I don't think CERN is bound by Swiss laws. It's an intergovernmental organization with sovereign immunities.
- stuff4ben 3mo agoIs that a thing? Can an organization be given sovereign immunity? I thought that was reserved for actual countries?
- Symbiote 3mo agoYes, and it's not unusual for organizations like the World Health Organization, the UN or its agencies, the Red Cross etc. Examples: https://repository.cern/records/ypas9-j5751 https://repository.cern/records/ypas9-j5751 https://cds.cern.ch/record/1035110/files/cer-002693576.pdf https://cds.cern.ch/record/1035110/files/cer-002693576.pdf https://www.icrc.org/en/document/status-update-icrcs-legal-standing-explained https://www.icrc.org/en/document/status-update-icrcs-legal-s...
