This agreement (also known as the Headquarters Agreement, the Host-Country Agreement, and the Host-State Agreement) deals with the position of the UN\'s headquarters in New York. A headquarters district was defined, placed under the control and authority of the UN, and declared to be inviolable. The UN was given the power to make such regulations for the district as the UN\'s functions required, any US laws and regulations which were inconsistent with them were declared to be inapplicable within the district, but otherwise US law was to apply. Provision was made for the UN to establish communication facilities, and the representatives of its members and its officials were to enjoy freedom of transit through the United States to and from the headquarters. The members of permanent missions to the UN were to have the privileges and immunities in the United States which that state accorded to accredited diplomats. In sum, the UN headquarters was to be treated in much the same manner as an embassy. |
