Members of Diplomatic Missions

Diplomatic missions are traditionally the

principal communication link between the

country that sends them and the host country.

Accordingly, the staffs of diplomatic missions

(embassies) are afforded the highest level of

privileges and immunities in the host country

in order that they may effectively perform their

important duties.
