A quick definition of impunity:

Term: Impunity

Definition: Impunity means that someone is protected from punishment or consequences for their actions. For example, if a foreign diplomat gets a parking ticket, they might be able to ignore it with impunity because of their special status. There are different types of immunity, such as diplomatic immunity for foreign officials, executive immunity for government leaders, and parental immunity in some cases. Immunity can also refer to a person being protected from prosecution in exchange for their testimony in a criminal case.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: An exemption or protection from punishment.

Example: Because she was a foreign diplomat, she was able to disregard the parking tickets with impunity.

Explanation: Impunity means that someone is protected from punishment or consequences for their actions. In this example, the foreign diplomat was able to ignore the parking tickets without facing any penalties because of her diplomatic immunity.

Additional Example: The president has executive immunity, which means he cannot be sued for actions he takes while performing his official duties.

Explanation: This example illustrates how executive immunity protects the president from being held liable for actions he takes while carrying out his official responsibilities. It is a form of immunity granted to high-ranking officials to protect them from legal action related to their official duties.
