"Does turning eighteen end a Moroccan child’s immunity? Chief Judge, Jay Bey Q&A"

Description

A Moroccan national child can inherit certain diplomatic protections, but only under specific circumstances. If the parent is a diplomat who appears on the official list of protected persons, then the child is also covered by the immunities granted to that diplomat. High‑ranking officials—such as Heads of State, Ministers of Foreign Affairs, and Ambassadors—are protected by immunities ratione personae. These protections apply 24 hours a day for the entire duration of their time in office. Family members of diplomats, as well as senior officials and judges, may receive protections under immunities ratione materiae. This category extends immunity only for actions performed in the course of official duties, and the family’s protection is tied to the diplomat’s functional role.
