The Convention on the Privileges and Immunities of the United Nations is a Convention passed by the United Nations General Assembly on 13 February 1946 in New York.[1] It is sometimes referred to as the New York Convention. It defines numerous issues relating to the status of the United Nations, its assets, and officials, in terms of the privileges and immunities that must be granted to them by its member states. As of February 2016[update], it has been ratified by 162 of the 193 UN member states.[2]
On 21 November 1947, the Convention on Privileges and Immunities of the Specialized Agencies was adopted by GA resolution 179(II) to extend similar privileges to the specialized agencies of the UN. This convention has been ratified by 127 states.[citation needed]
