States conduct diplomatic functions in the territory of the receiving State with its specific permission. This entitles diplomatic missions and their staff to certain privileges and immunities and enables them to function smoothly.
Immunities that a diplomatic agent enjoys are as follows: • Right to travel freely in the territory of the receiving state, subject to the condition that he cannot go to the prohibited area that is important for the national security of the receiving state (Art. 26); • Freedom of communication for official purpose (Art. 27); • Exemption from social security provisions in force in the receiving state, except in case of servants for whom he must comply with the social security legislation as an employer (Art. 33); • Immunity from local and military obligations (Art. 35).
