- Abstract
Consular relations as a form of inter-state relations are regulated in the 1963 Vienna Convention on Consular Relations and has been ratified by the Government of Indonesia with Law No. 1 of 1982. According to the 1963 Vienna Convention consular officers are divided into two categories, that is career/permanent consular officials and consul officials honor. The rights of immunity and privileges of honorary consul officials even though they are automatically attached to them, but the implementation of granting immunity to honorary consuls has not been regulated in detail by international law, especially in international conventions. This is a logical consequence of the absence of the same definition according to the law in each country. The purpose of this research is to find out the regulation of the honorary consul in Indonesian national law and its practice in Indonesia. This type of research is a normative juridical study with a statutory approach. The data source in this study is secondary data in the form of literature data which includes national legislation, international conventions, and other related documents. Based on the results of research and discussion it can be concluded that the arrangement of honorary consuls in national law is contained in Minister of Foreign Affairs Regulation number 1 of 2014 which specifically regulates Honorary Consuls. In practice, Indonesia has appointed 64 honorary Consuls in various countries.
