 For nearly 50 years, Eileen Denza's Diplomatic Law has been the go-to reference on the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations, used by ministries of foreign affairs and cited by courts worldwide.The 1961 Vienna Convention codifies the rules for exchange of embassies and the conduct of diplomatic missions worldwide, with the rules giving special protection to ambassadors among the oldest established in international law and respected almost everywhere. Understanding the Convention as a living instrument requires knowledge of its background in customary international law, the negotiating history clarifying its terms, and the subsequent practice of states and court decisions resolving ambiguities. Now in its fifth edition, Diplomatic Law continues to be an essential guide to changing methods of modern diplomacy, providing an article-by-article commentary and placing each provision in context. The book highlights important new trends in the application of the Convention and provides comprehensive historical context and commentary on its application by the UK, the US, and other States. It explores the interaction between State and diplomatic immunity, examines methods of establishing and conducting diplomatic relations under conditions of physical danger, and looks at increased evidence of disregard for the rules of secrecy in diplomatic communications. The fifth edition discusses recent cases and incidents in diplomatic law up to 2025, including Julian Assange's prolonged asylum in the Ecuadorian Embassy in London and the case of Basfar v Wong, where a domestic worker was kept by a diplomatic staff member in conditions amounting to modern slavery. Illuminating the evolving challenges and practices of modern diplomacy, this book is an essential reference for international lawyers, policymakers, and diplomatic staff. - Fully updated edition of the leading work on diplomatic law, cited by courts worldwide - Provides article-by-article commentary and context on the application of the Convention by the UK, US, and other states - Covers how controversial points in the Convention have been interpreted in literature and practice - Highlights important new cases and trends in the application of the Convention regime New to this Edition: - Incorporates relevant case law up to 2025 - Explores growing challenges faced by diplomatic missions, including increased violence against diplomats, cyber-attacks, and interference in elections - Examines the Convention's application to national employment legislation, particularly in cases of modern slavery Table of Contents: Introduction Commentary on Preamble Commentary on Articles 1 - 53 Commentary on Optional Protocols Appendix 1: Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations Appendix 2: Parties to Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations and to its two Optional Protocols Author Information: Eileen Denza, Former Legal Counsellor, Foreign and Commonwealth Office Eileen Denza is a former Legal Counsellor in the Foreign and Commonwealth Office.
