About this statute

The treaty says the contracting parties must extradite covered persons to each other when the treaty conditions are met. The Ministers of Foreign Affairs and Justice are responsible for implementing this article. Extradition/surrender is allowed only when the legal conditions in the requested country are met for an accused fugitive or a convicted person. Extradition is allowed only if the offence is punishable under the laws in force in both countries. High Contracting Parties are not bound to surrender their own subjects in any case. This article sets out the extradition procedure between the two contracting states.
