There is no evidence of any kind, either for the former meaning or for the "present-day" one. On the one hand "negotiator of an interest party" and on the other hand "neutral emissary" are mutually exclusive. Without evidence, this set of conflicting claims is untenable. A negotiator of an interest party can also be neutral (such as an arbitrator) - what matters is that the commissioning party has an interest in an understanding or agreement. The goal would then not be to assert one's own interests, but to reach an agreement, e.g. B. because of legal security.

A messenger , also an emissary (from the Latin emissarius or the French émissaire = messenger, scout), is a messenger or negotiator of an interest party with a specific, often secret mission. Mostly, he is supposed to examine the negotiating situation and the main interests of the other party and to prepare the ground for further cooperation.

Today, however, the term emissaries also means a certain form of mediator . When two parties are at odds, only one of which is actively interested in resolving the dispute, it is possible for them to appoint an emissary to safeguard their interests. This then takes on the matter and negotiates with the opposing party.

In contrast to mediation, this form of arbitration does not require the two parties to meet. All negotiations take place through the neutral emissary, which is particularly advantageous if the parties treat each other with suspicion .
