C16Evidence about ICC proceedings and orders

1

For the purposes of this Act a certificate purporting to be issued by or on behalf of the ICC stating—

a

that an investigation has been initiated by the Court, or that proceedings before the Court have been instituted and have not been concluded,

b

that an order of the Court is in force and is not subject to appeal,

c

that property recoverable under a forfeiture order made by the Court remains unrecovered, or

d

that any person has been notified of any proceedings in accordance with the ICC Statute,

is admissible in proceedings under this Act as evidence of the facts stated.

2

In proceedings under Part 2, 3 or 4 of this Act a statement contained in a document, duly authenticated, which purports to have been received in evidence or to be a copy of a document so received, or to set out or summarise evidence given, in proceedings before the ICC is admissible as evidence of any fact stated in it.

For this purpose a document is duly authenticated if it purports to be certified by any person in his capacity as a judge or officer of the ICC, to have been received in evidence or to be a copy of a document so received, or, as the case may be, to be the original document setting out or summarising the evidence or a true copy of that document.
