The Vienna Convention has established the rules for the appointment of foreign representatives, the protection for the diplomats and their families from any form of arrest or detention, the protection of all forms of diplomatic communication, the immunity from civil and administrative jurisdiction, and the obligation for diplomats to respect the laws of the host state. The only sanction to diplomats permissible under the Convention, in the absence of a waiver of immunity, is expulsion.
