Background: Despite the Court's request for arrest and surrender of Omar Al Bashir to the Court, South Africa did not arrest and surrender him while he was on its territory between 13 and 15 June 2015. On 7 April 2017, Pre-Trial Chamber II held a hearing where it received submissions from Representatives of the Republic of South Africa and from the Prosecutor, for the purpose of a determination under article 87(7) of the Statute, in particular on the issues of: whether South Africa failed to comply with its obligations under the Statute by not arresting and surrendering Omar Al Bashir to the Court while he was on its territory; and, if so, whether circumstances are such that a formal finding of non-compliance by South Africa in this respect and referral of the matter to the Assembly of States Parties to the Rome Statute and/or the Security Council of the United Nations are warranted.
