exchange of ambassadors between two countries
accomplishes their formal recognition to each
other. Before an ambassador’s appointment to a
country, the approval, or agrement of the future
host state must occur. It needs of credentials to
the head of state in a formal ceremony.

reporting)- Capabilities for obtaining
information vary considerably, but the can

information from globally based news services
and reports from other governments

resolve conflict and avoid the use of force. Face

bargaining offering counter offering until they
meet.
THE LEGAL SETTING OF DIPLOMACY

Diplomatic Immunity- is broad enough to protect


diplomats and families from the normal law
enforcement and civil suits to lessen fear or
interference. But in many times it fell in abusing of
privilege until some host state sent them back.

Extraterritoriality- This status meant that


embassy personnel could fallow their own country’s
laws inside embassy. Without the permission of the
embassy the host state can’t go inside the embassy.

more states to deal with one or more shared
problems. They deals with disarmament,
