Cite as: 586 U.S. (2019) 3 Syllabus inflated. The IOJA provides only default rules. An international or- ganization’s charter can always specify a different level of immunity, and many do. Nor is it clear that the lending activity of all develop- ment banks qualifies as commercial activity within the meaning of the FSIA. But even if it does qualify as commercial, that does not mean the organization is automatically subject to suit, since other FSIA requirements must also be met, see, eg., 28 U.S. C. §§1603, 1605(a)(2). Pp. 13-15. 860 F. 3d 708, reversed and remanded. ROBERTS, C. J., delivered the opinion of the Court, in which THOMAS, GINSBURG, ALITO, SOTOMAYOR, KAGAN, and GORSUCH, JdJ., joined. BREYER, J., filed a dissenting opinion. KAVANAUGH, J., took no part in the consideration or decision of the case.
