36 Provisional arrest warrant may be issued
(1) A District Court Judge may issue a provisional warrant in the prescribed form for the arrest of a person if the Judge is satisfied on the basis of the information presented to him or her that—
(a) a warrant for the arrest of a person has been issued by the ICC or, in the case of a convicted person, a judgment of conviction has been given in relation to an international crime; and
(b) the person named in the warrant or judgment is or is suspected of being in New Zealand or may come to New Zealand; and
(c) it is necessary or desirable for an arrest warrant to be issued urgently.
(2) A warrant may be issued under this section even though no request for surrender has yet been made or received from the ICC.
38 Procedure where provisional arrest warrant issued
(1) If a person has been arrested on a provisional arrest warrant issued under sec‐ tion 36, the following provisions apply:
(a) the hearing of the proceedings must not proceed until the District Court receives from the Minister a notice in writing stating that a request for the surrender of the person has been transmitted to the Minister in the manner specified in section 25:
(b) pending the receipt of the notice from the Minister, the proceedings may from time to time be adjourned:
(c) the District Court must set a date by which the notice is to be transmitted to it, which must be a reasonable time having regard to—
(i) any provision in the Rules that prescribes the maximum period for transmission by the ICC of the request and supporting documents to the requested State:
(ii) if there is no such provision, the time it is likely to take for the ICC to prepare and transmit the request and supporting documents to New Zealand:
(iii) the time it is likely to take for the Minister to consider the request after receipt and for the notice to be transmitted to the District Court:
(d) if the District Court does not receive the notice within the time fixed by the District Court under paragraph (c), and does not extend that time under subsection (2), the District Court must discharge the person.
(2) The District Court may, from time to time, in its discretion, extend any time fixed by it under subsection (1)(c).
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.
