- Abstract
- Diplomatic delegations sent by a state to conduct specific tasks are internationally referred to as special missions. This type of diplomacy is regulated through the Convention on Special Missions which also states the terms of immunity for the so-called ad hoc diplomats. Sweden has currently not ratified the convention and does not have any national regulation relating to special missions sent by states. Therefore, the question arises if Sweden needs this kind of regulation and what kind of regulation is suitable for Sweden in terms of immunity?

This study concentrates on both the Convention on Special Missions and inter¬national customary law to see what kind of immunity is applicable to special missions and ad hoc diplomats to this date.

Though, international customary law is not as widespread and reliable in all aspects.
To this conclusion the tenet principles of immunity are applied in the discussion to establish the coherent immunity for special missions. Based on primarily the theory functional necessity the thesis comes to the assumption that the Convention on Special Missions doesn’t motivate immunity to the current extent.
Last, the thesis indicates that there is a need of a national Swedish regulation. It is not necessary that the Convention of Special Mission itself is ratified and incorporated in Swedish national law, but instead a solely national regulation or interpretation practise could be in place (Less) - Abstract (Swedish)
- Temporära diplomatiska beskickningar mellan stater regleras internationellt genom ”The Convention on Special Mission”. Genom konventionen regleras också vilken typ av immunitet som gäller för ad hoc-diplomater. Temporära beskickningar har oftast ett specifikt syfte och verkar på uppdrag av en stat under en begränsad tidsperiod. Sverige har för närvarande inte anslutit sig till konventionen och har inte heller någon nationell reglering avseende tempo¬rära beskickningar från andra stater. Därmed uppstår frågan om konventionen är nödvändig ur ett svenskt perspektiv för att tillerkänna ad hoc-diplomater ”korrekt” immunitet?

Genom konventionen regleras också vilken typ av immunitet som gäller för ad hoc-diplomater. Temporära beskickningar har oftast ett specifikt syfte och verkar på uppdrag av en stat under en begränsad tidsperiod. Sverige har för närvarande inte anslutit sig till konventionen och har inte heller någon nationell reglering avseende tempo¬rära beskickningar från andra stater. Därmed uppstår frågan om konventionen är nödvändig ur ett svenskt perspektiv för att tillerkänna ad hoc-diplomater ”korrekt” immunitet?
Uppsatsens undersökning utgår dels från den immunitet som ges av konvent¬ionen, dels den immunitet som finns i den internationella sedvanerätten och visar på att immuniteten däremellan inte överensstämmer. Den immunitet som tillerkänns ad hoc-diplomater av konventionen är mer omfattande än i den internationella sedvanerätten. Dock är den internationella sedvanerätten ytterst begränsad med hänvisning till avsaknad av praxis och opinio juris.
Baserat på denna slutsats tillämpar analysen de immunitetsrättsliga grundsat¬serna om funktionell nödvändighet, personlig representation och exterritoria¬litet på resultatet för att dra slutsatsen att konventionen ger en för bred immunitet i förhållande till främst funktionell immunitet.
Uppsatsen beskriver avslutningsvis att det i svensk rätt finns ett behov av en reglering. Sverige behöver dock inte ansluta sig och inkorporera konventionen för att den immunitet som ges till temporära beskickningar ska vara konform med den internationella sedvanerätten. Det räcker med en nationell reglering eller tolkningspraxis. (Less)
