It provides the legal framework for practical day-to-day operations of Taiwan's representative office."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/international-organizations-privileges-and-immunities-of-certain-missions-regulations","history":"/api/acts/international-organizations-privileges-and-immunities-of-certain-missions-regulations/history","analysis":"/api/acts/international-organizations-privileges-and-immunities-of-certain-missions-regulations/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/international-organizations-privileges-and-immunities-of-certain-missions-regulations/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/international-organizations-privileges-and-immunities-of-certain-missions-regulations/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/international-organizations-privileges-and-immunities-of-certain-missions-regulations/documents"}}
