What this bill would do
This bill, known as the "African Union Diplomatic Parity Act," seeks to amend the International Organizations Immunities Act.

These protections would apply to the mission as well as its members. The coverage would match the privileges and immunities enjoyed by permanent missions of member states to the United Nations. This extension is subject to certain corresponding conditions and obligations.
