(3) The Secretary of State may in any particular case, after consultation with the ICC and the State concerned, direct that proceedings (or further proceedings) under Part 2 of the International Criminal Court Act 2001 which, but for paragraph (1), would be prevented by state or diplomatic immunity attaching to a person shall not be taken against that person.
