Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

This instrument cancels the 1984 legal privileges previously granted to the World Tourism Organisation in Australia, removing its special immunities and protections. It affects the UNWTO, its staff, and Australian agencies that treated it as privileged.

By repealing those arrangements, the organisation and personnel become subject to ordinary Australian laws—incl. taxation and legal processes—rather than diplomatic-style exemptions.
