22 U.S.C. § 288f — Applicability of reciprocity laws
submitted 81 years ago by ch. 652 to r/title-22-FOREIGN-RELATIONS-AND-INTERCOURSE · 119 words · no verdicts yet
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 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.
