International Organizations Immunities Act
California International Law Journal - Vol. 28, No. 1
The United States contributes approximately $12 billion each year to the operations more than 200 international organizations. Many of those organizations have headquarters or operations within the United States and have been granted some form of immunity from legal process under the provisions of the International Organizations Immunities Act (IOIA). The IOIA shields those international organizations from civil liability in the United States. The IOIA also provides immunity to key personnel of international organizations, but this article will only address the immunity of the organization. Until recently, some federal jurisdictions interpreted the IOIA to grant near absolute immunity to international organizations while others made an exception to immunity for disputes arising from the commercial activities of the international organization. The split of authority was resolved by the U.S. Supreme Court in 2019 “United States Contributions to International Organizations,” Sixty-sixth annual report to Congress, U.S. Department of State 2017. 22 U.S.C. §288
