Diplomatic missions of Niue
- Diplomatic missions of Niue
Niue is a small Pacific island country that is in a state of free association with New Zealand.
While that country has self-rule, New Zealand manages its defence and foreign affairs on Niue's request. As a consequence the country is not considered sufficiently autonomous to be a member of the United Nations, but can sign treaties in its own name. Niue has two diplomatic missions to interface with the world, and protect the interests of the vast majority of Niue islanders who actually live outside their homeland in New Zealand. A permanent Embassy to the European Communities in Brussels was established after the country, in 2000, signed the Cotonou Convention between the member states of the European Union and the Africa-Caribbean-Pacific (ACP) Group of States.
Due to the nature of the relationship with Niue, in 2001 in New Zealand a special law was passed to specifically codify the diplomatic immunities enjoyed by the Niuean High Commission and its staff.
