[Discussion-igo-rc] Example of laws on international orgs

[Phil Corwin]

Interesting, But it's only as strong as the enforcement.

Who enforces, and what are the penalties for violations?

Hello All,

Just been informed that Australia does have a law related to International Organizations:

So this is an example of applicable local law:

International Organisations (Privileges and Immunities) Act 1963

https://www.legislation.gov.au/Details/C2016C01053

" Except with the consent in writing of the Minister, a person (including a body corporate) shall not:

    (a)  use the name or an abbreviation of the name of an international organisation to which this Act applies in connexion with a trade, business, profession, calling or occupation;"

There is a list of organizations to which the act applies.


Looks like strong protection at least in Australia.

Regards,
Bruce Tonkin
