Diplomatic Immunities and Privileges (Theoretical and Legal Aspects)

The article examines and analyzes the theoretical and legal aspects of diplomаtic immunities and privileges in International Law. The international legal norms and legal practices that enshrine diplomatic immunities and privileges are not just a tradition, but the common property of all civilized mankind. These norms were formed in the period of the Ancient World. No state can refuse to respect diplomatic immunity, because diplomatic immunity is a universally bin-ding institution of modern international law and cannot be canceled by the will of one state or even the will of several states. Despite this, there are certain gaps in diplomatic practice, directly related to diplomatic immunities and privileges (for example, there is still no clear definition in international law as to who is responsible for the deliberate destruction of diplomatic premises or for the death of a diplomatic agent of a third state located on the territory of one of the two countries that are at war between them).
