Abstract
Abstract : The global pandemic situation has led States to take various health measures that may constitute obstacles to the proper functioning of diplomatic and consular missions and therefore to the proper application of diplomatic and consular law. The assessment of the conformity of these measures with the regimes established by the Vienna Conventions of 1961 and 1963 on diplomatic and consular relations is the occasion for a renewed analysis of this essential area of public international law. First of all, it is then possible to observe its peculiarities in the search for an implementation of sanitary measures in compliance with international obligations. However, this flexibility of application does not prevent breaches of diplomatic and consular law. The possible instrumentalization of measures to fight Covid-19 for purposes contrary to this regime then highlights its full membership of the international legal system and its links with the principle of reciprocity or the law of international responsibility.
