But that's a blanket argument, it could apply to any organization that offers help. It is unclear to me why it would be in the interest of anyone but the UN for the UN to have immunity.
- pgeorgi 13y agoWhich is why in some countries giving aid actually _does_ grant you legally immunity against claims over mistakes or accidents that happened while doing so. That includes first aid by laymen at the roadside and of course extends to international organisations. But in those cases, any attempt to cover up problems would likely reduce the protection (because it's not in good faith anymore)
- sspiff 13y agoThe UN has immunity as an organization. You could still sue the individuals who covered it up or ordered to cover it up.
