Abstract :
The Dissertation entitled "The Status of the Diplomatic Mission of a State in
the 1961 Vienna Convention Perspective and the Progress of Diplomatic Law ", aims
to identify and analyze the inviolability of the diplomatic premises in the receiving
state as stated in the 1961 Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations, the
jurisdiction of sovereign state, and the status of diplomatic missions in applying
extraterritorial jurisdiction to take measures that are inconsistent with the provisions
of Article 41 paragraph (3) of the Vienna Convention and the progress of diplomatic
law after the 1961 Vienna Convention setting up. Some theories are used to analyze
the issues raised in this dissertation such as: the extraterritorial/ exterritoriality
jurisdiction theory, the functional necessity theory, the sovereignty theory, the perfect
equality of state theory, the territorial jurisdiction theory and the reciprocity theory.
This prescriptive legal research focused on law enforcement and it was aimed
explaining to determine the truth of law. The study based on the provisions of
international law, particularly in the diplomatic law, namely the 1961 Vienna
Convention on Diplomatic Relations and the 1963 Vienna Convention on Consular
Relations and other laws (das-Sollen), as well as the application (das-Sein).
The status of inviolability of diplomatic premises in the receiving state has
not been absolute anymore. The progress of diplomatic law has shown that the
situation can changes the status of inviolability. The protection of the citizens of the
sending state who are involved in criminal act in the receiving state can be done
based on the rights of extraterritorial jurisdiction. In the event of the receiving state
has failed to implement international obligations to give mandatory access on
consular notification and when the failure has caused harm to the citizens, the sending
state is entitled to bring the case to international court. The granting of diplomatic
asylum in spite of being contrary to the Convention of Diplomatic Relations has
evolved into customary international law.
