Article 24 Verdrag tussen het Koninkrijk der Nederlanden en de Organisatie voor het Verbod van Chemische Wapens (OVCW) betreffende de zetel van de OVCW

1 The privileges and immunities granted under the provisions of this Agreement are conferred in the interests of the OPCW and not for the personal benefit of the individuals themselves. It is the duty of the OPCW and all persons enjoying such privileges and immunities to observe in all other respects the laws and regulations of the Kingdom of the Netherlands.

2 This Agreement shall apply irrespective of whether the Government maintains or does not maintain diplomatic relations with the State concerned and irrespective of whether the State concerned grants a similar privilege or immunity to the diplomatic envoys or citizens of the Kingdom of the Netherlands.

3 The privileges and immunities granted to officials of the OPCW and experts under the provisions of this Agreement are granted on the understanding that the OPCW shall waive the immunity of the persons concerned in any circumstances in which the OPCW considers that such immunity would impede the course of justice, and whenever it can be waived without prejudice to the purpose for which it was granted.

4 The OPCW shall cooperate at all times with the appropriate authorities of the Kingdom of the Netherlands to facilitate the proper administration of justice and shall prevent any abuse of the privileges and immunities granted under the provisions of this Agreement by officials of the OPCW.

5 Should the Government consider that an abuse by an official of the OPCW or an expert of a privilege or immunity conferred by this Agreement has occurred, the Director-General shall, upon request, consult with the appropriate Netherlands authorities to determine whether any such abuse has occurred. If such consultations fail to achieve a result satisfactory to the Director-General and to the Government, the matter shall be determined in accordance with the procedure set out in Article 26, paragraph 2, of this Agreement.

6 The Director-General shall have the right and the duty to waive the immunity of any official of the OPCW or of an expert in cases when the immunity would impede the course of justice and can be waived without prejudice to the interests of the OPCW. In respect of the Director-General, the OPCW has a similar right and duty, which shall be performed by the Executive Council.
