Best Answer

Ambassadors are granted diplomatic immunity under international law, which means they are protected from being arrested or prosecuted in the host country. This immunity is intended to ensure that diplomats can carry out their duties without fear of interference or reprisal. However, in serious cases, the sending country may waive the immunity of its diplomat and allow them to be arrested and face prosecution.
