    That’s not how diplomatic immunity works. A nation is welcome to ban entry to any foreign national.

    Diplomatic immunity is for crimes commited within a foreign nation. It’s also worth notting that the immunity can be revoked as well by the nation that said foreign national is from, there by allowing them to be arrested and tried under the local justice system.

      How does it work when the diplomat / head of state has been sentenced by an international court for war crimes or crimes against humanity?

        The host country can recognize it and arrest them… or not. Technically Mongolia should have arrested Putin when he visited not too long ago, they didn’t because that would have been political suicide.

        The international court is a completely different beast from a national court.
