Where there is an applicant, the official or Court issuing the warrant must first conduct an inquiry until sufficient grounds for issuing the warrant are established. Such grounds may be derived from information given under oath or from other circumstances.
In cases of urgent necessity, where there is a reasonable ground preventing the applicant from appearing before the Court, the applicant may submit an application to the Court by telephone, fax, electronic media or other appropriate information technology. Where the Court conducts an inquiry and finds reasonable grounds for issuing an arrest warrant or search warrant under Section 59/1, and orders that the warrant be issued, a copy of the warrant shall be sent to the applicant by fax, electronic media or other information technology, in accordance with the rules and procedures prescribed by the regulation of the President of the Supreme Court.
Where a warrant has been issued under paragraph three, the Court shall require the person applying for the warrant to appear before the Court and give evidence under oath without delay.

If it subsequently appears to the Court that the warrant was issued contrary to the law, the Court may order that the warrant be cancelled or amended. The Court may also order the applicant to correct or remedy any damage caused to the person concerned, as it considers appropriate.
Section 59/1.— Before issuing a warrant, there must be sufficient evidence to provide the Court with reasonable grounds to believe that a cause for issuing the warrant exists under Section 66, Section 69 or Section 71.

Section 83.— When making an arrest, an official or private person acting as the arresting person must inform the person to be arrested that they are under arrest. The arrested person shall then be ordered to accompany the arresting person to the office of the inquiry official for the locality in which the arrest was made.
Where the arrested person can be brought to the office of the inquiry official responsible at that time, the person shall be brought to that office. If necessary, the arrested person may be restrained.
Where an official makes the arrest, the official must inform the arrested person of the accusation. If there is an arrest warrant, it must be shown to the arrested person. The arrested person must also be informed that:
They have the right to make a statement or remain silent;
Any statement made may be used as evidence at trial; and
They have the right to meet and consult with a lawyer or a person who will act as their lawyer.
Where the arrested person wishes to notify a relative or another trusted person of the arrest, and doing so can be carried out conveniently without obstructing the arrest, interfering with the restraint of the arrested person or endangering anyone, the official shall permit the arrested person to do so as appropriate. The arresting official shall record the arrest.
If the person to be arrested obstructs or attempts to obstruct the arrest, escapes or attempts to escape, the arresting person may use such measures or means of defence as are appropriate to the circumstances of the arrest.

The arrested person shall also be informed that any statement made may be used as evidence at trial.
After completing the procedures under paragraph one, the administrative official or police official shall inform the arrested person of the rights provided under Section 7/1. The arrested person shall be allowed to contact a relative or another trusted person to notify them of the arrest and the place where the arrested person is being held.

Where necessary, the official or private person making the arrest shall arrange for first aid to be provided to the arrested person before delivering them under this Section.
Any statement amounting to a confession made by the arrested person to the arresting official, administrative official or police official during the arrest or delivery stage shall be inadmissible.

Section 84/1.— An administrative official or police official to whom an arrested person has been delivered may temporarily release the arrested person or keep the person in custody.
Where the arrest was made under a Court warrant, the procedure under Section 64 shall be followed immediately.

Section 85.— The official who arrests a person, or to whom an arrested person is delivered, may search the arrested person and seize any articles that may be used as evidence.
The search must be conducted with due propriety. Where the arrested person is a woman, the search must be conducted by another woman.
Any article seized may be retained by the official until the case has been finally concluded. When the case ends, the article shall be returned to the alleged offender or another person entitled to claim it, unless the Court orders otherwise.
Section 85/1.— During an inquiry, where an article seized by an official is not property whose possession or use constitutes an offence and has not yet been submitted or produced as evidence in judicial proceedings, its owner or another person entitled to claim its return may apply to the inquiry official or Public Prosecutor, as applicable, to receive the article for safekeeping or use. The article may be released without security, with security, or with both security and a guarantee.
The return of an article must not interfere with its later use as evidence. The inquiry official or Public Prosecutor shall decide the application without delay and may require security or impose conditions on the applicant.
If the applicant fails to comply with the conditions or refuses to return the article after being ordered to do so, the inquiry official or Public Prosecutor may seize the article again and enforce the security agreement.
The filing of applications, applicable conditions and granting of permission shall be governed by ministerial regulations.
Where the inquiry official or Public Prosecutor refuses permission, the applicant may appeal to the Court of First Instance competent to try the case within thirty days from the date on which the refusal was communicated.
The Court shall complete its consideration within thirty days from the date on which it accepts the appeal. Where the Court grants permission, it may require security or impose any conditions it considers appropriate. The Court’s order shall be final.
Section 86.— The use of restraints on an arrested person beyond what is necessary to prevent escape is prohibited.
Section 87.— An arrested person shall not be kept in custody for longer than is necessary in the circumstances of the case.
In the case of a petty offence, the arrested person may be kept in custody only for the time necessary to obtain their plea and establish their identity and place of residence.
Where the arrested person is not temporarily released and further inquiry or proceedings are necessary, the arrested person shall be brought before the Court within forty-eight hours from the time they were taken to the office of the inquiry official under Section 83, except in cases of force majeure or unavoidable necessity.
The inquiry official or Public Prosecutor shall submit an application to the Court for a warrant authorising the detention of the alleged offender. The Court shall ask the alleged offender whether they have any objection and may require the inquiry official or Public Prosecutor to explain the necessity for detention or submit supporting evidence.
In a case involving an offence punishable by imprisonment for no more than six months, a fine not exceeding five hundred baht, or both, the Court may grant one period of detention not exceeding seven days.
In a case involving an offence punishable by a maximum term of imprisonment of ten years or more, whether or not a fine is also prescribed, the Court may grant successive periods of detention. Each period shall not exceed twelve days and the total period shall not exceed forty-eight days.
In a case involving an offence punishable by a maximum term of imprisonment of ten years or more, whether or not a fine is also prescribed, the Court may grant successive periods of detention. Each period shall not exceed twelve days and the total period shall not exceed eighty-four days.
Where detention totalling forty-eight days has already been granted and the Public Prosecutor or inquiry official applies for further detention on grounds of necessity, the Court may grant further detention only after the Public Prosecutor or inquiry official has demonstrated the necessity and produced evidence sufficient to satisfy the Court.
In an inquiry under paragraphs three and seven, the alleged offender is entitled to appoint a lawyer to make submissions and examine witnesses.
Section 87/1.— Where a Public Prosecutor or inquiry official makes an application and the accused does not object, the Court may permit the accused or evidence to be presented from a government office or another place considered appropriate by the Court through the transmission of pictures and sound by video conference.
The procedure shall comply with regulations issued by the Chief Justice, approved by the general meeting of the Supreme Court and published in the Government Gazette. The regulations shall specify the procedure for questioning the accused and examining witnesses.
An inquiry conducted under paragraph one shall be deemed to have been conducted in the courtroom.
Section 88.— In a case brought by a private prosecutor, once the Court has accepted the charge and required the accused to appear before it, or in a case brought by the Public Prosecutor, once the charge has been filed before the Court, the Court may order the detention or temporary release of the accused.
Section 89.— A detention warrant or imprisonment warrant shall be executed within the jurisdiction of the Court that issued the warrant, unless otherwise provided by this Code or another law.
Section 89/1.— Where necessary during an inquiry or court proceedings, and upon the request of an inquiry official, Public Prosecutor, penitentiary commander or authority responsible for executing a detention warrant, or where the Court considers it appropriate, the Court may order that the alleged offender or defendant be detained in a place other than a penitentiary.
The person shall be detained in the place requested or in another place selected by the Court, under the supervision of the requesting person or another authority designated by the Court. The Court may determine the appropriate period of detention.
Before issuing an order under paragraph one, the Court may conduct an inquiry or allow the injured person or the authority concerned with the detention warrant to submit an objection.
A place of detention under paragraph one must not be a police station or another place used by an inquiry official to detain alleged offenders. It must satisfy the requirements prescribed by ministerial regulations, including appropriate methods and measures for preventing escape or other harm.
Where the Court has issued an order under paragraph one and the alleged offender or defendant subsequently fails to comply with the applicable directions or measures, or where the circumstances change, the Court may amend its order or direct that the person be detained in accordance with the detention warrant.
Section 89/2.— Where necessary, upon the request of the Public Prosecutor, penitentiary commander or authority responsible for executing an imprisonment warrant, or where the Court considers it appropriate, the Court may order that a person sentenced to imprisonment by a final judgment serve the sentence by one of the methods specified below.
This Section applies where the person has served at least one-third of the term specified in the imprisonment warrant or, in the case of a sentence exceeding thirty years or imprisonment for life, has served at least ten years.
(1) The person may be imprisoned in a place other than a penitentiary or the place specified in the imprisonment warrant, as requested by the relevant authority or determined by the Court.
The nature of such a place, together with the methods of supervision and measures required to prevent escape or injury, shall be prescribed by ministerial regulations.
(2) The person may be imprisoned in a penitentiary, the place specified in the imprisonment warrant or another place under paragraph (1), only on particular days determined in accordance with the rules and procedures prescribed by ministerial regulations.
(3) The person may be imprisoned by another method that restricts their movement and the area within which they may travel, in accordance with the rules and procedures prescribed by ministerial regulations.
In considering whether to issue such an order, the Court shall consider the nature of the offence, the conduct and security of the person sentenced to imprisonment, and the security and safety of the injured person and society.
The Court may investigate or question the person sentenced, the authority responsible for executing the imprisonment warrant, the local administrative official, the local police or any other person whom the Court considers concerned with the matter.
When issuing an order under paragraph one, the Court shall designate the authority responsible for executing and supervising the order. Section 89/1, paragraph four, shall apply mutatis mutandis.
Section 90.— Where it is alleged that a person is being unlawfully detained in a criminal case or in any other matter, the following persons may submit a petition to the local Court competent to try the criminal case, requesting the person’s release:
(1) The detained person;
(2) The Public Prosecutor;
(3) The inquiry official;
(4) The governor of the prison or the gaoler;
(5) The detained person’s spouse or relative, or any other person acting for the detained person’s benefit.
Upon receiving such a petition, the Court shall conduct an inquiry without delay.
Where the Court considers that the petition is well-founded, it may order the gaoler to bring the detained person before the Court without delay.
If the gaoler is unable to satisfy the Court that the detention is lawful, the Court shall order the detained person’s immediate release.

La Corte adoptará su decisión en procedimiento sumario.
4. Si el Estado requirente no es parte en el presente Estatuto, el Estado requerido, en caso de que no esté obligado por alguna norma internacional a conceder la extradición al Estado requirente, dará prioridad a la solicitud de entrega que le haya hecho la Corte si ésta ha determinado que la causa era admisible.
5. Cuando la Corte no haya determinado la admisibilidad de una causa de conformidad con el párrafo 4, el Estado requerido tendrá la facultad discrecional de dar curso a la solicitud de extradición que le haya hecho el Estado requirente.
6. En los casos en que sea aplicable el párrafo 4, y salvo que el Estado requerido esté obligado por alguna norma internacional a extraditar la persona al Estado requirente que no sea parte en el presente Estatuto, el Estado requerido decidirá si hace la entrega a la Corte o concede la extradición al Estado requirente. Para tomar esta decisión, el Estado requerido tendrá en cuenta todos los factores pertinentes, entre otros:

(a) El Estado requerido, si no está obligado por ninguna norma internacional a conceder la extradición al Estado requirente, dará preferencia a la solicitud de la Corte;
(b) El Estado requerido, si está obligado por una norma internacional a conceder la extradición al Estado requirente, decidirá si entrega la persona a la Corte o la extradita al Estado requirente. En esta decisión, el Estado requerido tendrá en cuenta todos los factores pertinentes y, entre otros, los enumerados en el párrafo 6, pero tendrá especialmente en cuenta la naturaleza y la gravedad relativas de la conducta de que se trate.
Cuando, como consecuencia de una notificación efectuada con arreglo al presente artículo, la Corte haya determinado la inadmisibilidad de una causa y posteriormente se deniegue la extradición al Estado requirente, el Estado requerido notificará su decisión a la Corte.
1. La solicitud de detención y entrega deberá formularse por escrito. En caso de urgencia, se podrá hacer por cualquier otro medio que permita dejar constancia escrita, a condición de que la solicitud sea confirmada en la forma indicada en el párrafo 1 (a) del artículo 87.
2. La solicitud de detención y entrega de una persona respecto de la cual la Sala de Cuestiones Preliminares haya dictado una orden de detención de conformidad con el artículo 58 deberá contener los elementos siguientes o ir acompañada de:
(a) Información suficiente para la identificación de la persona buscada y datos sobre su probable paradero;
(b) Una copia de la orden de detención; y
(c) Los documentos, las declaraciones o la información que sean necesarios para cumplir los requisitos de procedimiento del Estado requerido relativos a la entrega; sin embargo, esos requisitos no podrán ser más onerosos que los aplicables a las solicitudes de extradición conforme a tratados o acuerdos celebrados por el Estado requerido y otros Estados y, de ser posible, serán menos onerosos, habida cuenta del carácter específico de la Corte.
3. La solicitud de detención y entrega del condenado deberá contener los siguientes elementos o ir acompañada de:
(a) Copia de la orden de detención dictada en su contra;
(b) Copia de la sentencia condenatoria;
(c) Datos que demuestren que la persona buscada es aquella a la que se refiere la sentencia condenatoria; y
(d) Si la persona que se busca ha sido condenado a una pena, copia de la sentencia y, en el caso de una pena de reclusión, una indicación de la parte de la pena que se ha cumplido y de la que queda por cumplir.
4. A solicitud de la Corte, un Estado Parte consultará con ésta, en general o con respecto a un asunto concreto, sobre las disposiciones de su derecho interno que puedan ser aplicables de conformidad con el apartado (c) del párrafo 2 del presente artículo. En esas consultas, el Estado Parte comunicará a la Corte los requisitos específicos de su derecho interno.
1. En caso de urgencia, la Corte podrá solicitar la detención provisional de la persona buscada hasta que se presente la solicitud de entrega y los documentos que la justifiquen de conformidad con el artículo 91.
2. La solicitud de detención provisional deberá hacerse por cualquier medio que permita dejar constancia escrita y contendrá:
(a) Información suficiente para identificar a la persona buscada y datos sobre su probable paradero;
(b) Una exposición concisa de los crímenes por los que se pida la detención y de los hechos que presuntamente serían constitutivos de esos crímenes, inclusive, de ser posible, la indicación de la fecha y el lugar en que se cometieron;
(c) Una declaración de que existe una orden de detención o una decisión final condenatoria respecto de la persona buscada; y
(d) Una declaración de que se presentará una solicitud de entrega de la persona buscada.
3. La persona sometida a detención provisional podrá ser puesta en libertad si el Estado requerido no hubiere recibido la solicitud de entrega y los documentos que la justifiquen, de conformidad con el artículo 91, dentro del plazo fijado en las Reglas de Procedimiento y Prueba. Sin embargo, el detenido podrá consentir en la entrega antes de que se cumpla dicho plazo siempre que lo permita el derecho interno del Estado requerido. En ese caso, el Estado requerido procederá a entregar al detenido a la Corte tan pronto como sea posible.
4. El hecho de que la persona buscada haya sido puesta en libertad de conformidad con el párrafo 3 no obstará para que sea nuevamente detenida y entregada una vez que el Estado requerido reciba la solicitud de entrega y los documentos que la justifiquen.
