Before this date, those amendments were dormant; after this date, they became legally active and enforceable.\n\n**Why it matters:**\nInternational organisations operating in Australia (like UN agencies, the World Bank, or the WHO) typically enjoy special legal protections — exemptions from taxes, immunity from certain lawsuits, and inviolability of their premises. The Amendment Act updated these arrangements (adding new organisations or changing existing privileges). This proclamation simply determines *when* those updates take legal effect.\n\n**Who it affects:**\n- International organisations covered by the Act\n- Australian government departments dealing with foreign delegations\n- Courts determining whether an organisation can be sued or taxed"}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/international-organisations-privileges-and-immunities-amendment-commencement-proclamation-2013","history":"/api/acts/international-organisations-privileges-and-immunities-amendment-commencement-proclamation-2013/history","analysis":"/api/acts/international-organisations-privileges-and-immunities-amendment-commencement-proclamation-2013/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/international-organisations-privileges-and-immunities-amendment-commencement-proclamation-2013/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/international-organisations-privileges-and-immunities-amendment-commencement-proclamation-2013/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/international-organisations-privileges-and-immunities-amendment-commencement-proclamation-2013/documents"}}
