Commonwealth Consolidated Acts

INTERNATIONAL CRIMINAL COURT ACT 2002 - SECT 30

(1)

This section applies if, apart from this subsection, the Attorney-General would be required to issue a surrender warrant for a crime within the jurisdiction of the ICC in respect of a person who is liable to be detained in a prison because of a sentence of imprisonment imposed for a different offence against Australian law.

(2)

The Attorney-General may, after consultation with the ICC, do either of the following:

(a)

instead of issuing a surrender warrant that has an immediate effect, issue a surrender warrant that is to come into effect when the person ceases to be liable to be detained;

(b)

issue a surrender warrant that has a temporary operation in accordance with conditions agreed with the ICC.
