According to pages 410 and 411 of the 1984
publication Multilateral Treaties: Index and Current
Status, the "Convention on the Issue of Multilingual Extracts
from Civil Status Records" was concluded in Vienna on 8 September
1976 and "includes standard forms for the issue of extracts from
birth, marriage and death records." For additional information on
this Convention and the treaty it replaced, please consult the
attachments.
A letter sent to the DIRB on 24 September
1997 by the Chargé d'Affaires of the Embassy of the Republic
of Slovenia in Ottawa states:
...normally, this form [the copy of the
birth registry document that was sent to the Embassy] would prove
an event (birth, marriage, death) which has occurred in Slovenia.
But in some cases, it is also issued to confirm a birth which
occurred outside of Slovenia when the person in question has been
later registered as a citizen of Slovenia. Accordingly, his birth
needs to be registered in Slovenian registers, since the
citizenship is registered in the register of birth after 1977.
This Response was prepared after
researching publicly accessible information currently available to
the DIRB within time constraints. This Response is not, and does
not purport to be, conclusive as to the merit of any particular
claim to refugee status or asylum.
