I looked into it briefly, it appears the court held that the immunity accorded to international organizations is not absolute (as DC courts have held, and as sovereign immunity appeared to be in 1945 when the relevant statute was passed) but rather it is equivalent to the immunity afforded to states (which has weakened since 1945 and has commercial activity exceptions, among other exceptions). If this sounds relevant, I can put together a summary of the opinion.

U.S. Supreme Court Curtails International Organizations’ Immunity from Lawsuits

 

·         The U.S. Supreme Court recently decided that the statutory immunity of international organizations is subject to the same exceptions as the immunity of foreign states, including the exception for commercial activity.

·         The decision rejects the long-held position of the federal courts in Washington, D.C. that international organizations’ immunity under the International Organizations Immunities Act is absolute.
