This provision gives the Attorney General and other authorities powers to help with cross-border criminal cooperation, search and seizure, custody transfer, service of process, and enforcement of foreign confiscation orders. It also creates offences for escaping custody and obstructing an authorized officer, and protects people who comply in good faith with certain orders or warrants.
