Popis:	While quantum mechanics allows spooky action at a distance at the level of the wave-function, it also respects locality since there is no instantaneous propagation of real physical effects. We show that this feature can be proved in the standard interpretation of quantum mechanics by a simple general result involving commuting Hermitian operators corresponding to distant (causally disconnected) observables. This is reminiscent of satisfying the locality condition in relativistic quantum field theories. Comment: 6 pages, v3: minor changes
