What does the Vienna Convention say?
Actually according to the Vienna Convention, no diplomat and his family of any nation stationed in another country can be arrested. Not only this, they cannot be called for custody or even for questioning. Even though Pakistan diplomats have not been arrested, but after the issue came to light, it has definitely caused embarrassment in the international community. At the same time, no statement has been revealed by Pakistan on this whole matter so far.
