Sumario:This paper analyzes the reciprocal expulsions of diplomats from the United States and other Western countries and Russia, due to the intoxication of a former Russian spy, Sergei Skripal, and his daughter,Yulia, in the United Kingdom.This tit-for-tat responds to an old pattern of conduct between the powers and whose legal framework is provided, principally but not exclusively, by theVienna Conventions on Diplomatic Relations of 1961 and on Consular Relations of 1963.These norms include the principles of mutual consent and reciprocity that govern diplomatic and consular relations between States and establish their own regime of secondary norms to solve those cases in which their primary norms are broken.
