أحكام التمثيل الدبلوماسي ودوره في تعزيز العلاقات بين الدول

Abstract

This thesis addresses the subject of diplomatic representation as the primary tool states use to manage their foreign relations during peacetime. It traces the historical evolution of diplomatic representation from ancient civilizations to its comprehensive codification in the 1961 Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations. The study is guided by a central question: To what extent have the legal

provisions governing diplomatic representation contributed to strengthening inter- state relations and fostering cooperation under the 1961 Vienna Convention? It

employs both descriptive and analytical approaches to examine two main aspects: first, the conceptual and organizational framework of diplomatic representation— covering its nature and the domestic and external bodies responsible for conducting diplomatic relations; and second, the functional framework of diplomatic missions—addressing their primary and exceptional functions, their role in consolidating international relations, and the legal obligations of diplomatic envoys, with a specific focus on the Algerian context. The study concludes that the effectiveness of diplomatic representation depends on the extent to which domestic and external bodies adhere to their duties within the boundaries established by international law. It recommends strengthening institutional mechanisms, enhancing the qualifications of diplomatic personnel, and intensifying Algeria's presence in international forums.
