that reaard the procedures tor openino the diplomatic baa contained in the 1963 Vienna Convention on Consular Relations. The inviolability of the'diplomatic baa was an absolute principle and it should be stated that the contents of the bag were exempt from censorship by electronic media. 37. concerning chapter rv of the Commission's report, he said that the question whether the immunity of States was "restricted" lay at the basis of the difficulties involved in the study of the subject. lt was regrettable that the so-called "compromise" text affirming that a foreian State engagina in commercial activities could not invoke jurisdictional immunity accommodated only one viewpoint. Several States had recently embodied in their leaislation the concept of restricted immunity but the qreat majority of States, and particularly the developina and socialist countries, did not share that viewpoint.

That approach, whose results were apparent in articles 12 to 14, article 15, paraqraph 2, and articles 16 and 18, was lopsided and thus unacceptable. It was difficult to imagine that many States would be able to support a trend in which States were assimilated to private individuals for the conclusion of commercial contracts and would be bound to submit progressively, exception by exception, to the jurisdiction of a foreign court. The exception to the principle of the immunity of States as formulated in article 16, for example, miqht hinder the economic and industrial development of the developing countries and, furthermore, might have the effect of permanently legitimizing colonialism, despite the safeauard clause contained in article 11, paraoraph 2 (A/39/10, footnote 182).
