Vienna Convention

The Vienna Convention refers to international treaties establishing rules for diplomatic and consular relations between countries. It sets standards for diplomatic immunity, communication, and the treatment of diplomats to facilitate peaceful and effective international relations. For example, it ensures diplomats can carry out their duties without interference or threat from the host country, while also outlining acceptable conduct for diplomats and their families. The most well-known is the 1961 Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations, which has been widely adopted to promote stability and mutual respect among nations.
