PARTNER with ASEAN Act

This bill extends U.S. legal protections for diplomatic immunity to the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), aligning it with the treatment given to other international organizations the U.S. participates in under existing law. It directly affects ASEAN as an organization, granting it the same legal immunities under the International Organizations Immunities Act (22 U.S.C. 288 et seq.) that apply to other groups like the United Nations. The bill makes no new policy changes but formally adjusts U.S. legal recognition for ASEAN's diplomatic status. (This is a procedural bill, so the summary is concise.)
