The International Organisations (Immunities and Privileges) (Scotland) Amendment Order 2022

Explanatory note

Reproduced verbatim from the instrument as published on legislation.gov.uk (Crown Copyright, Open Government Licence v3.0). The note is prepared by the responsible government department and is not part of the instrument itself.

This Order amends the International Organisations (Immunities and Privileges) (Scotland) Order 2009 (“ the 2009 Order ”) and grants immunities and privileges, insofar as they are within devolved competence, to the Inter-American Investment Corporation and its officers and employees.

Article 2 amends the 2009 Order to insert schedule 19 into that Order. That schedule makes provision about immunities and privileges for the purposes of the persons and organisation to which the schedule relates. These immunities and privileges are conferred in accordance with the Agreement establishing the Inter-American Investment Corporation done at the city of Washington, District of Columbia, United States of America, on 19 November 1984 (Cm. 9659).

This Order should be read together with the Inter-American Investment Corporation (Immunities and Privileges) Order 2022 (“ the UK Order ”), which confers additional immunities and privileges.
