Because the Customs Cooperation Council is a universal multilateral international organization in the field of customs affairs,

In view of this, the article analyzes the legal capacity, privileges and immunities of the Customs Cooperation Council and investigates its internal institutional structure, based on a thorough elaboration of the text of the Convention on the Establishment of the Customs Cooperation Council of 15 December 1950, of the official sites of the Customs Cooperation Council and the Organization of Customs United Nations, as well as scientific and educational works of Ukrainian and foreign scientists.
Based on the results of the study, the following results were obtained. The legal capacity, privileges and immunities of the Customs Cooperation Council are limited, functional in nature, that is, they are granted with the aim of achieving the goals and tasks set for the organization, as well as fulfilling the functions assigned to it. It is appropriate to divide the capacity of the Customs Cooperation Council into international legal and private legal. The privileges and immunities of the Customs Cooperation Council are apppropriate to be classified into three groups: 1) the privileges and immunities conferred on the Council; 2) the privileges and immunities conferred on the officials of the Council; and 3) the
privileges and immunities of the representatives of the members of the Council, as well as the advisers and experts who are with them. The internal institutional structure of the Customs Cooperation Council is formed by an extensive system of bodies, which can be classified into three types, namely: representative bodies (Council, General Political Commission and Financial Committee); administrative (General Secretariat); executive (Standing Technical Committee, as well as other committees, subcommittees and
various working groups).
