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.
