Strengthening US-Caribbean Partnership Act

This bill lets the President give the Caribbean Community (CARICOM) the same diplomatic privileges and immunities that other international organizations can receive under U.S. law. In plain terms, it treats CARICOM like a recognized international body under the International Organizations Immunities Act, if the President decides to do so and sets the terms and conditions. This is meant to support U.S.–Caribbean cooperation by making it easier for CARICOM to operate in the United States.

Key points:

• Who is affected: The Caribbean Community (CARICOM) as an organization operating in the U.S.
• What changes: The President may extend international-organization-style diplomatic privileges and immunities to CARICOM, under the same rules used for other such bodies
• When: If and when the President chooses to grant these privileges and sets the conditions
