Regulation of Vienna (1815)

A landmark in the development of diplomatic procedure which was agreed at the Congress of Vienna. The Regulation divided heads of mission into three classes:

ambassadors, legates or nuncios (who alone had the representative character);

envoys, ministers or others, accredited to sovereigns; and

chargÃ©s d\'affaires, who were accredited only to the minister for foreign affairs. (This was modified at the Congress of Aix-la-Chapelle in 1818 by the insertion of another class â€“ minister resident â€“ between envoys and chargÃ©s d\'affaires, thereby making four classes in all.) However, the radical development came in article 4, under which it was agreed that, henceforward, within each class heads of mission would take precedence according to the date of the official notification of their arrival at their posting. See also diplomatic classes; presentation of credentials.
