I move amendment No. 60:

In page 46, line 42, after "detention" to insert the following:

", and whether such orders were made by the Court before or after it commenced sitting in the State".

This amendment is designed to deal with a situation where the entire trial does not take place within the State but some order is made outside the State in respect of a trial, part of which takes place within the State. Clearly, an order made outside the State by the ICC should be accepted as valid within the State. This amendment aims to achieve clarity in this regard.
