12A  Conferral of juridical personality and legal capacities
 (1) This section applies to an organisation if:
 (a) either:
 (i) the organisation is established by an instrument to which 2 or more countries are parties; or
 (ii) an instrument to which Australia and one or more other countries are parties recognises the organisation as having international legal personality; and
 (b) it appears to the Minister that the provisions of this Act other than this section do not, or may not, apply in relation to the organisation, but that it is desirable that juridical personality and one or more legal capacities should be conferred on the organisation.
 (2) The regulations may confer upon a specified organisation juridical personality and such legal capacities as are necessary for the exercise of the powers, and the performance of the functions, of the organisation.
