The 15-pages report sent to The Hague court said the government acted "in good faith" and said the ICC arrest warrant featured "uncertainties".
The document also asserted that the ICC prosecutor ICC "has neither the job of judging possible violations of cooperation nor the power to interpret domestic provisions".
In February the court has asked Rome to provide information on why Almasri was not handed over and on the fact that Almasri was not searched and the material in his possession was not seized.
The Libyan general was arrested at a hotel in Turin at dawn on January 19 and returned to Tripoli on a State flight following his release by a Rome appeals court in Rome on January 21.
