Abstract Having witnessed various disputes, the subject qualification of international organizations is established from scratch. The functional necessity, while serving as a basis for justifying the legal personality, also contributes to entitling international organizations with immunity. In the early stage when international organizations sprung up, which was under the influence of major international conventions, most countries tended to grant a greater degree of immunity to ensure the independence of international organizations. However, as time went by, in the present society with an increasing level of human rights protection in international engagement, the legitimacy of absolute immunity entitled to international organizations under corresponding historical conditions is in gradual reduction. Limiting the immunity of international organizations as another possibility would play an active role in more effectively holding international organizations accountable and in improving the level of human rights protection. Although the restrictive immunity of international organizations has not become international common practice, its rationality should not be ignored. China should consider applying restrictive immunity when handling relations with international organizations.
