5.—(1) An international tribunal may make a request to the Minister for the surrender of a person—
|
|
| |
(a) who has been accused or convicted by that tribunal of an international tribunal crime, and
|
|
| |
(b) in relation to whom that tribunal has issued a warrant of arrest for the purpose of bringing him or her before the tribunal or to a place where he or she is to undergo imprisonment under a sentence of the tribunal.
|
|
| |
(2) The request shall be in writing and shall—
|
|
| |
(a) include as accurate a description as possible of the person whose surrender is requested, together with any other information which will help to establish his or her identity,
|
|
| |
(b) include a statement of each international tribunal crime in relation to which the request is made specifying, as accurately as possible—
|
|
| |
(i) the time and place of commission,
|
|
| |
(ii) the legal description of the crime, and
|
|
| |
(iii) a reference to the relevant provisions of the statute of that tribunal, and
|
|
| |
(c) be supported by the original or a certified copy of a warrant of arrest that has been issued by that tribunal and that indicates the purpose of the arrest.
|
|
| |
(3) If the information furnished by the international tribunal is in the Minister's opinion insufficient, the Minister may—
|
|
| |
(a) request that tribunal to furnish further information or documents as he or she thinks proper, and
|
|
| |
(b) fix a time limit for the receipt of the information or documents.
|
|
| |
(4) A request or supporting document which otherwise complies with this section is sufficient for the purposes of this Part even though the Minister received the request or supporting document before the commencement of this Act.
