Provisions as to state or diplomatic immunity
27.—(1) Any state or diplomatic immunity attaching to a person by reason of a connection with a state party to the ICC Statute does not prevent proceedings under this Part in relation to that person.
(2) Where—
(a) state or diplomatic immunity attaches to a person by reason of a connection with a state other than a state party to the ICC Statute, and
(b) waiver of that immunity is obtained by the ICC in relation to a request for that person’s surrender,
the waiver shall be treated as extending to proceedings under this Part in connection with that request.
(3) A certificate by the Governor—
(a) that a state is or is not a party to the ICC Statute, or
(b) that there has been such a waiver as is mentioned in subsection (2), is conclusive evidence of that fact for the purposes of this Part.
(4) The Governor may in any particular case, after consultation with the ICC and the state concerned, direct that proceedings (or further proceedings) under this Part which, but for subsection (1) or (2), would be prevented by state or diplomatic immunity attaching to a person shall not be taken against that person.
(5) Any Order in Council made under section 1 of the United Nations Act 1946 (c.45), as extended by section 23(5) of this Act as it applies in the United Kingdom, shall likewise apply in the Territory.
(6) In this section “state or diplomatic immunity” means any privilege or immunity attaching to a person, by reason of the status of that person or another as head of state, or as representative, official or agent of a state, under—
(a) the Diplomatic Privileges Act 1964 (c.81), the Consular Relations Act 1968 (c.18), the International Organisations Act 1968 (c.48) or the State Immunity Act 1978 (c.33) as applying in the Territory,

2. Las inmunidades y las normas de procedimiento especiales que conlleve el cargo oficial de una persona, con arreglo al derecho interno o al derecho internacional, no obstarán para que la Corte ejerza su competencia sobre ella.
1. La Corte no dará curso a una solicitud de entrega o de asistencia en virtud de la cual el Estado requerido deba actuar en forma incompatible con las obligaciones que le imponga el derecho internacional con respecto a la inmunidad de un Estado o la inmunidad diplomática de una persona o un bien de un tercer Estado, salvo que la Corte obtenga anteriormente la cooperación de ese tercer Estado para la renuncia a la inmunidad.
2. La Corte no dará curso a una solicitud de entrega en virtud de la cual el Estado requerido deba actuar en forma incompatible con las obligaciones que le imponga un acuerdo internacional conforme al cual se requiera el consentimiento del Estado que envíe para entregar a la Corte a una persona sujeta a la jurisdicción de ese Estado, a menos que ésta obtenga primero la cooperación del Estado que envíe para que dé su consentimiento a la entrega.
A partir de la fecha en que la Corte establezca un sistema de seguridad social, las personas a que se hace referencia en los artículos 15, 16 y 17 estarán exentas, en relación con los servicios prestados a la Corte, de toda contribución obligatoria a los sistemas nacionales de seguridad social.
