What does diplomatic immunity entail?
443121
Diplomats are given immunity according to the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations (1961). This means that diplomats cannot be arrested, tried, or made a party to a lawsuit. However, the home country can waive the immunity in the case of severe crimes such as murder, and if the diplomat is actually acting as a spy, the immunity does not stand.

Well, assuing you mean the secreatry of state it would be:\n\nThe secretary is the president's foreign policy adviser. The incumbent is responsible for coordination among various agencies in developing and implementing foreign policy; leading and coordinating U.S. representation abroad; conveying U.S. foreign policy to foreign governments and international organizations through U.S. embassies and consulates in foreign countries and diplomatic missions to international organizations; conducting negotiations and concluding agreements and treaties on issues ranging from trade to nuclear weapons; and coordinating and supporting international activities of other U.S. agencies and officials.\n\nHope that helps, below is a link to job descriptions for the presidents entire cabinet :-)

According to Vienna Convention 1961, 1963 etc. there are 3 categories of personal in embassies (and consulates)..\n1. diplomatic agents (they have an immunity from local income tax - they can be obliged to pay income tax at home)\n2. administrative personal (they have the immunity if they expats, if they are local staff they are obliged to pay income tax)\n3. service personal (they are mostly local) in the question of taxation they are in the same status as administrative ones.\n\nbesides that, countries, can give additional immunities (e.g. to local staff) when signing agreement about embassy, or consulate...

Barristral Immunity is becoming a issue: In commonwealth countries there is a tendency to say no immunity in civil cases in negligent preparation. The real issue is that : whether it would run the risk of double jeopardy. Its very hard to see the differences between a lawyer and other professional persons. Again this is a negligence issue and there is a general shift away from such immunity. Personally I'm all for it, not because its fair but because I'm a law student and it is in my best interest to keep it.

What is the jurisdiction for this scenario?

depends what sort of a diplomat that person is ...\ne.g an Ambassador overlooks the functioning of all the consulates and his embassy in the country. He is the link between the his native country and the country in which he is.\n\nThen there is a consulate general who is the head of the consulate and reports to the ambassador. There r several consualte generals in a country(one for each consulate). Then u have various diplomats who r repsonsible for the fucntioning of the consulate and embassy. Basically u can say its a mini-foreign government and the diplomats are the members of the mini governement in the foreign nation.\n\nMaximum work is done in the embassy and not the consulate.

In essence, diplomatic immunity puts some people outside the scope of certain laws if they have diplomatic status.  The following web site gives a good idea of the nature of the protections afforded to diplomatic personnel:\n\nhttp://www.state.gov/m/ds/immunities/c9127.htm\n\nDiplomatic privileges refer more to benefits, as opposed to protections.  One such privilege is immunity.  Other types of privileges afforded to diplomatic personnel include such things as special handling at a port of entry, and expedited baggage service, as well as reduced rates for certain goods or services.

Phonetic spelling at it's worse, LOL, it is felony.\n\nIf you are convicted of a felony you can lose your passport privileges, actually the country you are in might let you go but the country you are going to may refuse you entry.

If your country considers the failure to pay a criminal matter and it has an extradition treaty with the U.S.A., then you can be deported. If the failure to pay is a civil matter, then I am not sure what the consequences would be for you.

If the zombie has diplomacy he can do anything he wants without getting into any legal squabbles...he'll still have to worry about peta, though. I don't think zombies need immunity because they are very elusive.

here is the most important part, the rest is below\n\n"What If the Applicant Is Ineligible for a Visa?\n\nCertain conditions and activities may make you, the applicant, ineligible for a visa. Examples of these ineligibilities are:\n\nDrug trafficking \nHaving HIV/AIDS \nOverstaying a previous visa \nPracticing polygamy \nAdvocating the overthrow of the government \nSubmitting fraudulent documents \nThe consular officer will inform you if you are ineligible for a visa, whether there is a waiver of the ineligibility and what the waiver procedure is. See Classes of Aliens Ineligible to Receive Visas for more information. "\n\n\n\n\n\n"Fiancé(e) Visa (K-1)\n\nWhat Is a “Fiancé(e)”?\n\nA fiancé(e) is a person who is engaged or contracted to be married. The marriage must be legally possible according to laws of the state in the United States where the marriage will take place. \n\nIn general, the two people must have met in person within the past two years. The Department of Homeland Security's U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) grants some exceptions to this requirement. For example, it may be contrary in some traditions for a man and woman to meet before marriage. \n\nSometimes the USCIS considers a person a "fiancé(e)" even though a marriage contract has been concluded. In such cases, the American citizen petitioner and his/her spouse have not met, and they have not consummated the marriage. \n\nHow Does a Fiancé(e) Visa Work?\n\nSuppose you are an American citizen and you want your foreign fiancé(e) to travel to the United States to marry you and live in the U.S. You must file, Petition for Alien Fiancé(e) in the United States. \n\nFiling the Petition\n\nYou must file the Petition for Alien Fiancé(e), Form I-129F with the Department of Homeland Security's U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) office that serves the area where you live. See the Department of Homeland Security's USCIS Field Offices for information on where you can file the petition. Note: You cannot file this petition at an embassy, consulate or U.S. immigration office abroad. \n\nAfter the USCIS approves the petition, it sends the petition to National Visa Center for processing, prior to being sent the embassy or consulate where your fiancé(e) will apply for a K-1 nonimmigrant visa for a fiancé(e). \n\nExtending the Petition\n\nThe I-129F petition is valid for four months from the date of approval from USCIS. Consular officers can extend the validity of the petition (revalidate the petition) if it expires before the processing of the visa application is completed. \n\nA Fiancé(e) Is Also an Immigrant\n\nBecause a fiancé(e) visa permits the holder to immigrate to the U.S. and marry an American citizen shortly after arrival in the United States, the fiancé(e) must meet some of the requirements of an immigrant visa. \n\nApplying for a Visa\n\nThe consular section at the embassy or consulate where you, the fiancé(e) of an American citizen, will apply for a visa tells you of any additional specific requirements, such as where you need to go for the required medical examination. The following is required: \n\nA passport valid for travel to the United States and with a validity date at least six months beyond the applicant's intended period of stay in the United States. \nBirth certificate \nDivorce or death certificate of any previous spouse for both the applicant and the petitioner \nPolice certificate from all places lived since age 16 \nMedical examination (vaccinations are optional, see below) \nEvidence of financial support (Form I-134, Affidavit of Support may be requested.) \nTwo Nonimmigrant Visa Applications, Form DS-156 (A Form DS-156, prepared in duplicate.) \nOne Nonimmigrant Fiancé(e) Visa Application, Form DS-156K \nTwo nonimmigrant visa photos (each two inches 50 X 50 mm square, showing full face, against a light background) \nEvidence of a fiancé relationship \nPayme

If the secretary knew what was going on and it was criminal, she could be charged with conspiracy or aiding and abetting, or abetting before and after a crime. If she withholds information from the investigators, she could charged with that crime. If she profited from her part in the criminal work (like getting paid extra under the table), it could get worse.\n\nIf the criminal activity invoved the possible death of a person, she would have a reponsibility to report it to the police or to the person who was the target.\n\nChances are she will be able to get immunity if she cooperates and has useful information. She should get her own lawyer as soon as possible. She may be entitled to a lawyer paid for by her company.
