II. Gotzborg Neutrality

7. Each Treaty Party recognizes that its citizens, when in the other’s territory, shall be subject to its laws and system of justice, and commits to a stance of non-interference where a citizen is subject to penalty for unlawful acts undertaken within the other’s territory.
IV. Diplomatic Immunity
8. Each Treaty Party shall grant onto the other's sovereign, and any accredited diplomatic officials, full immunity from prosecution for offences that may be committed within its jurisdiction. The immunity for diplomatic officials other than the sovereign may be waived on an individual case-by-case basis at the agreement of both Treaty Parties for certain heinous crimes.
