Article 33
Transit and transport
(1) At the request of the International Criminal Court, persons may be transported through Liechtenstein and held in custody to secure such transit.
(2) There is no need to apply for authorisation where the person is conveyed by air and no landing is scheduled on Liechtenstein territory.
(3) In the event of an unscheduled landing, the person in transit shall be arrested and the International Criminal Court shall be requested to transmit a request for transit together with the documents referred to in article 89(3)(b) of the Rome Statute.
(4) The person in transit shall be released if the request for transit has not been received within 96 hours. Such release shall not preclude a renewed arrest on the basis of a request pursuant to Article 25(1) or 27(1) above.
(5) The decision on transit shall be taken by the Ministry of Justice. Such transit shall be approved unless it would impede or delay surrender. A domestic conviction for a criminal offence not within the jurisdiction of the International Criminal Court shall not prevent transit. The authorisation of transit is not open to appeal.
(6) Paragraphs 1, 2, 3 and 5 shall apply at the request of the International Criminal Court or of a State that has agreed to enforce a sentence passed by the Court for the transit of persons through the territory of the Principality of Liechtenstein on the understanding that the International Criminal Court will be requested to transmit a request for transit together with a copy of the enforceable judgement in the event of an unscheduled landing.
