United StatesDesignates Board of Peace as public international organization
The designation gives an international body legal immunities and affects how U.S. agencies interact with it and fund related activities.
What it does
Designates the Board of Peace as a public international organization eligible for privileges, exemptions, and immunities under the International Organizations Immunities Act.
Affirms the designation does not abridge any other privileges, exemptions, or immunities the Board may have or acquire.
Requires implementation consistent with law and subject to availability of appropriations.
States the order does not create enforceable private rights against the United States and clarifies it does not impair rights that arise from the designation.
Argument forDesignating the Board of Peace provides the organization with recognized legal immunities that facilitate diplomatic operations and protect its officials and property while working with the U.S.
Argument againstGranting immunities can reduce accountability and make it harder to pursue legal remedies for harms connected to the Board’s activities in the U.S.
