63. Coke's opinion on the privileges of Ambassadors—insists that nothing can prevent them
from being responsible for crimes against the Law of Nations, which are mala per se. 402
Note All nations, by positive agreement, have made an exception in favor of Am•
bassadors to be considered in the territory of the nation which receives him, as a
member of the nation which sends him.

The general consequence is, that an Ambassador, when he commits any crime, cannot be
punished for it, by the nation where he resides, when he commits it. The nation is
is bound to treat him, in all respects, as if he was a resident of his own country. He
can, therefore, be proceeded against no otherwise, than by a complaint to his own
nation. Privileges of Ambassadors—Rutherforth's Institutes, Chap. IX. Art· XIX.
