Some years back when I lived in the Washington DC area there was a diplomat from one of the former USSR-states (I don't recall which) who was driving drunk, hit, & killed a teenage girl. His country pulled his credentials which took away his diplomatic immunity. He was convicted of DUI-manslaughter & went to prison.

@@Karlos1234ify probably refering to the Harry Dunn case, wife of a diplomat who didn't have diplomatic immunity was driving wrong side of the road and killed the teen.
The lady has admitted this on camera.
So let me get this straight. If someone with diplomatic immunity does me wrong, my only recourse is to act on my own? Got it.
You can report it to your the authorities really. They might be immune but they can be deported back to their country where the trial for misconduct will occur. Sad part tho is that the guy or gal won't be imprisoned in your own country
Well if u act on ur own u might get a new life in prison with a huge black bunkie

You posted this on the same day that a US diplomat ran over a woman crossing the street in Romania.
“There is no such thing as a coincidence”
The US can still order a diplomat to leave the country, and the leader of that country won't be too happy with the diplomat for being kicked out of the US since most countries value a relationship with the US.
So, it's in a diplomat's best interest not to break any laws, at least intentionally or knowingly.

It's crazy how they can get away with just about anything..
In my country the 2 kids of a diplomat beated severely one kid from my country (the boy was left unconscious bleeding and almost died). They just said sorry, the family fled my country, the diplomat was substituted and no one was charged. It still boils my blood everytime I remember this
I can't think about diplomatic immunity, without thinking about the great country of Petoria. Long live Peter. Good old classic Family Guy.
But all laws are a complete joke. In the UK the clowns in power had a party during lock down, laughing at those who were following the rules... If you break the law, just be smart about it.
Wasn't BOJO there?...At the clown party?
Petoria definitely comes in mind at least once when thinking of diplomatic immunity 😂

diplomatic immunity 😂😂
@@devonvanwaus927 ...just been revoked!
Because you're bleck
Same thought process lol
I just said this at about same time
First time I heard about diplomatic immunity was from Lethal Weapon 2. Those guys in that movie really took advantage of it. Loved the ending “Diplomatic immunity” *bang* “Just been revoked.”
That's where I learnt about it too.
@@cassiefuchs3657 I think that's where most people born in the 80's and early 90's learned about it from.
Diplomatic immunity should exist, it should protect the family members too, but it should be more limited. For example the diplomat's wife ran over a kid in a wrong way and killed him. Nothing should be able to get you out of so much bs. Also if someone intentionally does harm to innocents they should lose the immunity.
EDIT: Diplomatic immunity should be limited to the things that they can be set up to/accused of and wrongfully arrested. It shouldn't protect them from this kind of very obvious crimes. And definitely not where they can say: "Yes. We're guilty,but f your human and civilian rights".
It protects the family member
@@tanmaysingh267 I know. I've watched the video I'm commenting on and what I'm saying is that it's logical they should be protected, but no-one should be protected from a mistake like the diplomat's wife in this story. Because if she definitely drove faster in a zone where pedestrians are walking, if she drove as much as the sighs allow her, she would've probably just wounded the kid. Second she hit the kid while driving in a wrong way, so there are three big mistakes. Even the diplomat himself shouldn't be allowed to walk out of that one.
@@Apenimon444 my father was accused of driving his X5 over a man on footpath, diplomatic immunity saved him else he would be framed as a spy too
@@tanmaysingh267 if he really wasn't guilty I'm glad he got out.
@@Apenimon444 i don't know everything but i think he car was being followed by an unmarked car (on mission) they are trained to return to embassy ASAP in such cases even if you break a few rules, he hit a man doing so
Since the man didn't die the didn't escalate
I love how this guy gets straight to the point and doesn't take an hour to explain something simple
is that jerma in the thumbnail
Reminds me of a case here in my home country of Singapore, when a charges d'affaires (a fancy name for a deputy ambassador) committed a hit-and-run on three pedestrians, one of whom sadly passed. Due to diplomatic immunity, the charges d'affaires could not be charged here in Singapore, especially once investigations uncovered that not only was he the one behind the wheel during the hit-and-run, but also lied to throw off investigations before he fled the country.
Luckily, this story did not end on a downer note, as his home country formally charged the man with the crime he committed in Singapore, and found him guilty of the crime, and was dealt with accordingly (he got prison time, but he died before he started serving due to health problems).
These incidents make me wonder why there is no middle-ground solution to all of this. Both extremes, as exemplified, are extremely dangerous
It is called a Waiver for Diplomatic Immunity.
This video is ment to entertain, not inform.
Guy above is right. Your immunity isn’t binding and can be revoked given the severity of the offense.
Knowing you embarrassed your country in the host state is a punishment enough.
The waiver is the middle ground.
is that the sus guy?
Kind of sad that there's a lot of dishonesty and downright corruption with diplomatic immunity, the 19yo fella killed by the US diplomat being a prime example, she was driving on the wrong side of the road (because of course we drive on the left in the UK) and therefore guilty of driving without due care and attention leading to the death of the young lad, anyone else would be behind bars, but because of that little technicality, she got away scot free, while the family had lost a son and can't get any justice as a result...
It's really annoying that the US will not prosecute killers but their biggest enemy will
She was under the influence as well in the article I read
There isn't a lot of dishonesty or corruption. These were just cherry picked incidents that happened over a span of decades. The overwhelming majority of diplomats cause no issues within the countries they are staying in.
@@DoomFinger511 As do the overwhelming majority of the citizens and visitors of a country, but we still have laws, courts and prisons.
@@StefemPers What does that have to do with my comment? I was pointing out that the majority of diplomats around the world are not dishonest or corrupt.
Remember the incident in the 80's where LAPD uncovered a money laundering scheme by South African diplomats involving illegal gold krugerrands, drug smuggling and murders? The diplomat used Diplomatic Immunity to avoid arrest. They made a great documentary about it
Nice to see South Africans getting away with it for once😂

Power corrupts. Absolute power corrupts absolutely
Yep, diplomatic immunity is one of the reasons, diplomatic staff are often involved in espionage. Sometimes smuggling too.
Here in NYC, UN diplomats were notorious for running up parking tickets.
The leader of Suriname has an arrest warrant issued by Interpol that states “if he was to set foot in Europe especially Holland he be arrested on the spot.”
The host country chooses who it gives a diplomatic status. But once they give it to you and until your term at the ambassy end or they expell you of the country they cannot take it back. Once you're in your home country however, you are no longer considered a diplomat to them. And they can choose to out warrants out.

An American diplomat killed a pedestrian in my home country of Serbia, I think it was two years ago, claimed immunity, and got away with it as simple as that. Can you imagine the way the victim's family feels to this day?
Evil! We need to protest
I want to immigate to Serbia some day. I want to live in a nation that does not bow down to NATO or EU rules. Stay sovereign.
I used to live in Mexico City because my dad was a Special agent for HSI, which gave him diplomatic immunity and I remember him getting pulled over for speeding and pulling out his credentials, and the police officer just started apologizing for the inconvenience.

WHEN THE IMPOSTER IS SUS
Even I didn't know about the incident that happened in 1967 in our country. Thanks, infographics.
The Pyrrhic War is named after Pyrrhus, king of Epirus, who participated in the war. The way it is stated in the video make it seem like it was named like that because it was a Pyrrhic victory, also named after Pyrrhus. It is actually the other way around, the term Pirrhic victory comes from several costly victories won by Pyrrhus during this war
That diplomat is INSANE I wonder what things will he do
Ah, so this is why my parents wanted me to go to into politics... dang, I wanted to be a lawyer.
Politics is a two-faced man's game, son. What were your parents insinuating?

DI only protects the diplomat from prosecution in the host country; he can be prosecuted in his home country for any crimes he did while on tour (provided the conduct is also a crime within the laws of the home country).
Also, there's the possibility of the home country throwing him to the wolves i.e. Revoking his immunity
5:10 why wasn't she prosecuted
@@SilverVolo she was, she went on trial via a video link from the US on Jan 18th 2022. The US will probably never extradite her to the UK but if convicted she will most likely be arrested if she ever sets foot in the UK.
Diplomatic immunity? Like the bad guy from Lethal Weapon 2???
It would be interesting to see what the US would do it a British ambassadors wife did exactly what that wretched lady did to that poor lad.
Nothing, they would have diplomatic immunity. Maybe try watching the video first?
@@Coolcarting Immunity can be removed. This is typically an American thing, Let's hold the entire world to our morals, ethics and laws. But if you dare to criminally charge one of us we'll invade your country. (For that last bit, check "the Hague invasion act".
Lol, nothing. Diplomatic relations are more important to governments than any regular citizen.
Diplomats just have a better gaming chair
"My dog can bite whoever he wants" 😂
It's a gross oversimplification to say that the Harry Dunh case was "clear-cut manslaughter," under both British and American law most car accidents aren't criminal events, unless someone is under the influence, behaving exceptionally reckless etc.
She admired she knew she was driving on the wrong side of the road she deserves at least 25 years
driving on the wrong side of the road probably counts as exceptionally reckless
Driving on the wrong side of the road would qualify as behaving exceptionally reckless, wouldn't you agree?
So, when Peter Griffin was singing back in the day, he was right. We can't touch this.
“DIPLOMATIC IMMUNITY”
“It’s just been revoked”
great post man
Diplomatic immunity !
Has just been revoked.
If it's legal for them to commit any crime against us then it should be legal for us to commit any crime against them.
Look into: "Rosary Policy" government issued making any US city into a
'Sanctuary Sit E (For Non-Citizens' - should they do something illegal).
Only 1 action and declaration required for that to happen.
edit: I Agree with you.

Their tearing society apart
I remember a documentary I saw where Mel Gibson showed diplomatic immunity doesn't prevent getting shot in the head.
Not a documentary

jerma no don't do it
Diplomat: (attacks trained black belt.)
Immunity has just been revoked.
Yes we’ve all seen Family Guy: “can’t touch me!”
Used to work at Best Buy, that's where I found out that foreign diplomats are tax exempt.
Bro this ain’t it. My mom is a diplomat which means we have moved countries. While diplomats can’t technically be arrested by normal police there is a diplomat police force who can arrest diplomats. And let’s say for example that you violate a law in the country that you are posted in and the diplomat police force arrest you, you are immediately sent back and could even face trial in the country your sent from if the crime is severe. Anyway that’s all I had to say👍✌️
That's more or less what this video conveys though. You can't be tried in a host country with diplomatic immunity, but you can be taken into custody and sent back to your home country.
"This is SCRANTON!"
Hilarious
Around the year 388 BC, Rome was nearly destroyed by the Senones Gauls because the Fabii brothers invalidated their diplomatic immunity by taking up arms. The idea of international law goes pretty far back. Edit: The battle of the Allia River. Edit 2: The Romans even had a college of priests called the Fetiales whose nearly sole duty was to symbolically declare war on foreign nations by way of throwing a spear in the enemy nation's direction at the Field of Mars

DIPLOMATIC STREAMER COMMITS EGREGIOUS CRIMES AND ISN'T PUNISHED
i live in the uk and the wife of a senator killed a kid driving on the wrong side of the road, they flew her back to the us on a military flight and have refused cooperation since.
My mom worked for our embassy and we had diplomatic immunity, I used to get pulled over a lot for speeding, and I could literally park anywhere I wanted.. they'd just check my license and visa and let me go. We'd also get front seats in any show we went to, we didn't have rent or school fees, and people just didn't associate with us much :/... I never understood how powerful diplomatic immunity was until a couple of years later and I was back in sri lanka lol
So your mom worked for a sri lankan embassy in a foreign country. Which one?
So u abused it I see
He definitely screamed “THIS… IS…. SPARTAAAA!!!!!!”
Wow he looks like a INSANE STREAMER I hope he doesn't commit any crimes

I learned from an episode of The Good Wife that even children of a diplomat are extended diplomatic immunity - unless the child is not in school full-time.
There’s a difference between being punished for simply bringing bad news, and being punished for willfully committing crimes.
Hey, I have a request I want to ask (if it's alright):
I want to know your/the show's thoughts about if the internet will last forever.
The Pope didn't get off Scott free...
He had to say ten Our Fathers and twenty Hail Marys.
Jerma no!!!
In Panama a US soldier was caught drinking while driving, killed a women while trying to scape, later was caught by Police burrrying the body, he claimed inmunity and went back to the US to face a Military Panel rather than Panama´s justice. Later sentenced to 30 years, had his sentence reduced twice and the US Army wanted to pay 90K to the family of the victim.
Omar Velez-Pagan is the name.
That’s factually incorrect. In fact, as a current diplomat who’s father is a defense attaché at an embassy abroad, I can say we have the freedom and breathing space of not being interrogated or held by the police, but in communistic countries the situations are a bit more serious. When it comes to conflict with the country you represent and the country you are in, the embassy officials and workers are targeted and threatened. As with the law, there are some perks/loopholes, but it doesn’t necessarily let you commit EVERY crime.
Yes, a diplomat may commit ANY crime under immunity without being prosecuted, see Art. 29 Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations which codified the customary international law. The only possible sanction of the receiving state is declaring the diplomat as persona non grata.
Cap
Wow !
I love this channel and their narrator.
