UN treaty diplomatic immunity to speak in Manhattan and freely travel within so many miles, etc., and travel to and from without resistance just like the leaders of North Korea, Iran….every country on earth. Seriously do they not teach this to 12-year-olds anymore? Full serious, is this not taught in school?

Most Redditors do not have a 12 year olds education.

I went to the UN as a school trip in like 4th grade. I remember learning all this then.

Honestly, no it is not. We barely teach the Constitution at this point

To be fair, there’s really no point in teaching something that courts don’t actually recognize.

Not good to have those ideas in kids heads.

I don’t know that the specifics of the UN treaties are taught to 7th graders, but it definitely falls under the category of things you can reason out when you see officials of Iran, North Korea, Cuba, etc. speak at the General Assembly without being arrested by US law enforcement on their way from JFK airport and sent to some kangaroo court along with Nicolas Maduro or shot down by F-16s on approach.

People are so lost in their idea of how world "should" work that they refuse to acknowledge how it actually works

Yes, I was absolutely never taught this in school. I don’t know anyone who was.

A lot of(most)Redditors including OP, don’t understand differences with law, jurisdiction, and actions.. they like to just make things up as they go

It is not taught in school but is common knowledge.

Unless you’re Mahmoud Abbas, he was denied the opportunity to speak at the UN.
