Consultations
Article 18
Having assessed that factual or legal obstacles exist which could prevent or impede the granting of the letter rogatory for providing legal assistance to the International Criminal Court, particularly where the reasons mentioned in Article 97 of the Statute are concerned, the state authority shall inform the Ministry about it without delay which will, in turn, conduct consultations with International Criminal Court Representatives on how to remove the obstacles.
In the manner specified in paragraph 1 of this Article the Ministry shall also proceed when it learns in some other manner about the existence of factual or legal obstacles to providing the International Criminal Court with legal assistance.
