protection of nationals abroad

Protection of nationals abroad refers to the assistance and support a government provides to its citizens when they are abroad, especially in difficult situations like emergencies, accidents, or legal issues. This includes helping with consular services, such as issuing travel documents, providing emergency relief, and advocating for their rights. Governments have a responsibility to ensure their citizens' safety and well-being overseas, working through embassies and consulates to offer timely and effective aid and to maintain good diplomatic relations with the host country.
