Abstract

Today, the impact of diplomatic relations and its necessity on international interactions is undeniable. The ratification of various international treaties in the field of diplomatic relations, including the 1961 and 1963 Vienna Conventions, has added to the importance of this issue. The immunity of persons, property and diplomatic premises from aggression, persecution, vandalism, seizure and confiscation are among the rules laid down in diplomatic relations in the Vienna Convention and other conventions. Inspired by the teachings of Islam and principles such as the principle of fidelity to the covenant, the Islamic Republic of Iran, by acceding to these conventions, has committed itself to observing the rules of diplomatic relations. Accordingly, any attack on persons and diplomatic premises, in addition to opposing the Sharia, is also prohibited by law. Therefore, in order to prevent encroachment on the above-mentioned cases, international law has considered benefits and immunities, which have made it mandatory for the host countries to observe them. The host countries also take appropriate measures to prevent any aggression, destruction of places and espionage.
