diplomatic immunity
Diplomatic immunity is the magic phrase that states use to temporarily delete local laws, turning their envoys into VIP glitches in the justice system. It serves as an all-access pass to dodge everything from minor parking fines to major espionage charges. Ostensibly a pillar of international order, in practice it's the getaway car in the underground garage of global politics. When scandals erupt, its true power emerges: a discreet expulsion rather than a courtroom confrontation.
