In addition, Rule 86(H) of the Rules of Procedure and Evidence of the Mechanism allows victims or witnesses for whom protective measures have been ordered in proceedings before the ICTR, the ICTY, or the Mechanism to seek to rescind, vary, or augment their protective measures by applying to the President. Parties to a proceeding in another jurisdiction authorised by an appropriate judicial authority may also seek variation of protective measures under Rule 86(H).

Note: Guidance for Filing Applications for Variation of Protective Measures: Article 5 of the Transitional Arrangements annexed to the Statute of the Mechanism for International Criminal Tribunals governs which institution has jurisdiction over protection of victims and witnesses while the Mechanism coexists with the ICTY and the ICTR. Applications for variation of protective measures should be made to the relevant institution in accordance with the Transitional Arrangements: For variation of protection measures relating to witnesses who have appeared in cases currently before the ICTY or ICTR, applications should be made to the President of the ICTY under Rule 75(H) of the ICTY Rules of Procedure and Evidence, or the relevant Chamber of the ICTR under Rule 75(G) of the ICTR Rules of Procedure and Evidence, respectively. (See Article 5(1) of the Transitional Arrangements.)

(See Article 5(2) of the Transitional Arrangements.) For variation of protection measures relating to witnesses who have appeared in ICTY or ICTR cases that are now closed, applications should be made to the President of the Mechanism under Rule 86(H) of the Mechanism Rules of Procedure and Evidence. (See Article 5(4) of the Transitional Arrangements.) For variation of protection measures relating to witnesses who have appeared in two or more cases over which the Mechanism and the ICTY or ICTR, respectively, have competence pursuant to the Transitional Arrangements, the application should be made to the President of the Mechanism under Rule 86(H) of the Mechanism Rules of Procedure and Evidence. (See Article 5(3) of the Transitional Arrangements.) Taking of statements or testimony from a detainee for investigations or proceedings in criminal, civil, or administrative matters pending in a State • Criminal cases relating to violations of international humanitarian law Pursuant to Rule 87, a Judge or Bench in another jurisdiction or parties in another jurisdiction authorised by an appropriate judicial authority (“Requesting Authority”) may request the assistance of the Mechanism in obtaining the testimony of a person under the authority of the Mechanism in ongoing proceedings in the jurisdiction of the Requesting Authority involving violations of international humanitarian law committed in the territory of the former Yugoslavia since 1991 or the territory of Rwanda in 1994, or committed by Rwandan citizens in the territory of Rwanda’s neighbours in 1994. Pursuant to this rule, the Mechanism can assist the Requesting Authority in making the arrangements for the testimony of a detainee from the Mechanism’s premises by video-conference link. If legal provisions in the jurisdiction of the Requesting Authority do not allow for the testimony to be received by way of video-conference link, the Mechanism may consider to render the assistance by way of granting the Requesting Authority access to the person to be heard on the premises of the Mechanism or the transfer of the person under Rule 88. Applications pursuant to Rule 87 shall be submitted to the President of the Mechanism and are required to include the following information: - the fact that the application is made pursuant to Rule 87 on the cover page of the application; - the name of the applicant and the competent authority conducting the investigation or court proceeding; - the name of the detainee from whom assistance is sought; - the relevance of the testimony sought to the investigation or court proceeding of the applicant; - the precise purpose for which the testimony is sought; - the legal provision under national law pursuant to which the testimony is sought; - the date or time frame within which the requested assistance is sought; - any other information necessary to the processing of the application. • Criminal cases generally In all other cases where a statement or testimony is required of a detainee, the requesting party may proceed with the submission of a request for legal assistance depending on the location of the person under the authority of the Mechanism: - In The Hague, a bilateral request should be made to The Netherlands. These requests for legal assistance can be pursuant to the applicable treaty on mutual legal assistance, or, in the absence of an applicable treaty, on the basis of letters rogatory to the applicable courts in The Hague. All such requests should be sent to the Netherlands Central Authority for International legal Assistance. Service of process upon a detainee of the Mechanism, in connection with the execution of a request for legal assistance to the Host State, would be effected under the domestic law of The Netherlands. - In Arusha, requests for assistance should be made to the Registrar of the Mechanism, and should include the applicable information requested in applications pursuant to Rule 87, points (ii) to (viii), as set out above. In both cases, unless otherwise agreed or determined by the President, the ordinary administrative costs incurred by the Mechanism, in facilitating a request for assistance by the Host State or the requesting state, shall be borne by the Mechanism, but expenses of a substantial or extraordinary nature incurred by the Mechanism shall be borne by the requesting party. • Administrative and civil cases A request for the taking of statements from a detainee in relation to an administrative or civil matter under investigation or pending before another jurisdiction may be carried out in one of several ways in accordance with the laws and regulations of the Host State. (i) Statements may be taken, without compulsion, by a diplomatic or consular representative, accredited to the Host State, of the State to which a detainee belongs, or which takes charge of his or her interests, provided the statement pertains to a matter under investigation or pending in such State. The diplomatic or consular representative administers the oath and remains present to guarantee the integrity of the proceedings. The written interrogatories are posed by the diplomatic or consular officer or by a representative of the party seeking the statement. Requests may be submitted by the diplomatic or consular representative to the Registrar of the Mechanism. In Tanzania a judge from the requesting state may also visit the person under the authority of the Mechanism to take a statement. (ii) Statements may be taken, without compulsion, by a notary registered in the Netherlands (notaris) or Tanzania who poses written interrogatories on behalf of the party seeking the statement. The taking of such statements may be carried out without the prior consent of, or notification to, the Host State authorities. The party seeking the statement must make arrangements for the presence of a court reporter and interpreter, if required. Requests may be submitted by the notary to the Registrar of the Mechanism. (iii) For persons under the authority of the Mechanism in The Hague, statements may be taken by a Judge of the District Court of The Hague who poses written interrogatories on behalf of the party seeking the statement. The party seeking the statement in this fashion may submit the request to the District Court of The Hague in accordance with the applicable treaty on mutual legal assistance between the State where the requesting authority is located and the Host State, or in the absence of such treaty, by means of letters rogatory from the requesting court to the District Court of The Hague. All such requests should be sent to the Netherlands Central Authority for International Legal Assistance. Taking of statements or testimony from an accused person on provisional release A request for assistance in an administrative, civil or criminal matter under investigation or pending before a court in another jurisdiction involving the participation of a person on provisional release, in accordance with an order of a Chamber of the Mechanism under Rule 68 of the Rules of Procedure and Evidence, should be addressed to the competent authority of the jurisdiction where the person is provisionally released to, in accordance with the laws and regulations of such jurisdiction. In determining whether to grant the request for assistance, such jurisdiction must consider the terms and conditions of the order granting provisional release and consult with the Mechanism where granting the request may violate the order granting provisional release. Taking of statements or testimony from a convicted person serving a sentence in an Enforcement State The terms and conditions of imprisonment of persons subject to a conviction by the ICTY, the ICTR or the Mechanism, and serving a sentence in relation thereto is determined by the laws of the State in which the sentence is being enforced (the “Enforcement State”). Consequently, a request for assistance involving the participation of a convicted person serving a sentence in an Enforcement State is to be addressed to the Enforcement State. The Enforcement State will decide whether to grant the request for assistance in accordance with the laws and regulations of the Enforcement State and the provisions of the agreement on enforcement between the United Nations and the Enforcement State or sovereign jurisdiction within the Enforcement State. Service of documents upon detainees for administrative or legal proceedings not pending before the Mechanism and registered mail for detainees Service of documents upon a detainee under the custody of the Mechanism in Arusha, and in relation to administrative or legal proceedings not pending before the Mechanism, can be effected by the Registrar. Service of documents upon a detainee under the custody of the Mechanism in The Hague, and in relation to administrative or legal proceedings not pending before the Mechanism, are legal acts to be executed under the laws of The Netherlands. Dutch laws permit the service of documents by a variety of means: - by diplomatic or consular representative, without compulsion, in administrative, civil and criminal matters brought outside The Netherlands; - by registered mail addressed to the detainee in administrative, civil and criminal cases brought outside The Netherlands; - through formal request to the Netherlands Central Authority pursuant to a treaty on mutual legal assistance between The Netherlands and the State where the requesting party is located in; and - by court bailiff in administrative and civil cases brought outside The Netherlands and in administrative, civil and criminal cases brought in The Netherlands.

Pravosudne i državne vlasti iz Ruande, država nastalih na području bivše Jugoslavije ili drugih država mogu zatražiti pomoć Tužilaštva ili Sekretarijata Mehanizma. Ti zahtjevi se u načelu moraju odnositi na predmete koji se neposredno tiču vođenja postupaka pred MKSR-om, MKSJ-om ili Mehanizmom, ili pak predstojećih istraga ili pravosudnih postupaka u drugim državama. Napomena: Zahtjevi za pomoć se obično odnose dolje navedene kategorije, i mogu se podnositi u ime pravosudnih ili državnih vlasti u skladu s članom 28 Statuta Mehanizma. Osim toga, pravilo 86(H) Pravilnika o postupku i dokazima Mehanizma omogućava žrtvama ili svjedocima kojima su bile odobrene zaštitne mjere u postupcima pred MKSR, MKSJ ili Mehanizmom da zatraže da se te mjere izmijene, pojačaju ili ukinu tako što će se obratiti predsjedniku. Strane u postupku u nekoj drugoj jurisdikciji, koje ovlasti nadležni pravosudni organ, takođe mogu zatražiti izmjene zaštitnih mjera u skladu s pravilom 86(H). Drugi zahtjevi od strane pojedinaca neće se smatrati zahtjevima za pomoć. Primjerci javnih sudskih dokumenata dostupni su na websiteovima i u bazama podataka MKSR, MKSJ i Mehanizma. Zahtjevi za pomoć koji se upućuju Tužilaštvu Pravosudne i državne vlasti koje provode istrage i krivično gonjenje u vezi s ratnim zločinima, zločinima protiv čovječnosti i genocidom mogu stupiti u kontakt sa Tužilaštvom Mehanizma podnijeti mu sve zahtjeve za pomoć u vezi s informacijama koje je prikupilo Tužilaštvo MSKJ-a, MKSR-a ili Mehanizma. Zahtjevi se mogu podnositi Tužilaštvu u Haagu ili u Arushi. Zahtjevi za pomoć koje nacionalne vlasti ili međunarodne organizacije upućuju tužiocu Zahtjevi na osnovu pravila 86(H) i pravila 87 Pravilnika o postupku i dokazima Zahtjevi koji se podnose na osnovu pravila 86(H) i pravila 87 Pravilnika o postupku i dokazima moraju se nasloviti na predsjednika i zavode u skladu s Uputstvom o podnescima koji se podnose pred Mehanizmom za međunarodne krivične sudove. Uz zahtjeve koji se podnose predsjedniku na osnovu pravila 86 i pravila 87 Pravilnika o postupku i dokazima treba priložiti obrazac za otpremu (na engleskom) popunjen u skladu s naznačenim uputstvom (na engleskom). Zahtjevi za pomoć koji se upućuju Sekretarijatu Svi drugi zahtjevi mogu se uputiti direktno Sekretarijatu u Arushi ili u Haagu. U načelu, zahtjevima za pomoć najčešće se traži sljedeće: Ovjerene kopije javnih sudskih dokumenata MKSJ-a, MKSR-a ili Mehanizma (Ovi dokumenti obično obuhvataju transkripte, audio i video zapise, dokazne predmete, podneske, naloge, presude, itd.) Zahtjevi se moraju podnijeti Sekretarijatu i oni moraju sadržati sljedeće informacije: - ime podnosioca zahtjeva i nadležnog organa koji provodi istragu ili sudski postupak; - nadležnost Mehanizma da ispuni taj zahtjev; - konkretne detalje u vezi s dotičnim zahtjevom (takvi detalji treba da uključuju naziv/broj predmeta, datum svjedočenja svjedoka, ime/pseudonim svjedoka, broj dokaznog predmeta, stranu u postupku koja je podnela taj dokazni predmet, datum njegovog uvrštavanja u spis, opis dokaznog predmeta); - tačnu svrhu za koju se pomoć traži; - precizan eventualni rok do kojeg zahtjev treba da se ispuni; - sve druge informacije potrebne za obradu zahtjeva; i - naznaku da je dopis upućen u svojstvu zahtjeva. Ukoliko neki sudija ili vijeće Mehanizma ne naloži drugačije, zahtjev koji ne ispunjava gore navedene uslove može biti vraćen strani koja ga je podnijela i od te strane zatražiti bilo koja dodatna informacija koje Mehanizam smatra potrebnim. Ukoliko neki sudija ili vijeće Mehanizma ne naloži drugačije, Sekretarijat će na koji način strana koja podnosi zahtjev za pomoć treba da vrši ovjeravanje ili potvrđivanje vjerodostojnosti. Ukoliko se drugačije ne dogovori sa Sekretarijatom ili ukoliko neki sudija ili vijeće Mehanizma ne odredi drugačije, redovne administrativne troškove zahtjeva za pomoć koji treba da ispuni Mehanizam snosi Mehanizam, dok značajnije i vanredne troškove snosi strana koja je podnijela zahtjev. Ukoliko se drugačije ne dogovori sa Sekretarijatom ili ukoliko neki sudija ili vijeće Mehanizma ne odredi drugačije, Sekretarijat će utvrditi rokove za ispunjenje zahtjeva. Strana koja podnosi zahtjev može zatražiti hitno izvršenje zahtjeva, a u tom slučaju mora se navesti razlog za hitno izvršenje. Izmjena zaštitnih mjera U skladu s pravilom 86 (H), sudija ili vijeće u nekoj drugoj jurisdikciji, strane u nekoj drugoj jurisdikciji koje za to ovlasti nadležni pravosudni organ, ili žrtva ili svjedok za koje su MKSJ, MKSR ili Mehanizam naložili zaštitne mjere mogu zatražiti da se zaštitne mjere određene u postupku pred MKSJ-om, MKSR-om ili Mehanizmom ukinu, izmijene ili pojačaju tako što će se zahtjevom obratiti predsjedniku Mehanizma. Zahtjevi mogu uključivati zahtjeve za pristup povjerljivim sudskim dokumentima, na primjer, dokaznim predmetima ili podnescima, ili zahtjeve za pristup svjedočenju svjedoka ili za informacije o zaštićenim svjedocima. Zahtjevi u skladu s pravilom 86 (H) Pravilnika o postupku i dokazima podnose se u skladu s Uputstvom o postupku za izmjenu zaštitnih mjera na osnovu pravila 86 (H) Pravilnika o postupku i dokazima Mehanizma za pristup povjerljivom materijalu MKSJ-a, MKSR-a ili Mehanizma. Zahtjevi moraju da sadrže slijedeće informacije: - činjenicu da se zahtjev podnosi na osnovu pravila 86(H) navedenu na naslovnoj strani zahtjeva; - ime podnosioca zahtjeva i, po potrebi, nadležnog organa koji provodi istragu ili vodi sudski postupak; - naziv postupka vođenog pred MKSJ-om, MKSR-om ili Mehanizmom iz kojeg se materijal traži kao i broj predmeta kad god je to moguće; - konkretne detalje u vezi sa materijalom koji se traži, na primjer, datum svjedočenja svjedoka, ime ili pseudonim koji je korišten za identifikaciju svjedoka i broj dokaznog predmeta; - relevantnost traženog materijala za istragu ili sudski postupak kočiji je učesnik podnosilac zahtjeva; - tačnu svrhu u koju se materijal traži; - Precizno naveden svaki eventualni rok uli hitnost; - jasnu naznaku da li je zahtjev podnesen na javnoj ili povljerljivoj osnovi; i - sve druge informacije potrebne za obradu zahtjeva, uključujući, po potrebi, dokaz o ovlaštenju od strane nadležnog pravosudnog organa. Zahtevi se mogu podneti korištenjem pro forma obrasca za Zahtev za izmenu zaštitnih mera u skladu s pravilom 86(H). Napomena: Uputstvo za podnošenje zahteva za izmenu zaštitnih mera: Članom 5 Prelaznih odredbi u dodatku Statuta Mehanizma za međunarodne krivične sudove reguliše se koja je institucija nadležna za zaštitu žrtava i svedoka tokom preklapanja rada Mehanizma s radom MKSJ i MKSR. Zahtevi za izmenu zaštitnih mera trebaju se podneti nadležnoj instituciji u skladu sa sledećim Prelaznim odredbama: - U slučaju izmene zaštitnih mera koje se odnose na svedoke koji su svedočili u postupcima koji se trenutno vode pred MKSJ ili MKSR, zahtevi se podnose predsedniku MKSJ u skladu s Pravilom 75(H) Pravilnika o postupku i dokazima MKSJ, odnosno nadležnom veću MKSR u skladu s Pravilom 75(G) Pravilnika o postupku i dokazima MKSR. (Vidi član 5(1) Prelaznih odredbi.) - U slučaju izmene zaštitnih mera koje se odnose na svedoke koji su svedočili u postupcima koji se trenutno vode pred Mehanizmom, zahtevi se podnose predsedniku Mehanizma u skladu s Pravilom 86(H) Pravilnika o postupku i dokazima Mehanizma. (Vidi član 5(2) Prelaznih odredbi.) - U slučaju izmene zaštitnih mera koje se odnose na svedoke koju su svedočili u postupcima pred MKSJ ili MKSR koji su okončani, zahtevi se podnose predsedniku Mehanizma u skladu s Pravilom 86(H) Pravilnika o postupku i dokazima Mehanizma. (Vidi član 5(4) Prelaznih odredbi.) - U slučaju izmene zaštitnih mera koje se odnose na svedoke koju su svedočili u dva ili više predmeta za koje je Mehanizam, MKSJ, odnosno MKSR, nadležan u skladu s Prelaznim odredbama, zahtevi se podnose predsedniku Mehanizma u skladu s Pravilom 86(H) Pravilnika o postupku i dokazima Mehanizma. (Vidi član 5(3) Prelaznih odredbi.) Uzimanje iskaza pritvorenih lica ili njihovo svjedočenje u svrhu istraga ili postupaka u krivičnim, građanskim i administrativnim predmetima koji se vode u nekoj državi • Krivični predmeti koji se odnose na kršenja međunarodnog humanitarnog prava U skladu s pravilom 87, sudija ili vijeće u drugoj jurisdikciji ili strane u postupku koje ovlasti nadležni pravosudni organ (dalje u tekstu: “organ koji podnosi zahtjev”) može zatražiti pomoć Mehanizma za pribavljanje svjedočenja neke osobe koja je u nadležnosti Mehanizma, u tekućem postupku u jurisdikciji podnosioca zahtjeva koji se odnosi na kršenja međunarodnog humanitarnog prava počinjena na teritoriji bivše Jugoslavije nakon 1991. ili na teritoriji Ruande tokom 1994. godine, ili koja su počinili državljani Ruande na teritoriji susjednih država tokom 1994. godine. U skladu s ovim pravilom, Mehanizam može organu koji podnosi zahtjev pomoći u organizovanju svjedočenja pritvorenog lica iz prostorija Mehanizma putem video-konferencijske veze. Ukoliko pravne odredbe u jurisdikciji organa koji podnosi zahtjev ne dopuštaju da se prihvati svjedočenje putem video-konferencijske veze, Mehanizam može razmotriti mogućnost da pomoć pruži tako što će organu koji podnosi zahtjev odobriti pristup dotičnoj osobi kako bi njen iskaz saslušao u sjedištu Mehanizma, ili tako što će izvršiti transfer te osobe u skladu s pravilom 88. Zahtjevi na osnovu pravila 87 podnose se predsjedniku Mehanizma i moraju sadržati sljedeće informacije: - činjenicu da se zahtjev podnosi na osnovu pravila 87 navedenu na naslovnoj strani zahtjeva; - ime podnosioca zahtjeva i nadležnog organa koji provodi istragu ili vodi sudski postupak; - ime pritvorenog lica čija se pomoć zahtjeva; - relevantnost traženog svjedočenja za istragu ili sudski postupak čiji je učesnik podnosilac zahtjeva; - tačnu svrhu u koju se svjedočenje traži; - pravne odredbe iz nacionalnog zakona na osnovu kojih se traži svjedočenje; - datum ili period tokom kojeg se zahtjevom traži pomoć; - sve druge informacije potrebne za obradu zahtjeva. U svim drugim slučajevima kada se zahtjeva iskaz ili svjedočenje pritvorenog lica, zavisno od toga gdje se nalazi lice koje je pod nadležnošću Mehanizma, strana koja podnosi zahtjev za pomoć isti može podnijeti: • U Haagu, gdje je bilateralni zahtjev potrebno podnijeti Nizozemskoj. Ovi zahtjevi za pravnu pomoć mogu se podnositi na osnovu nekog važećeg sporazuma o međusobnoj pravnoj pomoći, ili, u odsustvu važećeg sporazuma, na osnovu službene zamolnice nadležnim sudovima u Haagu. Svi takvi zahtjevi podnose se Centralnoj upravi Kraljevine Nizozemske za međunarodnu pravnu pomoć. Uručenje sudskih dokumenata licu pritvorenom u Mehanizmu u vezi s izvršenjem zahtjeva za pravnu pomoć upućenog zemlji-domaćinu, vrši se u skladu s nacionalnim zakonima Nizozemske. • U Arushi, zahtjeve za pomoć treba podnosti sekretaru Mehanizma, i u njima je potrebno navesti relevantne informacije koje se traže u zahtjevu podnesenom na osnovu pravila 87, tačke od (ii) do (viii), kao što je gore navedeno. U oba slučaja, ukoliko se s predsjednikom ne dogovori drugačije ili ukoliko on drugačije ne odredi, redovne administrativne troškove koje Mehanizam prilikom ispunjavanja zahtjeva za pomoć zemlje-domaćina ili države koja je podnijela zahtjev snosi Mehanizam, ali značajnije ili vanredne troškove koje ostvari Mehanizam snosi strana koja je podnijela zahtjev. • Administrativni i građanski postupci Zahtjev za uzimanje iskaza pritvorenog lica u vezi s nekim administrativnim ili građanskim predmetom o kojem se vodi istraga ili zbog kojeg se vodi sudski postupak u nekoj drugoj jurisdikciji može se podnijeti na jedan od nekoliko načina u skladu sa zakonima i propisima zemlje-domaćina. (i) Iskaze mogu uzimati, bez prisile, diplomatski ili konzularni predstavnici države iz koje pritvoreno lice potiče, ili države koja zastupa njegove ili njenje interese akreditovani u zemlji-domaćinu, pod uslovom da se iskaz odnosi na predmet po kojem se vodi istraga ili krivični postupak u toj državi. Diplomatski ili konzularni predstavnik obavlja polaganje zakletve i ostaje prisutan kako bi se zajamčio integritet postupka. Spisak unapred pripremljenih pitanja dostavlja diplomatski ili konzularni predstavnik ili predstavnik strane koja je zatražila uzimanje iskaza. Zahtjeve mogu podnositi diplomatski ili konzularni predstavnici sekretaru Mehanizma. U Tanzaniji, sudija iz zemlje koja je podnijela zahtjev takođe može posjetiti lice u nadležnosti Mehanizma radi uzimanja iskaza. (ii) Iskaze mogu uzimati, bez prisile, javni bilježnik registrovan u Nizozemskoj (notaris) ili Tanzaniji koji u ime strane koja je zatražila uzimanje iskaza postavlja pitanja s unaprijed pripremljenog spiska. Uzimanje takvog iskaza može biti izvršeno bez prethodne saglasnosti ili obavještavanja vlasti zemlje-domaćina. Strana koja zatraži uzimanje iskaza po potrebi mora obezbijediti prisustvo sudskog zapisničara i prevodioca. Javni bilježnici mogu podnositi zahtjeve sekretaru Mehanizma. (iii) Kada se radi o osobama u nadležnosti Mehanizma u Haagu, njihove iskaze može uzeti sudija Okružnog suda u Hagu koji u ime strane koja je zatražila uzimanje iskaza postavlja pitanja s unapred pripremljenog spiska. Strana koja zatraži uzimanje iskaza na ovaj način može podnijeti zahtjev Okružnom sudu u Haagu u skladu s važećim sporazumom o međusobnoj pravnoj pomoći između države u kojoj se nalazi organ koji je podnio zahtjev i zemlje-domaćina ili, u odsustvu takvog sporazuma, na osnovu službene zamolnice koju Okružnom sudu u Haagu upućuje sud koji podnosi zahtjev. Svi takvi zahtjevi trebaju biti podnijeti Centralnoj upravi Kraljevine Nizozemske za međunarodnu pravnu pomoć. Uzimanje izjava ili svjedočenja od optuženog lica koje je privremeno pušteno na slobodu Zahtjev za pomoć u administrativnim, građanskim ili krivičnim predmetima po kojima se vodi istraga ili krivični postupak u nekoj drugoj jurisdikciji, a koji uključuju učešće osobe privremeno puštene na slobodu, u skladu s nalogom vijeća Mehanizma na osnovu pravila 68 Pravilnika o postupku i dokazima, treba uputiti nadležnom organu jurisdikcije u koju je to lice privremeno pušteno na slobodu, u skladu sa zakonima i propisima dotične jurisdikcije. Prilikom utvrđivanja da li da udovolji takvom zahtjevu za pomoć, ta jurisdikcija mora uzeti u obzir uslove iz naloga kojim je odobreno privremeno puštanje na slobodu i konsultovati se s Mehanizmom ukoliko bi se odobravanjem zahtjeva za pomoć možda prekršile odredbe iz naloga kojim je odobreno privremeno puštanje na slobodu. Uzimanje iskaza ili svjedočenja od pravosnažno osuđenog lica na izdržavanju kazne u državi u kojoj se izvršava kazna Uslovi zatvora za osobe koje su pravosnažno osuđene od strane MKSJ-a, MKRS-a ili Mehanizma i služe kazne koje su im u vezi s tim izrečene određeni su zakonima države u kojoj se kazna izvršava (Dalje u tekstu: država u kojoj se izvršava kazna). Shodno tome, zahtjev za pomoć koji obuhvata učešće osuđene osobe koja kaznu izdržava u državi u kojoj se izvršava kazna upućuje se toj državi. Država u kojoj se izvršava kazna će odlučiti da li da odobri zahtjev za pomoć u skladu sa svojim državnim zakonima i propisima i odredbama sporazuma o izvršenju kazni između Ujedinjenih nacija i te države ili suverene jurisdikcije u okviru te države. Uručivanje dokumenata pritvorenicima u vezi s administrativnim ili pravosudnim postupcima koji se ne vode pred Mehanizmom i uručivanje preporučene pošte pritvorenicima Dostavljanje dokumenata pritvorenicima u nadležnosti Mehanizma u Arushi, u vezi s administrativnim i pravosudnim postupcima koji se ne vode pred Mehanizmom, može vršiti sekretar. Uručivanje dokumenata pritvorenicima u nadležnosti Mehanizma u Haagu, u vezi s administrativnim i pravosudnim postupcima koji se ne vode pred Mehanizmom, jeste pravna radnja koja se provodi u skladu sa zakonima Nizozemske. Nizozemski zakoni omogućavaju uručivanje dokumenata na više različitih načina: - posredstvom diplomatskog ili konzularnog predstavnika, bez prisile, u administrativnim, građanskim i krivičnim postupcima pokrenutim izvan Nizozemske; - putem preporučene pošte naslovljene na pritvorenike u administrativnim, građanskim i krivičnim postupcima pokrenutim izvan Nizozemske; - podnošenjem formalnog zahtjeva Centalnoj upravi Kraljevine Nizozemske u skladu sa sporazumom o međusobnoj pravnoj pomoći između Nizozemske i države u kojoj se strana koja podnosi zahtjev nalazi; i - posredstvom sudskog izvršioca u administrativnim i građanskim postupcima pokrenutim izvan Nizozemske i administrativnim, građanskim i krivičnim postupcima pokrenutim u Nizozemskoj. Preporučena pošta upućena pritvorenicima šalje se na sljedeće adrese: Haaglanden United Nations Detention Unit Pompstationsweg 32 2597 JW, The Hague Nizozemska c/o Office of the Registrar Mechanism for International Criminal Tribunals Haki Road, Plot No. 486 Block A, Lakilaki Area Arumeru District Box 6016, Arusha, Tanzania Zahtjevi za ukidanje imuniteta nekog zvaničnika ili bivšeg zvaničnika MKSJ-a, MKSR-a ili Mehanizma Mechanism U slučajevima kada je neki zvaničnik ili bivši zvaničnik MKSJ-a, MKSR-a ili Mehanizma, pozvan ili mu je naloženo da dâ iskaz ili svjedoči u svojstvu svjedoka ili osumnjičenog u nekom administrativnom, građanskomili krivičnom predmetu po kojem se vodi istraga ili sudski postupak u nekoj državi članici Ujedinjenih nacija ili u nekoj drugoj jurisdikciji, može se ukazati potrebnim da generalni sekretar tom zvaničniku ukine imunitet, u skladu s Konvencijom o privilegijama i imunitetu Ujedinjenih nacija od 13. februara 1946. godine. (Dalje u tekstu: “Opšta konvencija”) i, u slučajevima gde je to primjenjivo, Sporazumom o sjedištu MKSJ-a, MKSR-a i Mehanizma, prije nego što se uzme izjava ili pristupi svjedočenju. Strana koja traži takvu izjavu ili svjedočenje podnosi zahtjev sekretaru Mehanizma, koji će ga proslijediti generalnom sekretaru Ujedinjenih nacija ukoliko takvo ukidanje imuniteta bude potrebno.
