Abstract

This article aims to analyze the headquarters agreement between Spain and the World Food Programme (WFP) concerning the WFP logistics base in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria (New York, 19-7-2012), from the perspective of the logistical and legal difficulties that arise in the provision of humanitarian and emergency aid in the event of a natural disaster; the challenges in achieving greater efficiency; and, in light of the above, to examine some legal contributions based on the regime of privileges and immunities under Diplomatic Law.
