Message | Herr Speaker, We wholeheartedly oppose this bill. It simply allows diplomats to be above the law. If they come to Dorvik and commit a crime, why shouldn't they be punished? Wilhelm Raabe, State Chancellor |

Message | Herr Raabe, They shouldn't be punished because they are the official representative of the other country's head of state. And why on Earth are you assuming that the diplomatic representative would come to Dorivsch Republik and commit a crime on purpouse. This just is not right. The Diplomatic immunity provides the punnishment for the representative but after they he or she is expelled from the state and is subject of punishment in their home country accoringly to their own law. It wouldn't just improve our presitge but also release our judicary system. Johanna Lauernberg, DSU leader. |

Message | Freu Laurenberg, If they commit a crime in Dorvik, they need to be tried in Dorvik, it is only fair. And we are not assuming they will do so, but in case they do, after all that is why Diplomatic Immunity even exists after all. Wilhelm Raabe, State Chancellor |
