Dear Director General,

Hr.

generaldirektør,

I have the honour to refer to the following

Jeg har den ære at henvise til følgende

Recalling that the Kingdom of Denmark and the International Organization for Migration (IOM) signed the ‘Agreement between the Government of the Kingdom of Denmark and the International Organization for Migration on the Legal Status, Privileges and Immunities of the Organization in Denmark’ on 13 July 2006;

I erindring om, at Kongeriget Danmark og Den Internationale Organisation for Migration (IOM) den 13. juli 2006 undertegnede ”Aftale mellem Kongeriget Danmarks regering og Den Internationale Organisation for Migration om juridisk status, privilegier og immuniteter for organisationen i Danmark”,

Considering that on 19 September 2016, IOM and the United Nations signed a relationship agreement, approved by the General Assembly in Resolution 70/296, and by the IOM Council in Resolution No.

1317, and that IOM is thereby a related organization of the United Nations;

I betragtning af at IOM og De Forenede Nationer den 19. september 2016 undertegnede en samarbejdsaftale, der blev godkendt af Generalforsamlingen ved resolution 70/296 og af IOM-Rådet ved resolution nr. 1317, og at IOM dermed indgår som en organisation under De Forenede Nationer,

Acknowledging that on 22 September 2022, Denmark and the United Nations signed the ‘Agreement between the United Nations and the Kingdom of Denmark concerning the Status of the Offices of the United Nations in the Kingdom of Denmark’ (the “Agreement”), as well as supplementary agreements pursuant to Article 26 of the Agreement, including the ‘Exchange of Letters on Immunity of Danish Nationals’, the ‘Exchange of Letters on EU Law’ and the ‘Exchange of Letters on Transitional Arrangements’ relating to the Agreement (collectively, the “underlying legal documents”, including the guidance document ‘Supplementary Paper on Operational Guidelines’), to ensure that the various entities of the United Nations in Denmark are operating under the same legal framework;

I erkendelse af at Danmark og De Forenede Nationer den 22. september 2022 undertegnede ”Aftale mellem De Forenede Nationer og Kongeriget Danmark om status for De Forenede Nationers kontorer i Kongeriget Danmark” (”aftalen”) samt tillægsaftaler i henhold til aftalens artikel 26, herunder ”Brevveksling om danske statsborgeres immunitet”, ”Brevveksling om EU-retten” og ”Brevveksling om overgangsbestemmelser” vedrørende aftalen (samlet benævnt ”de underliggende juridiske dokumenter”, herunder vejledningen ”Supplerende dokument om operationelle retningslinjer”, for at sikre, at de forskellige enheder under De Forenede Nationer i Danmark arbejder inden for de samme retlige rammer,

I have further the honour to propose that the Kingdom of Denmark and the International Organization for Migration agree as follows

Jeg har endvidere den ære at foreslå, at Kongeriget Danmark og Den Internationale Organisation for Migration bliver enige om følgende

The Agreement and the underlying legal documents between Denmark and the United Nations shall apply mutatis mutandis to IOM in Denmark, subject to the present Exchange of Letters, in accordance with Article 28 (6) of the Agreement stating that the ‘Agreement shall apply to other Offices, including Specialized Agencies and related organizations of the United Nations system, that have concluded an exchange of letters with Denmark applying the Agreement mutatis mutandis to such entity, and terminating any relevant existing host country agreement between Denmark and such entity, which shall enter into force as at the date of signature of the relevant exchange of letters’.

Aftalen og de underliggende juridiske dokumenter mellem Danmark og De Forenede Nationer finder tilsvarende anvendelse på IOM i Danmark, i henhold til den nærværende brevveksling, i overensstemmelse med artikel 28, stk. 6, i aftalen, hvoraf det fremgår, at ”aftalen er gældende for andre kontorer, herunder særorganisationer og tilknyttede organisationer i FN-systemet, som har haft en brevveksling med Danmark om at lade aftalen finde tilsvarende anvendelse på en sådan enhed og om at bringe enhver relevant bestående værtskabsaftale mellem Danmark og en sådan enhed til ophør, idet aftalen i så fald træder i kraft på datoen for undertegnelsen af den pågældende brevveksling”.

The International Organization for Migration, as well as the Director General and the Deputy Directors General of IOM, and the staff of the Organization, shall continue to enjoy in the Kingdom of Denmark, the same privileges and immunities as those granted to specialized agencies of the United Nations and as those granted to executive heads and to the staff of the Organization in Denmark respectively by virtue of the Convention on the Privileges and Immunities of the Specialized Agencies adopted by the General Assembly on 21 November 1947, to which Denmark acceded on 25 January 1950, without reservation.

Den Internationale Organisation for Migration samt generaldirektøren og vicegeneraldirektørerne for IOM og organisationens ansatte skal i Kongeriget Danmark fortsat nyde de samme privilegier og immuniteter som dem, der er tilstået De Forenede Nationers særorganisationer, og de samme privilegier og immuniteter, der er tilstået henholdsvis ledere og ansatte i organisationen i Danmark i henhold til konventionen om rettigheder og immuniteter for de særlige institutioner, som blev vedtaget på Generalforsamlingen den 21. november 1947, og som Danmark tiltrådte den 25. januar 1950 uden forbehold.

With respect to Article 21 of the Agreement, the Director General of IOM has the right and the duty to waive the immunity of any of the persons referred to in Articles 11 to 16 of the Agreement in any case where, in his or her opinion, such immunity impedes the course of justice and can be waived without prejudice to the interests of IOM.

Med hensyn til artikel 21 i aftalen har generaldirektøren for IOM ret og pligt til at give afkald på immuniteten for de i aftalens artikel 11 til 16 omhandlede personer, i de tilfælde hvor en sådan immunitet efter generaldirektørens opfattelse hindrer retfærdigheden i at ske fyldest, og hvor der kan gives afkald på immuniteten, uden at dette er til skade for IOM’s interesser.

If the International Organization for Migration agrees to this proposal, I propose that this letter and a letter of confirmation in response from the IOM shall constitute an agreement between the IOM and the Kingdom of Denmark pursuant to Article 28 of the Agreement, which shall enter into force on the date of signature of your response to this letter, and that on the same date, the Agreement on the Legal Status, Privileges and Immunities of the Organization in Denmark signed on 13 July 2006 will be terminated.

Hvis Den Internationale Organisation for Migration kan tilslutte sig dette forslag, foreslår jeg, at nærværende brev og et bekræftende brev fra IOM til besvarelse heraf i henhold til artikel 28 i aftalen skal udgøre en aftale mellem IOM og Kongeriget Danmark, som træder i kraft på datoen for undertegnelsen af Deres besvarelse af dette brev, og at aftalen af 13. juli 2006 om juridisk status, privilegier og immuniteter for organisationen i Danmark på samme dato bringes til ophør.

Please accept, Excellency, the assurances of my highest consideration.

Modtag venligst, hr.

generaldirektør, forsikringen om min mest udmærkede højagtelse

Hvis den Internationale Organisation for Migration kan tilslutte sig dette forslag, foreslår jeg, at nærværende brev og et bekræftende brev fra IOM til besvarelse heraf i henhold til artikel 28 i aftalen skal udgøre en aftale mellem IOM og Kongeriget Danmark, som træder i kraft på datoen for undertegnelsen af Deres besvarelse af dette brev, og at aftalen af 13. juli 2006 om juridisk status, privilegier og immuniteter for organisationen i Danmark på samme dato bringes til ophør.

”

I have the honour to inform you that the IOM agrees to the proposals contained in your letter referred to above.

Your letter and this letter in reply thereto shall thus constitute an agreement between the IOM and the Kingdom of Denmark pursuant to Article 28 of the Agreement, which shall enter into force on the date of this letter and on this same date, the Agreement between the Government of the Kingdom of Denmark and the IOM on the Legal Status, Privileges and Immunities of the Organization in Denmark signed on 13 July 2006 is hereby terminated.

Jeg har den ære at meddele Dem, at IOM kan tilslutte sig de forslag, der er indeholdt i Deres ovennævnte brev.

Deres brev og nærværende besvarelse heraf udgør således i henhold til artikel 28 i aftalen en aftale mellem IOM og Kongeriget Danmark, som træder i kraft på datoen for nærværende besvarelse, og aftalen af 13. juli 2006 mellem Kongeriget Danmarks regering og IOM om juridisk status, privilegier og immuniteter for organisationen i Danmark ophører pr. samme dato.
