Even over 50 years after its entry into force, the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations of 1961 remains as important as ever and enjoys a high level of acceptance worldwide. Over 190 states have acceded to the Convention and apply its provisions in their daily diplomatic work. These comprehensively revised and updated commentaries provide those who apply the law with practical explanations on the Vienna Convention’s provisions. Key topics such as diplomatic immunity, the inviolability of the diplomatic mission and the protection of diplomatic couriers are addressed here in detail, with particular regard to German legislation and jurisprudence on such issues. The commentaries are rounded off by comprehensive information derived from the day-to-day work of the Federal Foreign Office and other foreign services.

The author investigates the birth of modern diplomacy. Drawing on a wide-ranging body of textual materials dealing with the ambassador from the 13th to the 17th century, he analyses how that figure was developed within a complex constantly renewed field of interaction between law, ethics and politics, where theory and practice are intertwined in an unresolved dialectical interaction. The first part examines how the legal status of the ambassador was shaped during the late Middle Ages and how this process influenced early-modern scholarship on diplomacy. The second part investigates how the emergence of the modern State both reinvigorated and reshaped the scholarly approaches to the different themes linked to the figure of the ambassador. The third part proposes an account of how the professional status of the ambassador developed within the examined body of literature. Through the prism of these approaches, diplomacy appears as a foundational matrix of modern political rationality.
