"Rubro" in context?

Question

Here is a sentence from an article about the fear on the part of the Argentine ministry of foreign affairs that a judge in the US, contrary to international law, might order the seizure of various diplomatic properties/assets/valuables abroad belonging to Argentina:

"No obstante, algunos abogados especializados en temas diplomáticos consideran que hay otros rubros dentro del servicio exterior que podrían ser pasibles de eventuales incautaciones por parte de los hold outs."

I can't figure out what the word "rubros" means here.

Do you have a link to the article? - rac1, Jul 6, 2014

Answer 1

It's like categories.

It says the assets, salaries and accounts of the diplomatics are protected by the Vienna Convention but the hold outs could order the seizure on other categories like the earnings the consulate makes from trade procedures.

Answer 2

Someone asked if I have a link to the article that generated my question, but I don't know how to reply directly to that person, nor do I have the link, but the article is from a newspaper in Argentina called LA NACION. It is from the Domingo 29 de Junio de 2014 edition. It starts on the front page and continues on page 18. The article is written by Martín Dinatale. The title is "Temen posibles embargos a embajadas".

That was me. Thank you. :) - rac1, Jul 6, 2014
