You are looking at changes to the International War Crimes Tribunals Act 1995. This Act is being updated to match the Search and Surveillance Act 2012. The updates replace the term 'Judge' with 'issuing officer' in some sections. You will see changes in sections 11, 29, and 48 of the International War Crimes Tribunals Act 1995. These changes affect how warrants are issued and executed. Some parts of the Act are being repealed or replaced. The Search and Surveillance Act 2012 explains what an issuing officer is. You can find this information in section 3 of that Act. The updates also change what happens when a warrant is executed. Some sections are being repealed, which means they are being removed from the Act. Other sections are being updated to match the Search and Surveillance Act 2012. You can find more information about these changes in the updated Act.
