in plain englishAI-generated · not legal advice

Foreign representatives to international organizations, and the officers, employees, and families of those organizations, get the same immigration, alien registration, fingerprinting, and foreign-agent registration benefits that foreign government officials and their families get. Those representatives, officers, and employees are also immune from lawsuits and legal process for things they do as part of their official job, unless their government or organization gives up that immunity.

(a) Entry, registration, and fingerprinting benefits. People designated by foreign governments to represent them in or to international organizations, the officers and employees of those organizations, and the immediate family members living with them, are entitled to the same privileges, exemptions, and immunities as officers and employees of foreign governments (and their families) get in similar situations. This covers laws on entering and leaving the United States, alien registration and fingerprinting, and registering as a foreign agent. This does not apply to people who are nationals (citizens) of the United States. (b) Immunity from suit for official acts. Representatives of foreign governments in or to international organizations, and the officers and employees of such organizations, are immune from lawsuits and legal process for acts they perform in their official role and that fall within their official duties — unless the foreign government or international organization involved waives that immunity.
