Protected prisoners of war in custody
12. (1) The court before which a protected prisoner of war is brought for trial for any offence—
(a) may remand that protected prisoner into the custody of the South African 20 National Defence Force ;
(b) must remand that protected prisoner into the custody of the South African National Defence Force if that protected prisoner is in custody for a period of longer than three months ; or
(c) must order the protected prisoner to remain in custody of the South African 25 National Defence Force if the prisoner is acquitted in order to ensure that such prisoner does not forfeit his or her rights in terms of the Third Convention, the Fourth Convention or Protocol I.
(2) A protected prisoner of war who is in the custody of the South African National Defence Force must be granted the protection of the Third Convention or the Fourth 30 Convention, as the case may be.
3. Une personne provisoirement arrêtée peut être remise en liberté si l'État requis n'a pas reçu la demande de remise et les pièces justificatives visées à l'article 91 dans le délai prescrit par le Règlement de procédure et de preuve. Toutefois, cette personne peut consentir à être remise avant l'expiration de ce délai si la législation de l'État requis le permet. Dans ce cas, l'État requis procède aussitôt que possible à sa remise à la Cour.
