About this statute

This provision ratifies the mutual legal assistance agreement between Rwanda and Zimbabwe and says the agreement becomes fully effective. This article names the authorities responsible for implementing the Order and states that the Parties must provide each other broad mutual legal assistance in criminal matters covered by the Agreement. Unless the parties decide otherwise, this Agreement does not affect obligations already existing between them under other agreements, arrangements, or similar bases. This Order starts to apply on the date it is published in the Official Gazette of the Republic of Rwanda. The requested party may refuse or postpone assistance in listed cases, but not just because of bank secrecy.
