	Diplomatic rank - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The relative ranks of diplomats from different nations had been a source of considerable dispute, made more so by the insistence of major nations to have their diplomats ranked higher than those of minor nations, to be reflected in such things as table seatings.
		The appropriate diplomatic ranks used would be determined by the precedence among the nations; thus the exchanges of ambassadors (the highest diplomatic rank) would be reserved among major nations, or close allies and related monarchies.
		The term Attaché is used for any diplomatic agent who does not fit in the standard diplomatic ranks, often because they are not (or were not traditionally) members of the sending country's diplomatic service or foreign ministry, and were therefore only "attached" to the diplomatic mission.

		The bulk of diplomatic missions are of a bilateral character, the exceptions being the missions accredited to multilateral agencies, like the UN Headquarters in New York, or WTO in Geneva, or the Disarmament Commission, or the UN specialized agencies that are located there.
		One instance of junior diplomats playing a crucial role was during the Cultural Revolution in China in 1966—69, when these language specialists, networking among themselves, became the principal information sources on the hand-written “wall newspapers” (through which different groups of activists propelled the events of the time).
		Consequently, the ranks of second and third secretary are reserved for support staff and the junior-most diplomatic level official is given the rank of first secretary, even on first appointment.

	Latvia - Flags from "Flaggenbuch" (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		EEandMP used to be the title of the head of a diplomatic mission to a country considered to be of lesser importance.
		Diplomatic relations normally operate on the basis of reciprocity, and since most (if not all) countries before WWII would send only an envoy or a minister to Riga, Latvia may well have sent only envoys and not ambassadors to other countries.
		The heads of the Latvian diplomatic missions in Washington and Berlin in 1940 were all designated envoys EandMP; it would not surprise me if the same were true of the Latvian chiefs of mission in other capitals.

		The words "diplomatic agent" are defined by Article 1 of the Convention as follows: "(e) a 'diplomatic agent' is the head of the mission.
		It is possible to conceive of dependents who are not members of a diplomat's family forming part of his household and for this reason the certificate does not, in my judgment, provide conclusive proof that the children fall within the provisions of Article 37.
		However far the diplomat has himself bowed to the foreign court's jurisdiction, he remains immune (subject of course to the exceptions in the Act of 1964, which in this case I have discounted), unless his sending state says otherwise: unless it waives his immunity.
