56 Postponement of execution of request for surrender
(1) The Minister may postpone the execution of a request for surrender under this Part at any time before the person sought is surrendered if, and only if,—
(b) the request would interfere with an investigation or prosecution for a dif‐ ferent offence against New Zealand law, as provided in section 58; or
58 Ongoing New Zealand investigation or proceedings involving different conduct
(1) This section applies if the ICC makes a request for surrender that would inter‐ fere with an investigation or proceedings in New Zealand involving different conduct.
(2) If this section applies, the Minister may, after consultation with the ICC,—
(a) proceed with the execution of the request in accordance with section 56(2), despite the New Zealand investigation or proceedings; or
(b) postpone the execution of the request until the New Zealand investiga‐ tion or proceedings have been finally disposed of.
(3) Nothing in this section limits or affects section 48 which allows the Minister to make a surrender order that comes into force at a later date if a person is serv‐ ing a sentence for a different offence against New Zealand law.
117 Postponement where ongoing investigation or prosecution
(1) If the immediate execution of a request by the ICC for assistance to which this Part applies would interfere with an ongoing investigation or prosecution of a case different from that to which the request relates, the Attorney-General may postpone the execution of the request for a period of time agreed between the Attorney-General and the ICC.
(2) Despite section 115(3), the period of postponement may be no longer than is reasonably necessary to complete the investigation or prosecution.
(3) Before making a decision to postpone the execution of a request, the Attorney- General must consider whether the assistance could be provided immediately subject to certain conditions.
(4) If the Attorney-General decides to postpone the execution of a request and the ICC seeks assistance in the preservation of evidence under Article 93(1)(j) of the Statute, the Attorney-General must deal with that request in accordance with this Part.
1. Si la ejecución inmediata de una solicitud de asistencia interfiriere una investigación o enjuiciamiento en curso de un asunto distinto de aquel al que se refiera la solicitud, el Estado requerido podrá aplazar la ejecución por el tiempo que acuerde con la Corte. No obstante, el aplazamiento no excederá de lo necesario para concluir la investigación o el enjuiciamiento de que se trate en el Estado requerido. Antes de tomar la decisión de aplazar la ejecución de la solicitud, el Estado requerido debería considerar si se podrá prestar inmediatamente la asistencia con sujeción a ciertas condiciones.
2. Si, de conformidad con el párrafo 1, se decidiere aplazar la ejecución de una solicitud de asistencia, el Fiscal podrá en todo caso pedir que se adopten las medidas necesarias para preservar pruebas de conformidad con el párrafo 1 (j) del artículo 93.
