Methods of the Research: The research method used is normative legal research by reviewing legal literature using statutory regulations, case approaches and conceptual approaches.Results of the Research: The results of the research showed that the diplomatic representative building is legally protected under Article 22 of the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations 1961. The convention obliges the receiving state to take all steps to protect the mission building against intrusion or destruction. This obligation applies even if the receiving country is in an armed conflict, whether international or non-international.
