Agrément

Agrément is a specialized term in the field of international affairs, referring to the approval on the part of the receiving state with regards to the presence of the intended representative of another state with the intent of participation in a diplomatic mission.

In this procedure diplomatic connections consent by the Demande d' Agréation obtained prior to the appointment of a diplomat of the posting state. The posting state showcases an accreditation letter, which is presented to the appointed diplomat on his arrival by the head of state. He or she is, with the endorsement of these documents, accepted as a member of the corps diplomatique of the receiving state and added to a diplomatic list. The designated diplomat enjoys diplomatic immunity in the receiving state.

The state receiving the designated diplomat may refuse the Agrément without giving reasons to justify their choice, due to the designated diplomat being "persona non grata". The Agrément not being granted as the designated delegate in a timely manner is often seen as a signal to designate a different delegate.
