Form 1.
Notice of consent to surrender (International Criminal Court Act 2001, section 7).
-
(a) Whereas on the day of 20 , I was arrested in pursuance of a warrant under section 2 of the International Criminal Court Act 2001 with a view to a delivery order being made providing for me to be delivered up into the custody of the International Criminal Court.
or
(b) Whereas on the day of 20 , I was convicted by the International Criminal Court and on the day of 20 , I was arrested in pursuance of a warrant under section 2 of the International Criminal Court Act 2001 with a view to a delivery order being made providing for me to be delivered up into the custody of [the International Criminal Court] [the state of enforcement (insert name of the state of enforcement)].
And whereas I understand that, unless I consent to my delivery, I shall have the right:
-
(a) to make representations at delivery proceedings as to the matters of which the competent court is to be satisfied before making a delivery order, and
(b) to make an application to the competent court at the time of the delivery proceedings for the determination of whether I was lawfully arrested in pursuance of the warrant and whether my rights have been respected, and
(c) if a delivery order is made, to seek a review of the delivery order, and
(d) to make an application for habeas corpus, and
(e) not to have the delivery order executed against me until after the end of the period of 15 days beginning with the date on which the order is made, or (if later), while any habeas corpus proceedings are still pending.
I therefore give notice of my consent to surrender to be delivered up into the custody of the International Criminal Court or into the custody of the state of enforcement (insert name of the state of enforcement), whichever is appropriate. I understand that by consenting to my surrender I waive my right to seek a review of the delivery order under section 12 of the International Criminal Court Act 2001 and I consent to the Secretary of State giving directions for the execution of the delivery order before the period of 15 days has expired.
