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).

In the 1970s, a “third generation” rights emerged with the predominant support of the developing countries. In contrast to the individual’s rights (i.e., the first two generations rights), these are collective or group rights such as the right to development, right to healthy human environment, right to peace, and right to self-determination.

dedere. Accordingly, offenders are either to be
punished by the state where they are found or to
be surrendered to the state, which is competent
and willing to exercise jurisdiction over them.

a. Par in parem non habet imperium, i.e., an equal has no authority over an equal.
b. The principle of non­intervention, i.e., the matters related to the acts, policy and transactions of a foreign state should not stand to scrutiny by the territorial state, lest it would amount to intervention in the internal matters of another state.
c. Rule of comity or reciprocity, i.e., the accepted rules of mutual conduct as between states, which each state adopts in relation to other states and expects other states to adopt in relation to itself. It may otherwise be considered as an unfriendly act.
d. Implied grant of license to a foreign sovereign or state to visit or function within its territory signifies immunity and imposes an implied obligation on the territorial state not to derogate from such a grant.

The role of harm or damage in state responsibility is also a debatable subject. As evident from the Draft Articles, there is no general requirement of harm or damage before the State responsibility is actually laid down. In certain situations, mere breach of an obligation is enough to give rise to the responsibility of the state such as a minor infringement of the inviolability of an embassy or a consular mission. On the other hand, in trans-boundary environment pollution cases, such as river pollution, the actual damage needs to be established to fix the state responsibility.
