The Diplomatic Mission And Its Function

This paper presents issues regarding the diplomatic mission or diplomatic mission and its functions. The international context from a diplomatic point of view, and not only, has prompted us to address the theme of the diplomatic mission and diplomatic functions. In this paper, there is only a general framework on the diplomatic mission and its functions, and in a subsequent paper this subject will be discussed in more detail. The organizational structure of the diplomatic mission is directly influenced by the political situation, the economic issues, the cultural field, the military domain and others. Thus, the division of the departments and the areas of interest is also dictated. The establishment of diplomatic relations takes place through the simultaneous fulfillment of the following clauses: the holding of international legal personality and the competence to sign legal acts; the recognition by both sides of the international legal personality; the existence of the mutual agreement. It is important to note that there is no confusion between the diplomatic mission and its members, as it is a state organ, is a distinct structure. Diplomatic missions carry out their activities in two parts: they relate to the accredited state and also relate to the accredited state. Concerning bilateral diplomacy, the diplomatic mission is divided into the following categories: Embassy, Apostolic Nunciature, Legation, Internunciature, High Commissariat. The most famous diplomatic mission represents the embassy, being also the most important. For example, the Apostolic Nunciature is specific to the Holy Regiment, because besides its diplomatic functions, it also performs ecclesiastical functions. From the point of view of multilateral diplomacy, the diplomatic mission is divided into permanent representations or permanent delegations and permanent missions of an international organization to a state. Thus, the diplomatic mission and its functions are permanently a subject that can always be different depending on the international context.
