we are really talking diplomatic immunity, and i think it is very important to ensure the safety of those representing their government overseas that it is maintained no matter the circumstances

The onus in this case should be on America to take appropriate measures to make sure people are responsible for their actions when representing their country, and punish them for breaking that code of conduct as appropriate

...ughhhh, the descriptor just escaped me, I’ll change the title ...thank you for your wisdom, which I quite frequently have immunity from, I think...

That's why the thread is titled ,thoughts on diplomatic immunity', it wasn't the representative it was his wife, why would she be afforded the same protections?

Was discussing this yesterday, how and why are diplomats above the law? Not just them their family too, you wouldn't expect a representative of a country to reside in another country and not have to abide by their laws...surely?
Even if they abide by yhe laws of their own country that was a crime, I didn't think anyone was above the law.
