The Proceeding Before the Investigative Judge

Article 24

The competent Investigative Judge to whom the arrested accused person has been brought (Article 23, paragraph 2) shall inform the accused person about his/her rights, interrogating him/her thereupon, in accordance with the provisions of the Criminal Procedure Code, about the circumstances contained in the request made by the International Criminal Court.

If the Investigative Judge establishes that the accused is the person referred to in the request of the International Criminal Court, the former shall pass a ruling on custody for the person concerned.

Within a period of 24 hours from the moment of receipt of such ruling the accused person and his/her Defence Counsel may appeal against the ruling referred to in paragraph 2 of this Article, which shall be addressed by the competent Chamber.

Custody ordered by the Investigative Judge's ruling may not exceed one month, whereas the competent Chamber may by decision, at the motion of the Public Prosecutor containing a rationale, extend this period for a maximum of another two months.

During the interrogation the Investigative Judge shall specifically establish whether or not the accused person consents to voluntarily appear before the International Criminal Court. Should the accused person confirm it in a special document, at the same time renouncing all legal remedies in the surrender procedure, the Investigative Judge shall pass a ruling on custody only if some of the reasons specified in the Criminal Procedure Code exist. The accused person shall otherwise be released with the setting of a bond, forbidden to leave the place of residence, and/or imposed other measures to ensure the presence of the accused person and an unimpeded conduct of the criminal proceeding, specified in the Criminal Procedure Code.

The Investigative Judge shall promptly inform the Ministry about the consent of the accused person which will, in turn, undertake required measures for the accused person to appear before the International Criminal Court without delay.
