Extrateritoriality refers to the legal practice where certain laws of a country do not apply to individuals or entities from another country while they are in a specific location. This often occurs in diplomatic contexts, where diplomats enjoy immunity from local laws, allowing them to operate under the laws of their home country instead. This concept can also apply to international agreements, such as those involving international organizations or military bases, where specific legal frameworks govern the actions of foreign personnel. Extrateritoriality helps maintain diplomatic relations and ensures that foreign representatives can perform their duties without interference from local laws.
