- MichaelZuo 5y agoThat’s exactly the point since otherwise there would be more opportunities for false flag attacks on, or by, diplomats overriding a non absolute immunity.
- trasz 5y agoThat might the point for some third world countries, and the US, which openly protect their criminals (usually war criminals) from justice. With more civilized countries, the idea is that the person accused is still being tried, but in its country court, with the assumption that if they are guilty, they will get sentenced anyways.
