Head of State Immunity

Head of State Immunity is a legal principle that protects the leader of a country from being prosecuted or sued in foreign courts while they are in office. This immunity ensures they can perform their official duties without interference or fear of personal legal action. However, it generally does not apply to actions taken outside their official capacity or after they leave office. The concept promotes diplomatic relations and stability by respecting the sovereignty of nations, but it may also be questioned when serious crimes are involved.
