Act 11 International Criminal Court Act 2010 42. Request for transit of a person to ICC. (1) Subject to subsection (4), where the Minister receives a request from the ICC for transit through Ugandan territory of a person— (a) being surrendered to the ICC; (b) being surrendered or transferred by another state to ICC; (c) being transferred from the ICC to a State of enforcement; (d) being transferred to or from the State of enforcement as a result of a review hearing or other appearance by the person before the ICC, the Minister shall accede to the request for transit and the person shall be deemed to be in lawful custody, may be held in any police station, prison or any other place of detention which may be designated by the Minister in consultation with the Minister responsible for internal affairs. (2) If a person referred to in subsection (1) arrives in Uganda without prior consent to transit, a police officer may at the request of the officer who has custody of the person while the person is being transported, hold the person in custody for a maximum period of 96 hours pending receipt by the Minister of a request under subsection (1). (3) No authorisation for transit is required if the person being transported is transported by air and no landing is scheduled on Uganda territory. (4) Notwithstanding subsection (1), the Minister may refuse a request for transit if the Minister considers that transit through Uganda would impede or delay the surrender or transfer of the person being transported. (5) If an unscheduled landing occurs on Uganda territory, the Minister may require the ICC to submit a request for transit of the transferee under subsection (1) as soon as is reasonably practicable. 34
