Diplomatic relations

Diplomatic relations 1… states may be established by friendly 2…of any form between their governments; but permanent diplomatic relations 3… considered to exist only with establishment 4… a diplomatic mission, or preferably with the exchange of diplomatic 5… These are established by mutual 6… and on the basis of a mutual 7… of the functions that 8… be undertaken by the mission.

These functions have become generally accepted 9… past centuries, and have been 10…in the 1961 Vienna 11… on Diplomatic Relations.

Apart from their diplomatic functions, 12… of the diplomatic staff of mission may also act in a consular capacity.

There are 3 classes of 13… of Mission. Ambassadors belong to the first class. Usually the Ambassador is 14… Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary. Envoys, Ministers belong to the second class and 15… to the third one. A head of mission is appointed to a 16… on the approval of the receiving 17…. A head of mission is provided with credentials to prove his authenticity to the Head of the State to which he is 18…. These are alternatively referred to as 19… of Credence and are somewhat 20… in style. A head of mission of 21… rank is considered to have taken up his functions in the state to which he is accredited when he has 22… his credentials to the 23… of State. The ceremonies for the 24… acceptance of head of mission are held strictly in the order that they 25… to take up their functions.

The size of diplomatic missions may be agreed on a 38… basis; alternatively a state may 39… that the number of members of a mission should be kept within reasonable limits taking into 40… the circumstances and conditions in the host state and the 41… of the missions.

A state has the rights to 42… a head of the mission or member of his diplomatic staff to be unacceptable (persona 43… …) and to inform his government accordingly. In this event the diplomat’s functions are terminated and he is 44…. There are two principal grounds on which a diplomat may be declared persona non grata: those which spring from 45… weakness, and result in 46… or 47… behaviour; and deliberate acts 48… to the security or other interests of the state, carried out under the cloak of diplomatic immunity. A further possible pretext for a diplomat being so declared is as a 49…against a state that has declared one of its own 50… to be persona non grata; but although such practice is contrary to the spirit of international 51, it is sadly not 52….

A host state grants to those who work in the mission the personal privileges and immunity necessary for them to 53…their functions without fear or 54….
