Bill > HR4319

This bill amends the International Organizations Immunities Act to extend diplomatic privileges and immunities to the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN), a prominent international scientific research organization based in Europe. Specifically, the bill authorizes the President of the United States to extend the same type of legal protections and immunities to CERN that are typically granted to other international organizations in which the United States participates. These privileges might include exemptions from certain legal proceedings, tax considerations, and other diplomatic courtesies. The bill, which would be known as the "Strengthening Science Through Diplomacy Act of 2025", allows the President to determine the specific terms and conditions of these immunities, providing flexibility in how they are implemented. By offering these protections, the bill aims to support international scientific collaboration and diplomatic relations, recognizing CERN's significant role in fundamental research in nuclear and particle physics.
