Diplomatic immunity is an ancient concept that has lately come under attack. This paper provides an analysis of the concept in the hope of providing a new perspective which may lead to a more rational approach to the use of immunity. The amount of crime committed by diplomats is not high but some of their crimes are quite serious. By prosecuting mala in se offenses, adequate protection can be given the public and respect for the inviolability of the principal legate is maintained. Violations of these offenses should be prosecuted and punished under the auspices of the United Nations
