Judicial Immunity of Diplomatic Agents
Abstract
The diplomatic employee representing his country in other states enjoys several Privileges that support the effective performance of his duties, one of the most Important being judicial immunity.
This study focuses on clarifying the role of the diplomatic envoy, the key privileges granted to him, the responsibilities entrusted to him, and the Importance of granting him judicial immunity.
It also examines the consequences of exceeding the limits of such immunity, as affirmed by several international agreements most notably the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations of 1961.
