Diplomat and Diplomacy

A diplomat is a person appointed by a state to conduct diplomacywith another state or inteational organization.¹ The mainfunctions of diplomats revolve around the representation and protection of theinterests and nationals of the sending state, as well as the promotion of informationand friendly relations.²

Diplomats in posts collect and report information that could affectnational interests, often with advice about how the home country govementshould respond.³ Then, once any policy response has been decided inthe home country's capital, posts bear major responsibility for implementingit.⁴ Diplomats have the job of conveying, in the most persuasive waypossible, the views of the home govement to the govements to which they areaccredited and, in doing so, to try to convince those govements to act inways that suit home country interests.⁵ In this way, diplomats arepart of the beginning and the end of each loop in the continuous process throughwhich foreign policy is made.⁶

The home country will usually send instructions to a diplomaticpost on what foreign policy goals to pursue, but decisions on tactics - whoneeds to be influenced, what will best persuade them, who are potential alliesand adversaries, and how it can be done - are for the diplomats overseas tomake.⁷

In this operation, the intelligence, integrity, culturalunderstanding and energy of individual diplomats are critical.⁸ Ifthey are any good at their jobs, they will have developed relationshipsgrounded in trust and mutual understanding with influential members of thecountry in which they are accredited.⁹ They will have worked hard to understandthe motives, thought pattes and culture of the other side.¹⁰

The diplomat should be an excellent negotiator but, above all, acatalyst for peace and understanding between peoples.¹¹ Thediplomat's principal role is to foster peaceful relations between states.¹²This role takes on heightened importance once war breaks out.¹³Negotiation must necessarily continue but within significantly alteredcontexts.¹⁴

Diplomacy is the art and practice of conducting negotiationsbetween representatives of states. It usually refers to inteationaldiplomacy, the conduct of inteational relations.¹⁵ through theintercession of professional diplomats with regard to issues of peace-making,trade, war, economics, culture, environment, and human rights.¹⁶Inteational treaties are usually negotiated by diplomats prior to endorsementby national politicians.¹⁷ In an informal or social sense, diplomacyis the employment of tact to gain strategic advantage or to find mutuallyacceptable solutions to a common challenge, one set of tools being the phrasingof statements in a non-confrontational or polite manner.¹⁸
