About this statute

This article ratifies the extradition treaty and says each Party must extradite a wanted person to the other Party on request, subject to the Treaty. Named ministers are responsible for implementing the Order, and the text also defines when an offence counts as extraditable. The Order starts to apply on the day it is published in Rwanda’s Official Gazette. This article lists situations where extradition may be refused and, in two cases, requires the requested State to refer the matter to its competent authorities if the other State asks. An extradition request must be in writing and sent through the diplomatic channel, with specified supporting documents and translations where required.
