Advice on international law and diplomatic immunity
Legal advice is a key element for diplomatic missions operating in a conflict zone. Lawyers provide advice on the application of international law, in particular the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations of 1961, which regulates the rights and duties of diplomatic representatives, as well as guarantees diplomatic immunity and protection.
Development of security and evacuation strategies
Lawyers also advise diplomatic missions on the development of security and evacuation strategies in the event of an escalation of the conflict. This includes the preparation of plans for the evacuation of personnel, the protection of mission documents and property, as well as recommendations for cooperation with local authorities and international organizations.
Analysis of documents
Verification of the legality of diplomatic actions
Document analysis is an important tool for ensuring the legality of activities of diplomatic missions. Lawyers analyze normative acts, contracts, agreements and other documents regulating the activities of the mission for their compliance with international norms and national legislation of the host country.
Assessment of risks and threats
Lawyers also analyze documents related to the security of the diplomatic mission, including intelligence reports, reports on the situation in the conflict zone and other materials. This makes it possible to assess risks and threats to mission activity and prepare appropriate measures to minimize them.
