EXPLANATORY NOTE
(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order amends the International Organisations (Immunities and Privileges) (Scotland) Order 2009 (“the 2009 Order”) and grants immunities and privileges, insofar as they are within devolved competence, to the International Criminal Police Organization – INTERPOL and its officers and employees.
Article 2 amends the 2009 Order to insert schedule 20 into that Order. That schedule makes provision about immunities and privileges for the purposes of the persons and organisation to which the schedule relates. These immunities and privileges are conferred in accordance with the Agreement between the Government of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and the International Criminal Police Organization – INTERPOL on the Privileges and Immunities of INTERPOL on the Territory of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.
This Order should be read together with the International Criminal Police Organisation (Immunities and Privileges) Order 2023, which applies across the UK and confers additional immunities and privileges.
