CHAPTER II
Supervision
Article 133
Supervision measures
3. In no case may the supervisory measures applied by Portugal, as regards either their nature or their duration, be more severe than those prescribed in the decision taken in the foreign State.
1. Con sujeción a las condiciones que haya establecido un Estado de conformidad con el párrafo 1 (b) del artículo 103, la pena privativa de libertad tendrá carácter obligatorio para los Estados Partes, los cuales no podrán modificarla en caso alguno.
2. La decisión relativa a cualquier solicitud de apelación o revisión incumbirá exclusivamente a la Corte. El Estado de ejecución no pondrá obstáculos para que el condenado presente una solicitud de esa índole.
1. El Estado de ejecución no pondrá en libertad al recluso antes de que haya cumplido la pena impuesta por la Corte.
2. Sólo la Corte podrá decidir la reducción de la pena y se pronunciará al respecto después de escuchar al recluso.
3. Cuando el recluso haya cumplido las dos terceras partes de la pena o 25 años de prisión en caso de cadena perpetua, la Corte examinará la pena para determinar si ésta puede reducirse. El examen no se llevará a cabo antes de cumplidos esos plazos.
4. Al proceder al examen con arreglo al párrafo 3, la Corte podrá reducir la pena si considera que concurren uno o más de los siguientes factores:
(a) Si el recluso ha manifestado desde el principio y de manera continua su voluntad de cooperar con la Corte en sus investigaciones y enjuiciamientos;
(b) Si el recluso ha facilitado de manera espontánea la ejecución de las decisiones y órdenes de la Corte en otros casos, en particular ayudando a ésta en la localización de los bienes sobre los que recaigan las multas, las órdenes de decomiso o de reparación que puedan usarse en beneficio de las víctimas; o
(c) Otros factores indicados en las Reglas de Procedimiento y Prueba que permitan determinar un cambio en las circunstancias suficientemente claro e importante como para justificar la reducción de la pena.
5. La Corte, si en su examen inicial con arreglo al párrafo 3, determina que no procede reducir la pena, volverá a examinar la cuestión con la periodicidad y con arreglo a los criterios indicados en las Reglas de Procedimiento y Prueba.
