[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A lengthy explanation of diplomatic immunity with examples.

https://www.thoughtco.com/diplomatic-immunity-definition-4153374

"On the more serious end of the crime spectrum, a foreign diplomat’s son in New York City was named by police as the prime suspect in the commission of 15 separate rapes. When the young man’s family claimed diplomatic immunity, he was allowed to leave the United States without being prosecuted."

This is not an abuse of diplomatic immunity. This IS diplomatic immunity. You can disagree with the concept, and fight to have it changed but this is how the game is played.

My prediction has been and still is this: The Sacoolas's will not return to the UK. The UK government will not ask the US government to extradite her, and the US government will not tell her to return. Her family will be reassigned. Period.

If I am wrong, I will gladly come on here and admit that I was wrong. [/quote]

One abuse of immunity is met with another?

We should handle it like the Georgians did:

Of course she won't go back. Doesn't mean that's the right thing to do.
