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.
Cuando la Corte proceda a examinar una impugnación de la admisibilidad de una causa de conformidad con los artículos 18 ó 19, el Estado requerido podrá aplazar la ejecución de una solicitud hecha de conformidad con esta Parte hasta que la Corte se pronuncie sobre la impugnación, a menos que ésta haya resuelto expresamente que el Fiscal podrá continuar recogiendo pruebas conforme a lo previsto en los artículos 18 ó 19.
