WAEC - Government (2000 - No. 5)

Diplomatic immunity can be seen as a limitation to the rule of law because it grants certain legal protections to diplomats and foreign representatives that may exempt them from being subject to the same laws as the citizens of the host country. In some cases, diplomatic immunity may prevent legal action against diplomats who break local laws, which can be seen as an exception to the principle that all individuals are equal before the law.
