extraterritoriality

Read a random definition: voluntary abandonment

A quick definition of extraterritoriality:

Extraterritoriality is when diplomats, foreign ministers, and royalty are free from the laws of the country they are visiting. This means they cannot be punished for breaking the law while they are there. It is also called exterritoriality. This is a special privilege given to important people from other countries to protect them while they are visiting.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Extraterritoriality refers to the freedom of diplomats, foreign ministers, and royalty from the jurisdiction of the country in which they temporarily reside. It is also known as exterritoriality. This means that these individuals are not subject to the laws of the host country while they are there.

Example: A foreign ambassador who is visiting a country is granted extraterritoriality. This means that they cannot be arrested or prosecuted by the host country's authorities, even if they commit a crime while they are there. However, if the ambassador is plotting against the security of the host nation, they may be arrested and sent out of the country.

Explanation: The example illustrates how extraterritoriality works in practice. It shows that while foreign diplomats and officials are granted immunity from the laws of the host country, there are limits to this immunity. If they engage in activities that threaten the security of the host nation, they can still be held accountable.
