Read the following passage carefully giving special attention to bold letters and answer the questions given below.

It goes without saying that the intricate web of international relations would collapse if the concept of diplomatic immunity were to be scrapped altogether. After all, diplomats operating in a hostile environment need some reassurance that they and their families will not be subjected to coercion and harassment. However, as with many other good ideas, this one too has been thoroughly distorted in practice. From New Delhi to New York, the rashest drivers are invariably the ones steering vehicles with diplomatic license plates. Smuggling, petty crime and espionage frequently thrive behind embassy walls. There was the controversy over a Pakistani diplomat posted in the US who beat his partner, whereupon the police intervened. And more recently, the son of the Senegalese ambassador literally got away with murder in India. Diplomatic immunity often encourages behaviour in way that not only portrays the diplomat's country in a very poor light, but could also be used by mischief-makers in the host country to incite popular resentment. In that sense, it could actually work against the interests of international diplomacy. While it may not be good idea to do away with diplomatic immunity altogether, perhaps the time is right to at least start reconsidering whom it should be applied to, and whether it cannot be modified in extreme cases. To begin with, diplomatic immunity should only be applicable to the diplomats, his or her spouse, and dependent children. It should not be available to a diplomat's child who is legally recognized as an adult. It should most certainly not by grant to other members of a vast diplomatic entourage who individually or collectively could be up to all sorts of hanky- panky. And in case of extreme wrongdoing, the accused should be tried, according to the laws of his own country, within his own embassy, but not be allowed to leave the host country till the case is satisfactorily resolved.
