2. BIAs invalidate the intention for the ICC that any person who is subject to the jurisdiction of the court -LRB- which only triggers when an individual is a citizen of a state that has ratified the Rome Statute , or in the territory of a Rome Statute state -RRB- and commits the horrific acts covered by the Rome Statute should be brought to trial by providing a get out clause for the powerful .
3. The Bilateral Immunity Agreements that these states have entered in to undermine the court that these states have signed up to .
4. BIAs by one state , the United States , creates a precedent for other states to use and as they do so the field that is available for international criminal justice will become smaller and smaller .
5.
