Diplomatic Protocol Program

Protocol is a set of codes and rules that we can hardly ignore in diplomatic practice. The ECSR has in recent years introduced protocol training for diplomats and for senior managers and military officers. The “Diplomacy and Protocol” programme is aimed at specific auditor delegations and covers a wide range of topics such as the status of diplomats, immunities, accreditations and rules of precedence.

The adaptation of the Protocol to cultural diversity, but also to conflict situations and the context of multilateral diplomacy is also taught.

The “Diplomatic Protocol” program provides a better understanding of the practical rules of
precedence, as well as the relational codes essential to diplomatic life and the proper conduct of international negotiations. This is an inescapable aspect of diplomatic life.

 

The programme is sanctioned by an end-of-session “expert protocol” certificate.
