From the resolutions for world congress. One point for every resolution you ve voted that won. Anyway the ai Will vote take three points to the leader everytime. You have to be Smart spending your diplomatic favour. Your suzerano cities gives you favour every turn.

The key to getting Diplomatic Points is to anticipate which resolution will win the vote without your input, and then vote for that resolution. You might be able to get a Diplomatic Point for free in this way, whereas even if you sink all your diplomatic favor into another resolution you might still lose and get nothing. Sometimes this might mean voting for a resolution that hurts you - however, if you are trying to get Diplomatic Points then that means you are working toward a diplomatic victory (because they have no other use), and in the end it doesn't matter how much it hurts as long as you win the game.

If you aren't sure which resolution will win the vote then you can use your diplomatic favor to buy more votes to try to increase the chance that your prediction will be correct. This is a sound tactic, but do try to save as much favor as you can for later. You will need it for when you have to outvote resolutions that attempt to remove your Diplomatic Points; winning those votes is key to (diplomatic) victory, and being nice won't guarantee that people don't vote against you.

There are also some wonders you can build that give diplomatic points. I think the Statue of Liberty is one.
