Where a conference is held in the Islands and is attended by the representatives of Her Majesty's Government in the United Kingdom and the government or governments of one or more foreign sovereign powers, and it appears to the Governor that doubts may arise as to the extent to which the representatives of such foreign powers and members of their official staffs are entitled to diplomatic immunities, he may —
compile a list of the persons aforesaid who are entitled to such immunities, and cause that list to be published in the Gazette; and
whenever it appears to the Governor that any person ceases or begins to be entitled to such immunities, amend the list and cause a notice of amendment, or an amended list, to be published,
and every representative of a foreign power who is for the time being included in the list shall, for the purpose of any enactment and rule of law or custom relating to the immunities of an envoy of a foreign power accredited to Her Majesty, and of the retinue of such an envoy, be treated as if he were such an envoy, and such of the members of his official staff as are for the time being included in the list shall be treated for the purpose aforesaid as if they were his retinue.
Every list or notice published under subsection (1) in relation to any conference shall include a statement of the date from which the list or amendment takes or took effect; and the fact that any person is or was included or not included at any time among the persons entitled to diplomatic immunities as representatives attending the conference or as members of the official staff of any such representative may, if a list of those persons has been so published, be conclusively proved by producing the Gazette containing the list or, as the case may be, the last list taking effect before that time, together with the Gazettes, if any, containing notices of the amendments taking effect before that time, and by showing that the name of that person is or was at that time included or not included in the said list.
