                     (b)  is also the person specified in the arrest warrant that was issued by the Tribunal;

the magistrate must remand the person in custody or on bail for such period or periods as may be necessary to enable the Attorney‑General to make a surrender determination and (if appropriate) to enable a magistrate to remand the person under section 20.

             (3)  The magistrate must remand the person in custody unless there are special circumstances justifying remand on bail.
