The United States ambassador to a strategically important country was recently discovered engaging in illegal activities in that country. Diplomatic immunity prevents the diplomat from being arrested there, but the activity has enraged the public of that country, who are now holding protests outside of the American embassy.

(A) The executive branch could use the power of recall to address the issue. Recall is the authority to withdraw an ambassador or diplomat from a foreign country. By recalling the ambassador involved in illegal activities, the executive branch can send a message of disapproval and take action to address the situation.
(B) If the executive branch does not address the issue, the legislative branch can exercise its oversight authority to hold hearings and investigations to bring attention to the situation. This can put pressure on the executive branch and create public awareness of the issue. The legislative branch may also pass legislation or resolutions condemning the diplomat's actions, applying political pressure on the executive branch to take appropriate action.
(C) In the context of the scenario, the judicial branch may not have a direct role as diplomatic immunity generally protects diplomats from being arrested or prosecuted in the host country. However, if the diplomat's illegal activities fall outside the scope of diplomatic immunity (for example, engaging in criminal acts unrelated to their official duties), the judicial branch of the host country could potentially pursue legal action. In such cases, the judicial branch would play a role in ensuring justice is served and determining the appropriate legal consequences for the diplomat's actions.
