The United States Diplomatic Security Service (DSS or DS) is the federal law enforcement and security arm of the U.S. Department of State. DSS special agents are unique in the U.S. for being both Foreign Service members and federal law enforcement officers with investigatory and arresting powers.

As Head of State, The Queen plays a vital role in UK diplomacy, supporting the work of the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office at home and abroad.

As a result of their title, diplomats are exempt from being prosecuted by the state in open court when they are suspected to be guilty of a crime. Not only are these agents free from the criminal jurisdiction of the state, they are also immune from administrative and civil jurisdiction.

The monarch is immune from arrest in all cases; members of the royal household are immune from arrest in civil proceedings. When a royal palace is used as a residence (regardless of whether the monarch is actually living there at the time), judicial processes cannot be executed within that palace.

Protocols specify the proper and generally accepted behavior in matters of state and diplomacy, such as showing appropriate respect to a head of state, ranking diplomats in chronological order of their accreditation at court, and so on.

In general, protocol represents the recognized and generally accepted system of international courtesy. The term protocol is derived, via French and Medieval Latin, from the Greek word πρωτόκολλον protokollon “first glued sheet of or onto a papyrus-roll”.

Protocol also has a symbolic value. The events and rituals, for example, of the formal start of the parliamentary year and The Queen’s Speech in the United Kingdom are meant to symbolise the democratic values of the country.

The symbolic side of the protocol is the story, so all of us participating in the event are able to understand the broader context of why we are here. Only if these two are applied in the right way, protocol is a facilitator of trust, connection and confirmation of the good relationship.
