Diplomatic Immunity
Diplomatic immunity is a principle of international law by which certain foreign government officials are not subject to the jurisdiction of local courts and other authorities for both their official and, to a large extent, their personal activities. The principle of diplomatic immunity is one of the oldest elements of foreign relations. Immunity is probably the most well known benefit of diplomatic status, it is by no means, the only one. What other occupation could possibly confer so much status; power, privilege, contacts, and money ? Diplomatic Immunity is a side-effect of the appointment but can never be the primary goal. Criminal or ethically inadequate candidates are not eligible for diplomatic appointments. Diplomatic privileges and immunities guarantee that diplomatic agents or members of their immediate family
may not be arrested or detained
may not have their residences entered and searched
may not be subpoenaed as witnesses
may not be prosecuted
