usages locaux.  1, fiche 1, Français, - corps%20consulaire
