Designating the Board of Peace as a Public International Organization Entitled To Enjoy Certain Privileges, Exemptions, and Immunities
Designates the Board of Peace as a public international organization, granting it the privileges, exemptions, and immunities provided under the International Organizations Immunities Act.
What this order does
What it orders
The order designates the Board of Peace as a public international organization in which the United States participates, entitling it to privileges, exemptions, and immunities under the International Organizations Immunities Act. The designation does not limit any privileges or immunities the Board of Peace may already hold or may later acquire by law.
The order contains standard cabining language: it does not create enforceable rights against the United States, does not impair existing agency authority, and is subject to available appropriations. Publication costs are assigned to the Department of State.
Who it affects
The Board of Peace, an international organization in which the United States participates, which gains formal legal status entitling it to diplomatic-style privileges, tax exemptions, and immunities under U.S. law.
Why it matters
The Board of Peace gains access to U.S. legal protections — such as immunity from certain lawsuits and tax exemptions — that federal law reserves for recognized public international organizations. This affects how the organization can operate on U.S. soil and interact with federal authorities.
