1____For centuries, the fact that diplomats represented

venerable principals – from powerful monarchs to

established states – guaranteed their protected and

4 privileged status. Whereas long-standing rules of diplomatic

immunity and privileges by and large continue to be upheld

in interstate relations, popular perceptions of diplomats have

7 changed in recent decades. To the extent that diplomats are

perceived as symbols of disliked countries, religions or

“-isms”, the quality of standing for others has been

10 transformed from a rationale for diplomatic immunity to a

rationale for political violence. No longer being inviolable

symbols, diplomatic representatives have increasingly

13 become highly vulnerable symbols.
