Vienna Convention

The Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations (1961) is a key international treaty that establishes a framework for diplomatic relations between countries. It defines the privileges and immunities of diplomatic missions to ensure diplomats can perform their functions uninhibited. The Convention outlines the legal status, rights, and obligations of diplomatic agents, facilitating diplomatic discourse and preventing nuisance or interference from the host country. Instrumental in modern international relations, the Vienna Convention promotes friendly relations by codifying mutual respect for sovereignty and diplomatic conduct.
