diplomatic archives

 
     
  The records (in the pre-computer age, ‘papers\') of a diplomatic mission, whatever form they may take and including any containers or other devices employed for their storage. The somewhat odd phrase ‘archives and documents’ was used in the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations to cover draft papers as well, these being regarded as not technically ‘archives’. Diplomatic archives, and for that matter consular archives, are inviolable at any time and wherever they may be. See also chancelier; registry.


The official papers of a ministry of foreign affairs, the earlier ones of which might have been deposited in a national archive and be available for public inspection.
