that State;

When the alleged offender is a national of that State;

Article 6
1.
Upon being satisfied, after an examination of information available to it, that the circumstances
so warrant, any State Party in whose territory a person alleged to have committed any offence
referred to in article 4 is present shall take him into custody or take other legal measures to
ensure his presence. The custody and other legal measures shall be as provided in the law of
that State but may be continued only for such time as is necessary to enable any criminal or
extradition proceedings to be instituted.
2.
Such State shall immediately make a preliminary inquiry into the facts.
3.
Any person in custody pursuant to paragraph I of this article shall be assisted in communicating
immediately with the nearest appropriate representative of the State of which he is a national,

4.
When a State, pursuant to this article, has taken a person into custody, it shall immediately
notify the States referred to in article 5, paragraph 1, of the fact that such person is in custody
and of the circumstances which warrant his detention. The State which makes the preliminary
inquiry contemplated in paragraph 2 of this article shall promptly report its findings to the
said States and shall indicate whether it intends to exercise jurisdiction.
