This book is a commentary on the 1961 Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations, the universally-accepted framework for diplomacy between sovereign States. Widely-recognized as the leading work in the field, this book is written with the benefit of the author's deep and practical understanding developed through her work as a Legal Counsellor in the Foreign and Commonwealth Office. Denza places each provision of the Convention in its historical context. The negotiating background to the provisions is supplemented with a comprehensive commentary on the application of the Convention by the United Kingdom and the United States of America, together with expanded coverage of the diplomatic practice and jurisprudence of other States.
