Editing Legal immunity (section)

===Immunity of government officials===
*[[Judicial immunity]], the absolute (sovereign) immunity of a judiciary in the course of their official duties
*[[Qualified immunity]], in the United States, sovereign immunity of all government officials and government employees performing tasks as part of the government's actions
*[[Absolute immunity]], a type of sovereign immunity for all government officials and government employees that confers total immunity when acting in the course of their duties
*[[Diplomatic immunity]], agreement between sovereign governments to exclude diplomats from local laws because grants of immunity are particularly important in intergovernmental relations, where traditions have arisen to prevent the [[civil servant|federal civil servant]]s of a country's [[diplomacy|foreign service]] cadre from being harassed by their host countries.

Such immunities may be granted by law (statutory or constitutional) or by [[treaty]].
