PART IV
ARREST AND SURRENDER OF PERSON TO ICC

Restrictions on Surrender

in respect of which surrender is sought is admissible and that the determination takes into account the investigation or prosecution conducted by the requesting State in respect of its request for extradition; or
(b) the ICC makes such a determination after receiving notification of the competing request.
