The Convention covers establishment of diplomatic relations and missions, use of flag and emblem, appointment of staff, privileges and immunities, inviolability of premises, persona non grata, and termination of diplomatic function among many other subjects. The almost universal acceptance of this instrument reflects the importance of its subject matter to the international community. |
