The chief purpose of establishing diplomatic relations and permanent missions is to serve a means by and through which states are able to communicate with each other. Such communications, which may for example take the form of conversations between the minister for foreign affairs of the state receiving the mission(the receiving state), and the ambassador of the state sending the mission(the sending state), pass from one government to another through the "diplomatic channel". Since each state normally has not only its own diplomatic mission in the capital of the foreign state, but also a diplomatic mission of the foreign state in its own capital, there are two diplomatic channels. 1, record 2, English, - diplomatic%20channel

... international law does demand a minimum international standard for the treatment of aliens. States are not obliged to admit aliens to their territory, but, if they permit aliens to come, they must treat them in a civilized manner. To put it in technical terms, failure to comply with the minimum international standards "engages the international responsibility" of the defendant state, and the national state of the injured alien may "exercise its right of diplomatic protection", i. e. may make a claim, through diplomatic channels, against the other state, in order to obtain compensation or some other form of redress. 1, record 5, English, - treatment%20of%20aliens
