This regulation withdraws those protections, likely because the organization was winding down or no longer required such status in Australia."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/association-of-tin-producing-countries-privileges-and-immunities-regulations-repeal","history":"/api/acts/association-of-tin-producing-countries-privileges-and-immunities-regulations-repeal/history","analysis":"/api/acts/association-of-tin-producing-countries-privileges-and-immunities-regulations-repeal/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/association-of-tin-producing-countries-privileges-and-immunities-regulations-repeal/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/association-of-tin-producing-countries-privileges-and-immunities-regulations-repeal/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/association-of-tin-producing-countries-privileges-and-immunities-regulations-repeal/documents"}}
