This chapter comments on Article 92 of the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court. Article 92 grants the Court authority, ‘[i]n urgent cases’, to request the provisional arrest of the person sought, pending presentation of the request for surrender and the documents supporting the request as specified in article 91. When a request is made to a State in accordance with article 92, the Registrar ‘invites’ the State to inform him or her of the arrest, and ‘to provide, inter alia’, personal details and other information concerning the arrest, including a confirmation of ‘the information given to the arrested person in respect of his or her rights’.

This chapter comments on Article 96 of the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court. Article 96 governs requests for legal assistance in accordance with article 93. It is broadly similar to article 91, which applies to the content of requests for arrest and surrender. Many of the same issues apply to both forms of request. It must also be read in conjunction with article 99, which applies to the execution of requests under articles 93 and 96. Formalities are established for requests for cooperation, in terms of the channel of communication and the language. Set out in article 87(1)(a), they apply to requests for legal assistance, including those contemplated by article 93. In urgent cases, a request may be made by any medium capable of delivering a written record, but it must subsequently be confirmed according to the formal mechanism.

This chapter comments on Article 93 of the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court. Article 93 requires States Parties to comply with requests by the Court to provide other forms of mutual legal assistance. The assistance is provided in accordance with national law. Where national law requires judicial intervention for its implementation, ‘domestic judicial authorities shall be engaged in the ordinary manner and in accordance with relevant procedures available under national law’. The forms of legal assistance include the identification and whereabouts of persons or the location of items; the taking of evidence, including testimony under oath, and the production of evidence, including expert opinions and reports necessary to the Court; the questioning of any person being investigated or prosecuted; and the service of documents, including judicial documents.

This chapter comments on Article 86 of the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court. Article 86 states the general obligation to ‘cooperate fully’ with the Court. This obligation to cooperate applies only to States Parties. If obligations to cooperate with the Court exist for non-party States, their source must be found elsewhere, for example in bilateral agreements or in Security Council resolutions. Indeed, Security Council resolutions have both confirmed that non-party States do not have any obligations under the Rome Statute and at the same time they have imposed obligations of cooperation on certain non-party States.

This chapter comments on Article 102 of the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court. ‘Extradition’ is a concept that raises difficult problems in national legal systems. For example, many States prohibit the extradition of their nationals. Article 102 attempts to address potential difficulties in this area by specifying that transfer of a person by a State to the Court is not ‘extradition’ but rather ‘surrender’. The drafters of the Rome Statute chose to use the term ‘surrender’ to govern the procedure of transfer of a suspect from a State to the Court so as to emphasize the sui generis nature of the process.

This chapter comments on Article 97 of the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court. Article 97 identifies the types of difficulties that may arise with requests for cooperation that require consultation with the Court. The first is insufficient information to execute the request. The second is difficulty in locating the person, a matter relevant to a request for surrender. But a request to locate a person might also concern questioning of an individual or a suspect, and even service of a summons to appear. Finally, article 97 contemplates the possibility that execution of the request might require the requested State to breach a pre-existing treaty obligation. Use of the term ‘pre-existing’ in article 97(c) has nourished arguments to the effect that only treaty obligations adopted prior to entry into force of the Rome Statute may be invoked to resist requests for cooperation.

This chapter comments on Article 87 of the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court. Article 87 affirms the authority of the Court to make requests to States Parties for cooperation, and proposes a mechanism for non-compliance. It deals with the modalities of such requests and contemplates their application to non-party States as well as States Parties to the Rome Statute. Cooperation can be divided into two broad categories: surrender of suspects and ‘other forms of cooperation’ involving such measures as taking of evidence, questioning, and examination of places or sites. Article 87 establishes general rules applicable to requests for both categories of cooperation.
