Official narrative
The BIS is more or less off the agenda of commercially-controlled media.
"The Bank is completely removed from any governmental or political control."
Gates McGarrah, first president of the Bank for International Settlements, 1931[1]
Other opinions
Adam Lebor has written a book critical of this group.[2]
Legal status
A 1987 legal agreement between the Swiss Federal Council and the BIS to determine the Bank's legal status in Switzerland reaffirmed its unique status, including defining its "inviolability" as follows:
“1. The buildings or parts of buildings and surrounding land which, whoever may be the owner thereof, are used for the purposes of the Bank shall be inviolable. No agent of the Swiss public authorities may enter therein without the express consent of the Bank. Only the President, 2 the General Manager of the Bank, or their duly authorised representative shall be competent to waive such inviolability.
2. The archives of the Bank and, in general, all documents and any data media belonging to the Bank or in its possession, shall be inviolable at all times and in all places.
3. The Bank shall exercise supervision of and police power over its premises.”
(1987) [3]

| IGO | “Well after Argentina went bust in 1991 it offered most of its creditors about thirty-five cents on the dollar. About ninety percent of these people accepted that but some of them didn't and they tried to sue the bank In Switzerland because that's where its headquarters, but the Swiss courts and I think also the Swiss Federal Council have said that the bank is founded by an international treaty. It is inviolable: it cannot be sued.” | 2018 |
