Key facts
Diplomatic and consular law are two of the most fascinating areas of international law. They look back on a long history, but they also continue to raise intriguing questions which puzzle observers and which will be at the centre of the seminars.
What, for instance, was a Hungarian cardinal doing for 15 years in the American embassy in Budapest? Why did a Nigerian politician find himself inside a diplomatic bag? How did the International Court of Justice try to stop an execution in Arizona, and why did this involve questions of consular law?

What are the immunities that diplomats and consuls enjoy, and why is the inviolability of the premises of the mission important?
