Petition Action

Remove diplomatic immunity for all foreign diplomats and their families.

Petition Details

Diplomatic immunity in the UK is conferred on all entitled members of a foreign mission (and entitled family members forming part of their household) who have been notified to, and accepted by, the FCO as performing a diplomatic function.

Additional Information

Immunity is dependent on rank, and ranges from immunity from criminal and civil and administrative jurisdiction to immunity for official acts only.

If we truly believe in equality then nobody is above the law. We can't live in a society where there's one rule for the majority and another for the powerful elite, holding office.

If foreign diplomats have nothing to hide then they wouldn't require favourable treatment compared to the people they represent in their home countries.
