Where the investigating chamber finds that there is no obvious error, it orders that the wanted person be handed over and, if the latter is free, his imprisonment for this purpose. All other questions submitted to the investigating chamber are sent to the International Criminal Court, which takes the appropriate action.
The investigating chamber rules within fifteen days of the wanted person’s appearance before it. Where an appeal is lodged, the criminal chamber of the Court of Cassation rules within two months of the Court of Cassation’s receipt of the case file.
