This section shall apply to any organisation declared by the Governor in Council to be an organisation of which Her Majesty's Government in the United Kingdom and the government or governments of one or more foreign powers are members.
The Governor in Council may, by order —
provide that any organisation to which this section applies (hereinafter referred to as "the organisation") shall, to such extent as may be specified in the order, have the privileges and immunities set out in Part 1 of the Second Schedule, and shall also have the legal capacities of a body corporate;
confer upon —
any persons who are representatives (whether of governments or not) on any organ of the organisation or are members of any committee of the organisation or of any organisation thereof;
such number of officers of the organisation as may be specified in the order, being the holders of such high offices in the organisation as may be so specified; and
such persons employed on commissions on behalf of the organisation as may be so specified,
to such extent as may be specified in the order, the privileges and immunities set out in Part 2 of the Second Schedule; and
confer upon such other classes of officers and servants of the organisation as may be specified in the order, to such extent as may be so specified, the privileges and immunities set out in Part 3 of the Second Schedule,
and Part 4 of the Second Schedule shall have effect for the purpose of extending to the staffs of such representatives and members as are mentioned in subparagraph (i) of paragraph (b) and to the families of officers of the organisation any privileges and immunities conferred on the representatives, members or officers under that paragraph, except insofar as the operation of the said Part 4 is excluded by the order conferring the privileges and immunities:
Provided that the order shall be so framed as to secure that there are not conferred on any person any privileges or immunities greater in extent than those which, at the time of the making of the order, are required to be conferred on that person in order to give effect to any international agreement in that behalf.
Where privileges and immunities are conferred on any persons by an order made under subsection (2), the Governor —
shall compile a list of the persons entitled to privileges and immunities conferred under paragraph (b) of that subsection, and may compile a list of the persons entitled to privileges and immunities conferred under paragraph (c) of that subsection;
shall cause any list compiled under this subsection to be published in the Gazette; and
whenever any person ceases or begins to be entitled to the privileges and immunities to which any such list relates, shall amend the list and cause a notice of the amendment, or, if he thinks fit, an amended list, to be published as aforesaid.
Every list or notice published under subsection (3) shall state the date from which the list or amendment takes or took effect; and the fact that any person is or was included or not included at any time among the persons entitled to the privileges and immunities in question may, if a list of those persons has been so published, be conclusively proved by producing the Gazette containing the list, or, as the case may be, the last list taking effect before that time, together with the Gazettes, if any, containing notices of the amendments taking effect before that time, and by showing that the name of that person is or was at that time included or not included in the said list.
