If I'm not mistaken, a country owns the Embassy property in the host country.
If the host country can't defend it we have the right to do it ourselves and is why we have defending troops in our Embassies.
We wouldn't have been acting with impunity in Libya, just defending the lives of our citizen personnel and the property we rightfully own.
