A perfect example is that laws in some countries are different then in others, so we don’t necessarily expect a foreign diplomat to abide by stringent decency laws (i.e. wife must wear a hijab in Islamic countries) when actively working in said country. It has become much more than this, but I believe it is where it starts from.
