Designating the World Organisation for Animal
Health as a Public International Organization Entitled
To Enjoy Certain Privileges, Exemptions, and Immunities

Section 1. Designation. By the authority vested in me
as President by the Constitution and the laws of the
United States of America, including section 1 of the
International Organizations Immunities Act (22 U.S.C.
288), and having found that the World Organisation for
Animal Health (also known by its historical acronym

the United States participates within the meaning of
the International Organizations Immunities Act, I
hereby designate the World Organisation for Animal
Health as a public international organization entitled
to enjoy the privileges, exemptions, and immunities
provided by the International Organizations Immunities

respect privileges, exemptions, or immunities that such
organization otherwise may have acquired or may acquire
by law.

relating to budgetary, administrative, or legislative proposals.

(b) This order shall be implemented consistent with
applicable law and subject to the availability of
appropriations.
(c) This order is not intended to, and does not,
create any right or benefit, substantive or procedural,
enforceable at law or in equity by any party against
the United States, its departments, agencies, or
entities, its officers, employees, or agents, or any
other person.

(d) This order is not intended to, and does not,
impair any right or benefit, substantive or procedural,
