The offences that the amendment would modify are in Part 5, the part of the Act that deals with offences under domestic law. A fair reading of the Act would suggest that immunities under international law subsist but, given that there has been a lot of litigation on immunity, to make the task of our courts easier, it would help if we were to provide in the amendment, putting the matter beyond any doubt, that immunities under international law subsist with regard to offences under domestic law.
