Chapter 31 Procedure to Extradite Suspects or Accused and Convicted Persons
Article 427
Procedure in Case of a Larger Number of Requests for Extradition
If extradition of the same person has been requested by several foreign states due to the same criminal offense, precedence shall be given to the request of the state whose citizen that person is, and if that state does not request the extradition, then precedence shall be given to the request of the state on the territory of which the criminal offense has been committed, and if the offense has been committed on the territory of several states or if it is not known where the offense has been committed – precedence shall be given to the request of the state which was the first to request the extradition.
If the extradition of the same person has been requested by several foreign states due to different criminal offenses, precedence shall be given to the request of the state whose citizenship that person has, and if this state does not request extradition, then precedence shall be given to the request of the state on the territory of which the most severe criminal offense has been committed, and if the offenses are of the same gravity – precedence shall be given to the request of the state which was the first to request extradition.
3. Lorsque la Cour n'a pas pris la décision visée au paragraphe 2, alinéa a), l'État requis peut, s'il le souhaite, commencer à instruire la demande d'extradition de l'État requérant en attendant que la Cour se prononce comme prévu à l'alinéa b). Il n'extrade pas la personne tant que la Cour n'a pas jugé l'affaire irrecevable. La Cour se prononce selon une procédure accélérée.
4. Si l'État requérant est un État non Partie au présent Statut, l'État requis, s'il n'est pas tenu par une obligation internationale d'extrader l'intéressé vers l'État requérant, donne la priorité à la demande de remise de la Cour, si celle-ci a jugé que l'affaire était recevable.
