special status
Exemption from norms
Special status is a designation granting privileges, protections, or treatment different from the norm.
Countries grant special status to territories, organizations to members, governments to refugees: The region was granted special status under the treaty.
The phrase often implies advantages others don't receive, sometimes with resentment: Why does he get special status?
