| 31. There is nothing in international law that provides permanent diplomatic immunity. |
|
The only way anyone other than a current President has any type of automatic immunity is if they are involved in a diplomatic mission in another country that agrees to their participation.
If one travels to another country personal or business reasons not related to official government business they do not have diplomatic immunity of any type.
