Much of the help provided within the framework of consular protection and assistance concerns the following scenarios:
\n\u2022 citizens who have encountered problems with the local legal system, or who are involved in accidents;
\n\u2022 the repatriation of a deceased;
\n\u2022 the search for Italian nationals who have not maintained contact;
\n\u2022 assistance to Italian nationals whose spouse has abducted their child\/children and taken them to another country.<\/p>\n
In case of accidents occurring whilst overseas, the diplomatic-consular missions make sure that Italian citizens receive adequate medical treatment locally, that their next of kin is duly informed and that all possible assistance is provided should a repatriation to Italy be required.<\/p>\n

– make consular visits to the detainee;<\/p>\n
– provide the person with a list of reference lawyers;<\/p>\n
– maintain contact with family in Italy;<\/p>\n
– provide the detainee with healthcare, food, books and newspapers, where necessary and permitted by local regulations;<\/p>\n
– intervene in regards to a transfer to Italy should the provisions of the Strasbourg Convention exist, as well as per other ad hoc bilateral agreements;<\/p>\n
– support requests for pardon on humanitarian grounds.<\/p>\n
The Consulate cannot:<\/p>\n
