Page 50 - DIPLOMATIC PRIVILEGES AND IMMUNITIES IN FINLAND

2.3.2 Personal Inviolability
A privileged person is inviolable in a way that he/she shall not be liable to any form of arrest or detention. The receiving state has an obligation to refrain from exercising its sovereign rights and especially enforcement measures against a privileged person. The receiving state is also under a special duty to take all appropriate measures to protect the inviolability of a privileged person and to prevent any attack on his/her person, freedom or dignity.
The residence of a diplomat and of a member of the administrative and technical staff enjoys the same inviolability and protection as the premises of a mission. Inviolability applies also to their other property.
The personal baggage of a diplomat is exempt from inspection unless there are serious grounds for presuming that it contains articles the import or export of which is prohibited by law. The inspection will be conducted in the presence of the diplomat or a representative. However, subject to the relevant regulations on aviation safety privileged persons and their personal baggage are liable to screening for security purposes in the airports. Refusal of the screening and further inspection may lead to a prohibition to enter the flight. Please note also chapter 8 (Helsinki-Vantaa Airport).
