Pursuant to Article 93 of the Statute, all state authorities shall co-operate through the Ministry to a full extent and in good faith with the International Criminal Court for the purposes of providing legal assistance to said Court, in order to prosecute persons charged with the criminal offences referred to in Article 1 of this Law.

In providing the International Criminal Court with legal assistance, the competent state authority shall also undertake actions which have not been specifically sought by the International Criminal Court to be implemented if the actions to be taken are directly linked with the objective of providing legal assistance or where it is necessary for the purposes of identifying the perpetrator of the criminal offence and the collecting of evidence required for the proceedings before the International Criminal Court, and should the collecting of evidence be prevented or significantly impeded.
