Paragraph 7 Request for provisional arrest
This section applies where the Governor receives from the ICC a request for the provisional arrest of a person alleged to have committed an ICC crime or to have been convicted by the ICC.
If it appears to the Governor that application for a warrant should be made in the Territory–
he shall transmit the request to a constable and direct the constable to apply for a warrant for the arrest of that person, and
on an application by a constable stating on oath that he has reason to believe–
that a request has been made on grounds of urgency by the ICC for the arrest of a person, and
that the person is in, or on his way to, the Territory,
an appropriate judicial officer shall issue a warrant for the arrest of that person.
Omitted
Where an appropriate judicial officer issues a warrant under this section, he shall notify the Governor that he has done so.
In this Part a warrant issued under this section is referred to as a “provisional warrant”.
