Diplomatic protection of citizens abroad. ... one of the primary duties and functions of a diplomat is to protect the interests of the nationals of his home state who may be resident or sojourning in the territories of the receiving state. The right of a state to afford protection to its citizens whilst they are abroad is a universally accepted canon of international law, and it is this right of his home state that a diplomatic agent exercises whilst looking after the interest of his co-nationals and making representations on their behalf to the government of the receiving state if they suffer harm or injury in the territories of that state.
