Questão jurídica principal
Whether Uzbekistan could invoke diplomatic immunities to oppose lifting of seals on the seized documents
Decisão extraída
No. After the diplomat's mission ended, immunity survived only for official acts and documents; the sealed documents were not shown to fall within that protected sphere.
Fundamentação extraída
Under Art. 39(2) VCDR, post-mandate protection covers only acts performed in the exercise of official functions. The seized items appeared private/financial/commercial and were not shown to relate to official mission activity.
