EXPLANATORY NOTE
(This note is not part of the Order)
Although the Specialized Agencies of the United Nations (Immunities and Privileges) Order 1974 applied to and in relation to UNESCO, that application lapsed when the United Kingdom withdrew from the organisation on 31st December 1985. The United Kingdom rejoined UNESCO on 1st July 1997. This Order restores the privileges and immunities previously enjoyed by UNESCO and persons connected with it by re-applying the 1974 Order to them. The Order will come into force on the date on which Annex IV to the Convention on the Privileges and Immunities of the Specialized Agencies of the United Nations (Cm. 855) enters into force for the United Kingdom.
