Summary/Abstract: For the sake of the complete and unhindered performance of diplomatic functions, as well as the application of diplomatic and consular law, immunities and privileges are enthroned as one of the central institutes of this branch of law. In the first part of the work, the author introduces us to different forms of immunity, privileges, their civil and criminal aspects of the diplomatic mission and diplomatic representatives.Building on them, in the second part of the paper, the author presents various examples of abuse of immunity and privileges in practice. Then the author analyzes the various mechanisms offered by diplomatic and consular law in terms of solving the problem of abuse of diplomatic privileges and immunities. In the last part of the paper, the author talks about the (un)necessary revision of the rules of diplomatic and consular law in the domain of diplomatic immunities and privileges, concluding that more effective control of the state of appointment is necessary, rather than a revision or any other radical change of norms in the domain of diplomatic immunities and privileges.
