4. Si la persona buscada está siendo enjuiciada o cumple condena en el Estado requerido por un crimen distinto de aquel por el cual se pide su entrega a la Corte, el Estado requerido, después de haber decidido conceder la entrega, celebrará consultas con la Corte.
1. El Estado Parte que haya recibido una solicitud de la Corte relativa a la entrega de una persona de conformidad con el artículo 89, y reciba además una solicitud de cualquier otro Estado relativa a la extradición de la misma persona por la misma conducta que constituya la base del crimen en razón del cual la Corte ha pedido la entrega, notificará a la Corte y al Estado requirente ese hecho.
2. Si el Estado requirente es un Estado Parte, el Estado requerido dará prioridad a la solicitud de la Corte cuando ésta:
(a) Haya determinado, de conformidad con lo dispuesto en los artículos 18 ó 19, que la causa respecto de la cual se solicita la entrega es admisible y en su decisión haya tenido en cuenta la investigación o el enjuiciamiento que lleva a cabo el Estado requirente con respecto a la solicitud de extradición que éste ha presentado; o
(b) Adopte la decisión a que se refiere el apartado (a) como consecuencia de la notificación efectuada por el Estado requerido de conformidad con el párrafo 1.

La Corte adoptará su decisión en procedimiento sumario.
4. Si el Estado requirente no es parte en el presente Estatuto, el Estado requerido, en caso de que no esté obligado por alguna norma internacional a conceder la extradición al Estado requirente, dará prioridad a la solicitud de entrega que le haya hecho la Corte si ésta ha determinado que la causa era admisible.
5. Cuando la Corte no haya determinado la admisibilidad de una causa de conformidad con el párrafo 4, el Estado requerido tendrá la facultad discrecional de dar curso a la solicitud de extradición que le haya hecho el Estado requirente.
6. En los casos en que sea aplicable el párrafo 4, y salvo que el Estado requerido esté obligado por alguna norma internacional a extraditar la persona al Estado requirente que no sea parte en el presente Estatuto, el Estado requerido decidirá si hace la entrega a la Corte o concede la extradición al Estado requirente. Para tomar esta decisión, el Estado requerido tendrá en cuenta todos los factores pertinentes, entre otros:
(a) Las fechas respectivas de las solicitudes;
(b) Los intereses del Estado requirente y, cuando proceda, si el crimen se cometió en su territorio y cuál es la nacionalidad de las víctimas y de la persona cuya entrega o extradición se ha solicitado; y
(c) La posibilidad de que la Corte y el Estado requirente lleguen posteriormente a un acuerdo respecto de la entrega.
7. Cuando el Estado Parte que reciba una solicitud de la Corte de entrega de una persona reciba también una solicitud de otro Estado relativa a la extradición de la misma persona por una conducta distinta de la que constituye el crimen en razón del cual la Corte solicita la entrega:
(a) El Estado requerido, si no está obligado por ninguna norma internacional a conceder la extradición al Estado requirente, dará preferencia a la solicitud de la Corte;
(b) El Estado requerido, si está obligado por una norma internacional a conceder la extradición al Estado requirente, decidirá si entrega la persona a la Corte o la extradita al Estado requirente. En esta decisión, el Estado requerido tendrá en cuenta todos los factores pertinentes y, entre otros, los enumerados en el párrafo 6, pero tendrá especialmente en cuenta la naturaleza y la gravedad relativas de la conducta de que se trate.
Cuando, como consecuencia de una notificación efectuada con arreglo al presente artículo, la Corte haya determinado la inadmisibilidad de una causa y posteriormente se deniegue la extradición al Estado requirente, el Estado requerido notificará su decisión a la Corte.
1. La solicitud de detención y entrega deberá formularse por escrito. En caso de urgencia, se podrá hacer por cualquier otro medio que permita dejar constancia escrita, a condición de que la solicitud sea confirmada en la forma indicada en el párrafo 1 (a) del artículo 87.

(b) Una copia de la orden de detención; y
(c) Los documentos, las declaraciones o la información que sean necesarios para cumplir los requisitos de procedimiento del Estado requerido relativos a la entrega; sin embargo, esos requisitos no podrán ser más onerosos que los aplicables a las solicitudes de extradición conforme a tratados o acuerdos celebrados por el Estado requerido y otros Estados y, de ser posible, serán menos onerosos, habida cuenta del carácter específico de la Corte.
3. La solicitud de detención y entrega del condenado deberá contener los siguientes elementos o ir acompañada de:
(a) Copia de la orden de detención dictada en su contra;
(b) Copia de la sentencia condenatoria;
(c) Datos que demuestren que la persona buscada es aquella a la que se refiere la sentencia condenatoria; y
(d) Si la persona que se busca ha sido condenado a una pena, copia de la sentencia y, en el caso de una pena de reclusión, una indicación de la parte de la pena que se ha cumplido y de la que queda por cumplir.
4. A solicitud de la Corte, un Estado Parte consultará con ésta, en general o con respecto a un asunto concreto, sobre las disposiciones de su derecho interno que puedan ser aplicables de conformidad con el apartado (c) del párrafo 2 del presente artículo. En esas consultas, el Estado Parte comunicará a la Corte los requisitos específicos de su derecho interno.
1. En caso de urgencia, la Corte podrá solicitar la detención provisional de la persona buscada hasta que se presente la solicitud de entrega y los documentos que la justifiquen de conformidad con el artículo 91.
2. La solicitud de detención provisional deberá hacerse por cualquier medio que permita dejar constancia escrita y contendrá:
(a) Información suficiente para identificar a la persona buscada y datos sobre su probable paradero;
(b) Una exposición concisa de los crímenes por los que se pida la detención y de los hechos que presuntamente serían constitutivos de esos crímenes, inclusive, de ser posible, la indicación de la fecha y el lugar en que se cometieron;
(c) Una declaración de que existe una orden de detención o una decisión final condenatoria respecto de la persona buscada; y
(d) Una declaración de que se presentará una solicitud de entrega de la persona buscada.
3. La persona sometida a detención provisional podrá ser puesta en libertad si el Estado requerido no hubiere recibido la solicitud de entrega y los documentos que la justifiquen, de conformidad con el artículo 91, dentro del plazo fijado en las Reglas de Procedimiento y Prueba. Sin embargo, el detenido podrá consentir en la entrega antes de que se cumpla dicho plazo siempre que lo permita el derecho interno del Estado requerido. En ese caso, el Estado requerido procederá a entregar al detenido a la Corte tan pronto como sea posible.
4. El hecho de que la persona buscada haya sido puesta en libertad de conformidad con el párrafo 3 no obstará para que sea nuevamente detenida y entregada una vez que el Estado requerido reciba la solicitud de entrega y los documentos que la justifiquen.
