00:00Two days ago, the whole world has witnessed the degrading fashion in which a former president
00:09of a sovereign country was bundled into a private aircraft and summarily transported
00:16to The Hague. To us lawyers, this would be called an extrajudicial rendition. To the
00:26less legally inclined, it was a pure and simple kidnapping. My client was denied all
00:34access to the legal recourse in the country of his citizenship, and this all in the nature
00:42of political scores settling. Two troubled entities struck an unlikely alliance. An incumbent
00:52president who wished to neutralize and choke the legacy of my client and his daughter, on the other
01:00hand, and a troubled legal institution subject to delegitimization and desperate for a price
01:09cut and a legal show today, on the other hand. With this in mind, it is not surprising that my
01:17client was abducted from his country. ICC private jets do not drop out of the thin air. That jet
01:26which received my client was coordinated in advance. The UAE is not a state party to the
01:35ICC and has no obligation to cooperate with the court, yet my client sat in transit in that
01:45country for more than five hours. I invite the registry's representative to present today in
01:53court to explain to the judges exactly how they believe this transfer was anything other than a
02:01gross abuse of process. Given the precipitous arrival of my client, an early man with debilitating
02:11medical issues, hard of hearing, and poor of sight, he was taken to a hospital for observation. Only
02:21this morning have I met him for the first time with less than an hour to discuss legal issues.
02:30Legal issues. I have not been able to present him with a hard copy of the arrest warrant because we
02:40were not supplied with such. I have not even been able to explain to him what the prosecution
02:46requested when seeking the issuance of the arrest warrant. This is because the chamber only
02:53established a redacted version of the prosecution request last night. Other than to identify
03:00himself, my client is not able to contribute anything to this hearing. Most importantly, he
03:09is not able even to tell you that he has been informed of the charges as contained in the arrest
03:15warrant for more a reason more pertinent to which I alluded in my written request to this honorable
03:24pretrial chamber this morning and which is confidential in nature. Accordingly, I repeat my
03:33respectful request, which was rejected this morning, to postpone the substantive aspect of
03:40this hearing to the next week when I will have the opportunity to sit with my client and to
03:47explain to him what the confirmation hearing is and what the disclosure is and how the prosecution
03:55alleges that he committed crimes. I thank the court for its attention and regret to say that I do not
04:02have instructions to continue my submission any further today. Thank you.
