Reasoning:
Not submitting an argument is an obvious loss.
CON's case was was also pretty clean and tidy. Diplomats facilitate close international ties between nations, and Diplomatic laws protect them from both accidental infringements due to unfamiliarity with the host country's laws, and from being targeted as a criminal by a hostile host nation.
He also addressed the obvious PRO attack of an abuse of diplomatic immunity by pointing out that it can, and has, be waived by the diplomat's home country on a case by case basis.

Feedback:
PRO: make a case. Disappointing, since this was a cool resolution!

CON: you handled this pretty well. There wasn't really much you could do here. With no argument from PRO in a two round debate, it was clear you were going to win, and so you didn't need to construct a water tight case.

If I was to make one critique, it would be that some of your sentence structure didn't read well.
The middle section about the impact of repealing diplomatic laws was especially confusing. I had to read it several times just to make sure I was reading it right.

It's minor feedback because you probably put the bare minimum of effort into it... Understandably.
It was a very good way to handle a fairly annoying first round by your opponent. Well done for that. Hopefully the next one is better!
