3.—(1) In addition to its immunities and privileges under the International Organisations (Immunities and Privileges) (Multilateral Investment Guarantee Agency) Order (Cap. 145, O 16), MIGA enjoys the same freedom of communication as that enjoyed by a diplomatic mission under Article 27 of the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations, and for this purpose —| (a) | a reference to a mission in that Article is to be read as a reference to MIGA; | | (b) | a reference to a diplomatic courier or a diplomatic bag in that Article is to be read as a reference to a courier employed or engaged by MIGA or a bag used by MIGA (as the case may be) to send and receive the official correspondence of MIGA; | | (c) | a reference to diplomatic documents in that Article is to be read as a reference to the official documents of MIGA; and | | (d) | a reference to a member of a mission is to be read as a reference to a member of the staff of MIGA. |
| (2) Any immunity or privilege under sub‑paragraph (1) may be waived by MIGA to such extent and upon such conditions as MIGA may determine, except where the waiver prejudices the interests of MIGA. |
