1400-AF85 202404 Unified Agenda of Federal Regulatory and Deregulatory Actions 1400 Department of State STATE Diplomatic-Agent Level Immunity

The Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations (VCDR) defines diplomatic agent and the level of immunity enjoyed by a diplomatic agent. However, because some other individuals who are not themselves diplomatic agents as defined in the VCDR also enjoy what is known as diplomatic agent-level immunity, the Department of State is proposing to create a regulation that would clearly and correctly define who enjoys diplomatic agent-level immunity and clarifies that the determination, which is both legal and factual in nature, is made by the Department of State.
