Article 38
Conditional release and pardon

(1) Decisions regarding conditional release, pardon or a reduction of sentence in respect of a person sentenced by the International Criminal Court shall be taken by the International Criminal Court; decisions regarding conditional release, pardon or a modification of sentence in respect of a person sentenced by an International Tribunal shall be taken by the President of the International Tribunal.

(2) Should the convicted person make an application for conditional release, pardon or a reduction of sentence, it shall be submitted to the Ministry of Justice for onward transmission to the International Criminal Court. The same shall apply mutatis mutandis for the onward transmission of applications for conditional release, pardon or a modification of sentence to the International Tribunal on the understanding that the Ministry of Justice shall accompany them with an indication of the time requirements under paragraph 46 of the Criminal Code.

(3) The International Criminal Court or International Tribunal should be informed ex officio of any circumstances which are favourable for conditional release, pardon or a reduction or modification of sentence.

Article 84
Revision of conviction or sentence
1. The convicted person or, after death, spouses, children, parents or one person alive at the time of the accused's death who has been given express written instructions from the accused to bring such a claim, or the Prosecutor on the person's behalf, may apply to the Appeals Chamber to revise the final judgement of conviction or sentence on the grounds that:
(a) New evidence has been discovered that:
(i) Was not available at the time of trial, and such unavailability was not wholly or partially attributable to the party making application; and
(ii) Is sufficiently important that had it been proved at trial it would have been likely to have resulted in a different verdict;
(b) It has been newly discovered that decisive evidence, taken into account at trial and upon which the conviction depends, was false, forged or falsified;
(c) One or more of the judges who participated in conviction or confirmation of the charges has committed, in that case, an act of serious misconduct or serious breach of duty of sufficient gravity to justify the removal of that judge or those judges from office under article 46.
2. The Appeals Chamber shall reject the application if it considers it to be unfounded. If it determines that the application is meritorious, it may, as appropriate:
(a) Reconvene the original Trial Chamber;
(b) Constitute a new Trial Chamber; or
(c) Retain jurisdiction over the matter,
with a view to, after hearing the parties in the manner set forth in the Rules of Procedure and Evidence, arriving at a determination on whether the judgement should be revised.
