Consular Law

Consular law is a branch of external relations law that governs the activities and functions of consulates, which are diplomatic missions representing a country in another nation. Consulates assist citizens abroad, provide help with legal matters, and promote trade and cultural exchanges. They ensure the protection of their country's nationals, help in passport issues, and facilitate communication between the host country and their home country. Consular law outlines the rights and responsibilities of consular officials, including privileges like immunity from certain laws, to ensure they can operate effectively in serving their citizens and fostering international relations.
