They are unrelated.
Diplomatic immunity is a legal defense available to certain foreign officials, including ambassadors and some senior consulate staff. It basically means they cannot be charged with or tried for any criminal action. However, they can be deported.
Dual Citizenship means that you have the full rights of being a citizen of two different countries. It depends on the country what those rights get you.

They are not the same:
Diplomatic immunity is a form of legal immunity and a policy held between governments, which ensures that diplomats are given safe passage and are considered not susceptible to lawsuit or prosecution under the host country's laws (although they can be expelled). It was agreed as international law in the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations (1961), though there is a much longer history in international law.
Dual citizenship (being a citizen of two nations), or dual nationality, is by far the most common type of multiple citizenship, as nothing in international law prevents anyone from establishing citizenship in two countries. Some countries do not allow its citizens to have the nationality of any other country, or permit this only in certain circumstances (e.g. Japan allow only underage nationals to have other citizenship). Others may allow a citizen to have any number of nationalities.

Diplomatic Immunity - The principle of diplomatic immunity dates from Antiquity, when the Greek government extended special status to foreign envoys. Basically, it allows representatives of foreign governments to work and operate under the laws of their home country while abroad. Does this mean that all foreign diplomats carry a permanent "Get Out of Jail Free" card? Definitely not.
According to the official U.S. Department of State web site, "The purpose of these privileges and immunities is not to benefit individuals but to ensure the efficient and effective performance of their official missions on behalf of their governments. Most of these privileges and immunities are not absolute..." Law enforcement can pursue diplomats who break the law, with the perpetrators usually deported to their home country for prosecution.
Dual Citizenship: being a citizen of two nations, or dual nationality, is by far the most common type of multiple citizenship, as nothing in international law prevents anyone from establishing citizenship in two countries. Some countries do not allow its citizens to have the nationality of any other country, or permit this only in certain circumstances

They are completely different. Diplomatic immunity is given to a small group of people who are only visiting the country. Dual citizenship is someone who is a citizen (most likely owning a home and businesses in both countries) of two different countries. Diplomats who are not a citizen of the US can come here and get diplomatic immunity. It doesn't mean they become citizens, it just means they are given special privileges.

Diplomatic immunity is a privilege granted by all countries to foreign diplomats which grants them immunity from prosecution for violating any laws of that country. Dual citizenship means that a person has citizenship in two countries. For example: If a pregnant female Canadian is on vacation in America and she births her child here, the baby would be an american citizen by birthright and Canadian by it's mother.

Do you mean diplomatic immunity and dual citizenship? Diplomatic immunity is awarded to certain members of the diplomatic corps in a foreign country. Dual citizenship is being a citizen of two countries.

diplomatic immunity allows a visiting foreign national to be above the law in a sense. grants them things like tax reductions, no speeding tickets etc. lots of fringe benefits. duel citizenship means that you are a legal citizen of two different countries.

the previous answer-er does no longer comprehend what he's speaking about, immediately in 2008 it is accessible to have twin citizenship, the U. S. would not "formally" understand twin citizenship, yet when you're citizen of yet another usa and favor to carry a passport for that usa and do inspite of the U. S. reaction is like "inspite of" i'm twin citizen of Jamaica and US and performance passports for both international places
