In some cases, diplomatic immunity and extraterritoriality may be granted.

When relations are exceptionally tense, such as during a war, the interests section is staffed by diplomats from the protecting power. For example, when Iraq and the U.S. broke diplomatic relations due to the Gulf War, Poland became the protecting power for the United States. The Embassy of the United States in Baghdad ...
