The Vienna Convention, based on a draft prepared by the UN International Law Commission, codifies the established practices governing diplomatic relations. The Convention covers establishment of diplomatic relations and missions, use of flag and emblem, appointment of staff, privileges and immunities, inviolability of premises, persona non grata, and termination of diplomatic function among many other subjects.
