Section 2c of the United States International Organizations Immunities Act is the crucial piece.
Property and assets of international organizations, wherever located and by whomsoever held, shall be immune from search, unless such immunity be expressly waived, and from confiscation. The archives of international organizations shall be inviolable. (Emphasis added.)
Inviolable archives means INTERPOL records are beyond US citizens’ Freedom of Information Act requests and from American legal or investigative discovery (”unless such immunity be expressly waived.”)
Property and assets being immune from search and confiscation means precisely that. Wherever they may be in the United States. This could conceivably include human assets - Americans arrested on our soil by INTERPOL officers.
Context: International Criminal Court
The importance of this last crucial point cannot be understated, because this immunity and protection - and elevation above the US Constitution - afforded INTERPOL is likely a precursor to the White House subjecting the United States under the jurisdiction of the International Criminal Court (ICC). INTERPOL provides a significant enforcement function for the ICC, just as our FBI provides a significant function for our Department of Justice.
RowdyFCC posted on 12/20 that it could have something to do with information Iterpol has on Obama. This could very well be true and to answer the question as to ‘why now’? It seems that the law suit the ‘birther movement’ started questioning BHO’s eligibility to be POTUS has been allowed to proceed and the court date has been set for Jan. 26. BHO’s lawyers motion to dismiss was denied. The court date will have the judge reviewing ‘requests for discovery’. Pretty interesting stuff.
Even if that is not a consideration, it should bother everyone that this can put us directly under the ICC.
