立法說明
關於《中華人民共和國外交特權與豁免條例（草案）》的說明
1986年6月16日在第六屆全國人民代表大會常務委員會第十六次會議上
外交部副部長錢其琛
我受國務院委託，現就《中華人民共和國外交特權與豁免條例》（草案）作如下說明：
一、關於制定《條例》的必要性
⒈隨著我國外交工作的開展，外國駐華外交代表機構及其人員不斷增加。目前，在京的各國外交代表機構和聯合國系統機構已達117個，臨時來華的重要外賓也越來越多。同時，隨著我國對外開放政策的實施，我國各部門、各地方與這些機構和人員直接接觸、交往的機會大大增加。因此，為了使我各部門、各地方能夠正確地處理有關外交特權與豁免方面的問題，需要制定這個《條例》。
⒉我國現有的關於外交特權與豁免問題的法規，隨著形勢的發展和國際上有關外交優遇制度的變革，特別是聯合國於1961年4月18日主持締結了《維也納外交關係公約》（以下簡稱《維也納公約》）以後，已不能適應客觀形勢發展的需要，需要制定這個《條例》。
⒊我國已於1975年11月26日加入了《維也納公約》，因此，有必要根據《維也納公約》精神，參照有關國際慣例和我國外交實踐，制定這個《條例》。
⒋迄今尚有15個與我建交的國家未加入《維也納公約》，因此，我在與這些國家的交往中，不宜引用《維也納公約》，也需要制定這個《條例》。
二、起草《條例》的原則
起草《條例》的原則：一是要符合《維也納公約》的規定；二是要兼顧到我國的實際情況和國家的有關規定。我國加入了《維也納公約》，因此，我們制定的《條例》不應與公約的規定相牴觸。但對公約中未作規定或規定得不夠明確的地方，則根據我國情況，參照有關法規，作必要的補充，使其內容更加明確、具體。
三、關於《條例》的內容
⒈《條例》第二條是關於用語的解釋。我們過去常用的一些用語，如“外交代表機關”、“外交官”、“公務人員”等，因在國際上不通用，外國人難以準確理解其含義。故這次基本上採用了《維也納公約》中文本的用語，以與國際上的稱謂相一致，便於理解。但《維也納公約》中文本中的部分用語，如“使館職員”、“外交職員”，與我國內的習慣用法不一，易產生誤解，故改為“使館工作人員”、“外交人員”。“私人僕役”稱謂在我國已不使用，現改為“私人服務員”。
⒉第四條至第十七條是有關使館和外交代表的優遇。《維也納公約》對進口槍枝、彈藥未作具體規定。根據我國內現行有關法規，同時考慮到許多國家在槍枝、彈藥方面都有嚴格規定，第十六條對向中國境內運進槍枝、彈藥作了一定的限制。
⒊第十八條第一款、第二款、第三款是關於外交代表家屬、行政技術人員及其家屬以及服務人員的優遇。按《維也納公約》的規定，家屬是指“構成同一戶口”的人。現改為指“共同生活的配偶及未成年子女”，這樣意思比較明確。關於行政技術人員及其家屬、服務人員免稅進口安家物品事，《維也納公約》未說明時限。現根據我國的實際情況，明確規定上述人員在到任半年內運進的安家物品可以免稅。
⒋第二十條、第二十一條對臨時來華的外國人的優遇作了規定。根據有關國際公約和習慣做法，第二十條第一款所列人員享有的外交特權與豁免一般應低於外交代表。現參照《維也納公約》有關條款，籠統規定為“享有不可侵犯權和在中國過境或逗留期間所必需的其他豁免”。第二十二條是有關聯合國組織及其有關人員的待遇問題。考慮到《條例》的主要對象是外國駐華使館及其人員，有關聯合國組織及其有關人員的待遇未在《條例》中一一列舉，只原則地規定為“按中國已加入的有關國際公約和中國與有關國際組織簽訂的協定的規定辦理”。
⒌第二十四條第一款根據國際慣例強調了對等的原則，並對此作了具體的說明。
四、關於領事特權與豁免問題
國際上在領事特權與豁免方面的認識與實踐不大一致，各國對領事特權與豁免的規定也不相同。目前，外國駐華領事機構及其人員享有的特權與豁免一般通過雙邊條約或協定加以規定。對未與我國簽訂領事條約或協定的國家，如其參加了《維也納領事關係公約》（我國已於1979年7月3日加入該公約），則按公約的規定辦理，否則按互惠的原則辦理。
我的說明完了，請審議批准。
