- Don't expect the Boob Tube to have things correct...
-
- There are several degrees of diplomatic immunity. Diplomatic officers
- differ fron consular officers who differ from other staff members.
-
- You have immunity ONLY when your name and title are submitted to, AND
- ACCEPTED BY, the host government. Your government can waive your
- immunity (i.e. throw you to the wolves) if they feel like it. The host
- government, lacking that, can declare you PNG and boot you out.
-
- You can write to the Office of Foreign Missions, Department of State,
- Washington DC 20520 for more details.
