Article 90
Competing requests
1.
A State Party which receives a request from the Court for the surrender of a person
under article 89 shall, if it also receives a request from any other State for the
extradition of the same person for the same conduct which forms the basis of the
crime for which the Court seeks the person's surrender, notify the Court and the
requesting State of that fact.
2.
Where the requesting State is a State Party, the requested State shall give priority to
the request from the Court if:
(a)
The Court has, pursuant to article 18 or 19, made a determination that
the case in respect of which surrender is sought is admissible and that
determination takes into account the investigation or prosecution conducted
by the requesting State in respect of its request for extradition; or
(b)
The Court makes the determination described in subparagraph (a) pursuant
to the requested State's notification under paragraph 1.
3.
Where a determination under paragraph 2 (a) has not been made, the requested State
may, at its discretion, pending the determination of the Court under paragraph 2 (b),
proceed to deal with the request for extradition from the requesting State but shall
not extradite the person until the Court has determined that the case is inadmissible.
The Court's determination shall be made on an expedited basis.
4.
If the requesting State is a State not Party to this Statute the requested State, if it is not
under an international obligation to extradite the person to the requesting State, shall
give priority to the request for surrender from the Court, if the Court has determined
that the case is admissible.
5.
Where a case under paragraph 4 has not been determined to be admissible by the
Court, the requested State may, at its discretion, proceed to deal with the request for
extradition from the requesting State.
6.
In cases where paragraph 4 applies except that the requested State is under an existing
international obligation to extradite the person to the requesting State not Party to
this Statute, the requested State shall determine whether to surrender the person to
the Court or extradite the person to the requesting State. In making its decision, the
requested State shall consider all the relevant factors, including but not limited to:
7.
(a)
The respective dates of the requests;
(b)
The interests of the requesting State including, where relevant, whether the
crime was committed in its territory and the nationality of the victims and of
the person sought; and
(c)
The possibility of subsequent surrender between the Court and the requesting
State.
Where a State Party which receives a request from the Court for the surrender of a
person also receives a request from any State for the extradition of the same person
for conduct other than that which constitutes the crime for which the Court seeks the
person's surrender:
