VIII. REFUSAL OF CO-OPERATION AND DEFERMENT OF FULFILLING A REQUEST FOR CO-OPERATION
Article 20
(1) The Republic of Slovenia may for the sake of protecting national security information and under conditions determined by the Statute, decline to co-operate with the Court.
(2) Prior to declining co-operation or assistance, the Ministry, in co-operation with other national bodies of the Republic of Slovenia, must first attempt to resolve the matter by means of co-operation or consultation with the Court.
(3) If the Ministry, in co-operation with other national bodies, despite the adoption and implementation of measures to resolve the matter through co-operation, believes that in no way or under no conditions can it provide or reveal data or documents, without this being detrimental to the national security interests of the Republic of Slovenia, it shall be obliged to inform the Prosecutor or the Court of this, unless a detailed description of the reasons would in itself necessarily be detrimental to national security interests.
4. Conformément à l'article 72, un État Partie ne peut rejeter, totalement ou partiellement, une demande d'assistance de la Cour que si cette demande a pour objet la production de documents ou la divulgation d'éléments de preuve qui touchent à sa sécurité nationale.
