The Responsible Agency shall have the authority to consult with the International Court on matters related to the request as prescribed by the Statute. Consultation with the International Court shall be obligatory if the execution of the request:
a) contradicts fundamental legal principles of a state, as indicated in Article 93(3) of the Statute;
3. Where execution of a particular measure of assistance detailed in a request presented under paragraph 1, is prohibited in the requested State on the basis of an existing fundamental legal principle of general application, the requested State shall promptly consult with the Court to try to resolve the matter.

If after consultations the matter cannot be resolved, the Court shall modify the request as necessary.
