22 U.S.C. § 288fApplicability of reciprocity laws

submitted 81 years ago by ch. 652 to r/title-22-FOREIGN-RELATIONS-AND-INTERCOURSE · 119 words · no verdicts yet

in plain englishAI-generated · not legal advice

International organizations, and their officers, employees, and families, get their privileges, exemptions, and immunities even if a foreign government would normally need to grant the same reciprocal treatment to the United States first. But the Secretary of State can still take those benefits away from citizens of a specific foreign country if that country refuses to give matching treatment to U.S. citizens.

The privileges, exemptions, and immunities that this subchapter gives to international organizations, and to their officers, employees, and family members, household staff, and servants, apply even though similar privileges, exemptions, and immunities given to a foreign government (and its officers or employees) might normally depend on that foreign government offering the same treatment in return (reciprocity). However, nothing in this subchapter stops the Secretary of State from taking away these privileges, exemptions, and immunities from people who are nationals of a foreign country, if that country is failing to give matching privileges, exemptions, and immunities to United States citizens.

The privileges, exemptions, and immunities of international organizations and of their officers and employees, and members of their families, suites, and servants, provided for in this subchapter, shall be granted notwithstanding the fact that the similar privileges, exemptions, and immunities granted to a foreign government, its officers, or employees, may be conditioned upon the existence of reciprocity by that foreign government: Provided, That nothing contained in this subchapter shall be construed as precluding the Secretary of State from withdrawing the privileges, exemptions, and immunities provided in this subchapter from persons who are nationals of any foreign country on the ground that such country is failing to accord corresponding privileges, exemptions, and immunities to citizens of the United States.
