Diplomatic immunity is a status that is not restricted to diplomats per se of which there are usually few but to any person employed with the Diplomatic Mission who the embassy government declares to be covered by it. DI is also usually granted to any family members accompanying a person covered by DI in their own right.

Yes.like you,I am reading all about diplomatic immunity online..

Great encyclopaedia the Internet.....but you can't believe everything that you read.

In the case of Yvonne Fletcher....we never found,what truly happened,from the information that I have read..there was much uproar when it happened though!.

As I recall, and I checked this with a relation now retired but is probably VERY likely to be au fait with the facts the guys fingered for the murder of Yvonne Fletcher were not subject to DI while in the UK but we're assisted in their escape by creatures from the embassy who were and so could not be questioned or charged with anything to do with the ghosting of the killers.

Re: Diplomatic Immunity

Just read this online..April 2019.

Libyan "suspect" in Yvonne Fletcher murder,could be forced to give evidence in high court action.

Something that was denied in 2017...I believe.

Re: Diplomatic Immunity

If diplomatic immunity is not there for getting away with things, then what is it for? It must be worth something or no one would bother having it. Of course unofficially, the Royals have it too.

Re: Diplomatic Immunity

I can’t believe what happed to Harry Dunn’s parents when they were invited to the White House yesterday.
I suppose you’ve read that they met Donald Trump and he held Harry’s mothers hand?
Then there was the suggestion that they meet the lady that crashed into Harry. They refused.
There was also a suggestion that photographers were at the ready to take pics of the meeting.

How insensitive and what a circus!

Why did they refuse, Art? I thought that was why they went over there - to meet her. Have I got that wrong?
