The President can give representatives of other Organization of American States member countries, plus permanent observers to that Organization and their staff members, the same privileges and immunities that accredited foreign diplomats get. This comes with the same conditions and obligations that apply to those diplomats, and the President decides the exact terms.

Under terms and conditions that the President decides, the President is authorized to extend, or to agree to extend, to the representatives of member states of the Organization of American States other than the United States, and to permanent observers to that Organization, and to the staff members of those representatives and observers, the same privileges and immunities — along with the matching conditions and obligations — that accredited diplomatic envoys to the United States enjoy.
