PART 5 - DOMESTIC PROCEDURES FOR OTHER TYPES OF CO-OPERATION

Restrictions on provision of assistance

117.
Postponement where ongoing investigation or prosecution—

(1)If the immediate execution of a request by the ICC for assistance to which this Part applies would interfere with an ongoing investigation or prosecution of a case different from that to which the request relates, the Attorney-General may postpone the execution of the request for a period of time agreed between the Attorney-General and the ICC.

(2)Despite section 115(3), the period of postponement may be no longer than is reasonably necessary to complete the investigation or prosecution.

(3)Before making a decision to postpone the execution of a request, the Attorney-General must consider whether the assistance could be provided immediately subject to certain conditions.

(4)If the Attorney-General decides to postpone the execution of a request and the ICC seeks assistance in the preservation of evidence under article 93(1)(j) of the Statute, the Attorney-General must deal with that request in accordance with this Part.
