Diplomats do not make laws, nor do they enforce laws. They represent the interests of their country on behalf of the governing body.

Curious1 is always right.
In addition, if you are asking about personal legal problems overseas, of course any traveler is subject to the laws of the country in which he is located. If you get into legal difficulties, the US government can only provide limited assistance. You may need a local attorney. Here is information on using a foreign lawyer.

All they can do is negotiate with the country that the person is in trouble with...if a person is busted doing something in another country, they are applicable to those laws, but the diplomats can help with the negotiating process.
