Statute overview

About this statute

This text defines several terms and sets rules for mutual legal assistance between Parties, including designated authorities, confidentiality, limits on re-use of shared information, and reasons for refusals. Parties must criminalize and punish intentional illicit drug trafficking conduct, and they may use treatment or rehabilitation measures in some cases. Each Party must or may establish jurisdiction over certain Article 3 offences in specified territorial, vessel, aircraft, nationality, residence, and extraterritorial situations. Each Party must adopt measures to allow confiscation of crime proceeds and related property, and to let competent authorities freeze, seize, and obtain records for that purpose. Each Party must send the Secretary-General the text of its laws and regulations that give effect to this paragraph, and any later changes. Parties should also seek bilateral or multilateral cooperation arrangements to improve international cooperation under the article.
