Section 6(b), 'Diplomatic immunity,' states that UN officers/employees and mission representatives/officers/employees shall not receive Vienna Convention privileges and immunities, and that IOIA and UN Headquarters Agreement immunities shall not apply to the UN, its bodies, officers, employees, families, suites, or servants.

The Lee bill directly included the promised revocation language for UN-related diplomatic and organizational immunities in the United States.

The actions page shows only the 12/06/2023 Senate action: introduced, read twice, and referred to the Committee on Foreign Relations.

No committee approval, floor passage, enactment, or other action appears for the bill; this supports that the revocation was not delivered through S.3428.

The U.S. Code section in effect on April 11, 2025 authorizes privileges, exemptions, and immunities for designated international organizations; its executive-documents list includes 'United Nations, Ex. Ord. No. 9698.'

The baseline statutory immunity framework for the UN remained in the U.S. Code after Lee introduced S.3428, with no repeal shown in this source.

The presidential memorandum directs agencies to withdraw from listed organizations. For UN entities, it says withdrawal means ceasing participation in or funding to those entities to the extent permitted by law; it lists selected UN bodies but does not revoke diplomatic immunity for UN officials generally.

A later federal executive action partially reduced participation in some UN entities, but it did not deliver the specific immunity-revocation commitment.
