Are there some Diplomat Actions that need looking into….?
DIPLOMATIC PRIVILEGES AND IMMUNITIES ACT
Diplomatic Agent- Diplomatic agents enjoy the highest degree
of privileges and immunities. They enjoy
complete personal inviolability, which means
that they may not be handcuffed (except
in extraordinary circumstances), arrested,
or detained; and neither their property
(including vehicles) nor residences may be
entered or searched.
Diplomatic agents also
enjoy complete immunity from the criminal
jurisdiction of the host country’s courts and
thus cannot be prosecuted no matter how
serious the offense unless their immunity is waived by the sending state (see the following
discussion).
While it is not ordinarily of
concern to police authorities, they also have
immunity from civil suits except in four very
limited circumstances:
(a) in connection with
==real property transactions not conducted on
behalf of the mission==;
(b) in connection with
==any role they may play as executor for or heir to
an estate being distributed in the host country==;
(c) in connection with the performance of
==professional or commercial activities outside
the scope of their official duties==; or
(d) in
respect of counterclaims on the same subject
matter when they have been the initiating party
in a suit. Finally, they enjoy complete immunity
from the obligation to provide evidence as
witnesses and cannot be required to testify
even, for example, if they have been the victim
of a crime
