Only official instrument approaches authorised under FAR?

In which case I repose my question:

"Unless otherwise authorized by the Administrator, when an instrument
letdown to a civil airport is necessary, each person operating an
aircraft, except a military aircraft of the United States, shall use a
standard instrument approach procedure prescribed for the airport in part
97 of this chapter."

Since Part 97 only prescribes approaches for airports within the US (and
presumably associated territories), how does an N-registered aircraft ever
fly an IAP in IMC outside the US?


By complying with the applicable rules of the country in which they're
operating, of course.

That's sane, reasonable, and my armchair-understanding of how everyone
does it.

But what do the regs say? Does ICAO weigh in?
