Diplomatic law

In georgia, is it possible to file a Motion For Dismissal Due to Lack of Jurisdiction, and do you think the D.A. and Judge will adhere to the International Law , and if not what can I do?

Thanks

I see you have several different threads. Why don't you do us all a favor and tell us what's actually going on? Make it clear and concise...
Thanks

Anyone with diplomatic immunity knows how to invoke it. This makes me think a motion of the one envisioned is going to be considered frivilous.

Diplomatic immunity does not provide a carte blanche pass for any crime. Such protection does not automatically afford a "get out of jail free" card nor does it automatically protect one from the prosecution of especially egregious crimes in all cases.

While the home country/entity can renounce immunity for the diplomat, the rights and abilities of the host country, NO MATTER THE CRIME, are listed at:

Why would a court of law adhere to the law?

Maybe the best way to answer this is: If diplomatic immunity applied, you'd know it!

We can presume they will adhere to the law. But, as was previously mentioned, there are different levels of diplomatic status and associated immunity. Just what level of diplomatic status does he have? If he is simply a tourist, that would be zero .. if he is the ambassador, he'd have a lot. Where does this fellow fit in?
