What this does

This regulation cancels special legal protections previously granted to organizations associated with the Asian and Pacific Council (ASPAC).

Key change

Repeals (removes) the 1972 regulations that gave these organizations privileges and immunities under Australian law

Why this matters

International organizations usually receive privileges and immunities — special benefits like tax exemptions and protection from being sued (legal immunity) — to help them operate in member countries. This repeal removes those protections. This typically happens when an international body winds up or when a country ceases membership. ASPAC was a regional organization that became defunct during the 1980s.

Who is affected
