| | WHAT IS DIPLOMATIC IMMUNITY |
| | Diplomatic immunity is not intended to serve as a license for persons to flout the law and purposely avoid liability for their actions. | | | Diplomatic immunity is a principle of international law by which certain foreign government officials are not subject to the jurisdiction of local courts and other authorities for both their official and, to a large extent, their personal activities. | | | Dealing with the concept of immunity poses particular problems for law enforcement officers who, by virtue of their oath and training, are unaccustomed to granting special privileges or concessions to individuals who break the law. |

| | Boerenveen is not entitled, as a matter of international law, to immunity from the criminal jurisdiction of the United States. | | | A claim of diplomatic immunity can generally be presented to the judicial forum where the legal action is pending; that forum (as this case) will usually be fully capable of resolving the issue. | | | We further submit that this Court should deny petitioner leave to file a petition for a writ of habeas corpus because Boerenveen's claim of diplomatic immunity is without merit and therefore not of sufficient "seriousness and dignity" to warrant this Court's consideration. |

| | These principles relating to personal immunities of diplomatic agents must be applied to Heads of State in their capacity of representatives of the state in its external relations. | | | Watts, supra note 7, at 35-81, explains how protection, privileges and immunity of Heads of State under international law are based, on the one hand, on the ratio of state immunity (for their official acts), and, on the other, on the basis of diplomatic immunities (for all personal aspects). | | | In the former case, immunity for private actions guarantees the scope of the mission and the fulfilment of the particular tasks involved, while in the latter, immunity is afforded in order to protect the general interest of the state to be represented (on the basis of a principle comparable to ne impediatur legatio). |
