Özet

The Ottoman Empire, which was in continuous communication with the surrounding world since its first establishment, built up a rich body of diplomatic correspondence over the course of its history. Among the most important headings of its documented communications related to diplomat immunity and encrypted correspondence. In spite of their diplomatic immunity, Ottoman diplomats acted largely within the framework of the customary law observed in the countries in which they operated. Thus, both the behavior of the Ottoman diplomatic representatives and their communiques were shaped less by statutory law than through the experience provided by international law. In this article We will base on another aspect of the capitulations, in which Ottoman historians are only interested in the economic aspect. Within the framework of the capitulations, the attitude changes of the Ottoman State on diplomatic immunities was traces determined.
