Contents of request for arrest and surrender
1. A request for arrest and surrender shall be made in writing. In urgent cases, a request may
be made by any medium capable of delivering a written record, provided that the request shall be
confirmed through the channel provided for in article 87, paragraph 1 (a).
2. In the case of a request for the arrest and surrender of a person for whom a warrant of
arrest has been issued by the Pre-Trial Chamber under article 58, the request shall contain or be
supported by:
(a) Information describing the person sought, sufficient to identify the person, and
information as to that person’s probable location;
(b) A copy of the warrant of arrest; and
(c) Such documents, statements or information as may be necessary to meet the
requirements for the surrender process in the requested State, except that those requirements
should not be more burdensome than those applicable to requests for extradition pursuant to
treaties or arrangements between the requested State and other States and should, if possible, be
less burdensome, taking into account the distinct nature of the Court.
3. In the case of a request for the arrest and surrender of a person already convicted, the
request shall contain or be supported by:

(b) A copy of the judgement of conviction;

the case of a sentence for imprisonment, a statement of any time already served and the time
remaining to be served.
4. Upon the request of the Court, a State Party shall consult with the Court, either generally
or with respect to a specific matter, regarding any requirements under its national law that may
apply under paragraph 2 (c). During the consultations, the State Party shall advise the Court of the
specific requirements of its national law.
