From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Diplomatic License was a weekly CNN International news program covering the United Nations which ran from 1994 to 2006. The show takes its name from the legal concept of diplomatic immunity. It was hosted by Richard Roth, CNN's UN correspondent. The program featured interviews with UN insiders such as Mark Malloch Brown, chief of staff to former Secretary-General Kofi Annan, as well as with Annan himself. Additionally, the program featured debates among a rotating panel of journalists covering the UN and international diplomacy, moderated by Roth. Although filmed in New York City due to the location of United Nations headquarters, the program did not air in the United States on domestic CNN. Thus only cable or satellite subscribers of CNN International were able to watch the program in the US.
