Several States have concluded general agreements on the enforcement of sanctions imposed by the Court. An agreement on the execution of sanctions may also be of an ad hoc nature. Such agreements may be concluded between the court and a State in order to enforce the sentence of a convicted person. Reference is made on several occasions to the international agreements referred to in article 98, paragraph 2, of the Rome Statute, including agreements under article 98, bilateral immunity agreements (BIAs), impunity agreements and bilateral non-cancellation agreements. Since 2002, the United States has been negotiating these agreements with individual countries and has concluded at least a hundred. Countries that sign these agreements with the United States undertake not to subject Americans to the jurisdiction of the International Criminal Court. The Coalition for the International Criminal Court lists more than 100 agreements in its fact sheet on the status of U.S. bilateral immunity agreements. Researchers are often interested in whether there is an immunity agreement between the United States and another country. This Guide lists the agreements referred to in Article 98 on Thomas.gov referred to in the Treaties in force and any supplementary agreements published in the latest edition of the Acts of the Treaty.

The full text of the agreements was compiled on the U.S. Department of State website on the State Department website reporting international agreements to Congress under the Case Act. They are listed below by country and all documents are in PDF format.
