Limited immunity from case to case basis. So not all diplomats from all international organisation get immunity, also,they don't derive their immunity from Vienna convention.
I didn't know that executives of international organizations can be considered as diplomats. I thought the idea of diplomats and diplomatic immunity pertained only to state-to-state relations.
So does this mean the head of FIFA can also use diplomatic immunity. Sounds ridiculous.
Diplomatic immunity - Wikipedia, the free encyclopediaThe Convention does not cover the personnel of international organizations, whose privileges are decided upon on a case-by-case basis, usually in the treaties founding such organizations. The United Nations system (including its agencies, which comprise the most recognizable international bodies such as the World Bank and many others) has a relatively standardized form of limited immunities for staff traveling on U.N. laissez-passer; diplomatic immunity is often granted to the highest-ranking officials of these agencies. Consular officials (that do not have concurrent diplomatic accreditation) formally have a more limited form of immunity, generally limited to their official duties. Diplomatic technical and administrative staff also have more limited immunity under the Vienna Convention; for this reason, some countries may accredit technical and administrative staff as attaché.
