Statute overview

About this statute

This article ratifies the Kenya–Rwanda extradition treaty and says the parties must extradite persons sought by the requesting state for trial or punishment for extraditable offenses. Several named ministers are entrusted with implementing this Order. This article says extradition must be refused if the requested person is a national of the requested State, and it sets follow-up steps when refusal happens. This Order takes effect when it is published in the Official Gazette of the Republic of Rwanda. Extradition may be refused in three situations: death-penalty risk without an assurance, prior conviction or acquittal in a third State for the same offence, or immunity because too much time has passed.
