A category identified by the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations (1961) within what used to be called the ‘ambassador\'s suite’, these are the members of the staff of a diplomatic mission who carry out, for example, interpreting, secretarial, clerical, financial, and communications tasks. They are distinguished from the diplomatic staff on the one hand and the service or domestic staff on the other. Controversially, however, the Vienna Convention gave them (and their immediate families) almost the same range of privileges and immunities as diplomats, and certainly all the important ones. See also family of a diplomatic agent. |
