It only says, if you are in the birth country, second country you hold the citizenship has no right to help. If you are in a third country, that country can decide which country could give you the diplomatic portetion, Birth coutry or the country you are resided.
Once again, as i said, US is an exception. They have a national policy to go any distance to help their citizens.
You basically explained loosing/reduced diplomatic protection in simple terms.
It doesn't say the third country gets to decide who gets to assist the person, it just says it may limit or prevent the assistance you get.
US is the same, they don't encourage it as well due to possible issues
Quote:the U.S. Government recognizes that dual nationality exists but does not encourage it as a matter of policy because of the problems it may cause. Claims of other countries on dual national U.S. citizens may conflict with U.S. law and dual nationality may limit U.S. Government efforts to assist citizens abroad.
Australia
Quote:The Australian government, for example, tells dual nationals that it “may be limited in its ability to provide you with consular assistance should you seek it.”

Bottom line is there are advantages and disadvantages having dual citizenship. You got to decide what's best for you considering pros and cons with your circumstances.
Me personally say no thanks.
Read the last sentence of article 3.2. It clearly says that.
