Summary
The United Nations and the Republic of Kenya
Considering that the United Nations General Assembly, by resolution 2997 (XXVII) of 15 December 1972, has established institutional and financial arrangements for the United Nations Environment Programme, and, in response to an offer by the Government of Kenya, has, by resolution 3004 (XXVII) of 15 December 1972, decided that the Environment Secretariat shall be located at Nairobi;
Considering that the Convention on the Privileges and Immunities of the United Nations adopted by the General Assembly of the United Nations on 13 February 1946, to which the Republic of Kenya is a party, is ipso facto applicable to the United Nations Environment Programme;
Considering that it is desirable to conclude an agreement, complementary to the convention on the Privileges and Immunities of the United Nations, to regulate questions not envisaged in that Convention arising as a result of the establishment of the headquarters of the United Nations Environment Programme at Nairobi;
Have agreed as follows:
Article I
