The current crisis with Hungary has made it clear that ambassadors are in the risk of losing their lives and their freedom if the nation they are an ambassador to is angered with the nation said ambassador represents. With this in mind, we would like to present a proposition to all the nations in the world, to prevent events like this from ever happening again:
- The person of an ambassador and his staff will be considered sacrosanct by the nation they are presenting their credentials to.
- The security of the ambassador and his staff shall be provided by the host nation or the embassy will be allowed to have its own protection.
- In the event of an ambassador or a member of his staff committing a crime in the nation they are working at, the host nation may not prosecute them, although they may be expelled from the host nation.
- In the event of an ambassador and/or a member of his staff being expelled, the host nation will provide them safe passage to either their nation or to a third neutral country, from where they may return back to their nation.
- The immunity of the ambassador and staff shall be held even in times of war.
This is only a list of suggestions, and any nation willing to help us develop a better list of ideas will be welcome.
We hope that this is the first step towards all nations in the world being able to have healthy diplomatic relationships between all of them.
