On 1 December, Khaled Mohamed Ali al-Hishri was surrendered to the custody of the International Criminal Court (ICC). The ICC said that a hearing will be scheduled in due course for al-Hishri’s initial appearance before the Court. During this hearing, the Chamber will confirm the identity of the suspect and the language in which he is able to follow the proceedings. The Chamber will also satisfy itself that he has been informed of the crimes which he is alleged to have committed, and of his rights under the Rome Statute.
