About this statute

This article ratifies the extradition treaty and requires each party to extradite certain persons to the other on request, subject to the treaty’s terms. The listed ministers must implement the Order. The provision also says which offences count for extradition, including offences punishable by at least one year, some sentence-enforcement cases with at least six months left, and certain tax, genocide, terrorism, and money-laundering offences. This Order starts to apply on the day it is published in the Official Gazette of the Republic of Rwanda. This article lists grounds on which extradition may be refused, including nationality, pending local prosecution, death penalty issues, extraterritorial conduct, local territorial jurisdiction, and humanitarian concerns. Extradition requests must be written, sent through the diplomatic channel, and supported by required documents.
