What Is Diplomatic Immunity
The gist
Diplomatic immunity is a legal protection that prevents diplomats from being prosecuted or sued under the laws of the country where they work.
Explain like I'm 5
It's like when a referee in a game can't be punished by the players because they have special rules to keep the game fair.
Big picture
Diplomatic immunity helps countries work together smoothly by protecting diplomats so they can do their jobs without fear of unfair legal trouble.
