Diplomatic Privileges

Diplomatic privileges refer to special rights and protections granted to diplomats and their families when they are working in a foreign country. These privileges include immunity from certain legal actions, exemption from taxes, and protection from arrest or detention. The purpose is to allow diplomats to perform their duties without interference or fear of local laws. This is governed by international agreements, such as the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations. Ultimately, these privileges help maintain peaceful relations between countries by ensuring diplomats can communicate and negotiate effectively.
