13 The International Organizations Immunities Act, enacted in 1945, granted certain international organizations “the same immunity from suit and every form of judicial process as is enjoyed by foreign governments.” 22 U.S.C. §288a(b) (1982). In 1945, foreign governments were absolutely immune from suit under U.S. Law. The immunity of foreign governments, however, was severely limited by the passage of the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act, by which the United States formally adopted the restrictive theory of sovereign immunity.
