We are working to officially recognize ASEAN, CERN, and the Pacific Islands Forum as international organizations under U.S. law, so they can receive the same legal immunities and treatment as other global entities. This will help strengthen our diplomatic and scientific partnerships with these key groups.

Looks like Congress found a way to say ‘yes’ without spending a dime—classic move.

Recognizing CERN means backing science over suspicion—finally, some common sense!

If we’re giving immunity, can we at least get something tangible back instead of empty goodwill?
