national, or, if he is a stateless person, with the representative of the State where he usually
resides.
4. When a State, pursuant to this article, has taken a person into custody, it shall immediately
notify the States referred to in article 5, paragraph 1, of the fact that such person is in custody
and of the circumstances which warrant his detention. The State which makes the preliminary

Article 7
1. The State Party in the territory under whose jurisdiction a person alleged to have committed any offence referred to in article 4 is found shall in the cases contemplated in article 5, if it
does not extradite him, submit the case to its competent authorities for the purpose of prosecution.
2. These authorities shall take their decision in the same manner as in the case of any ordinary offence of a serious nature under the law of that State. In the cases referred to in article 5, paragraph 2, the standards of evidence required for prosecution and conviction shall
in no way be less stringent than those which apply in the cases referred to in article 5,
paragraph 1.
3. Any person regarding whom proceedings are brought in connection with any of the
offences referred to in article 4 shall be guaranteed fair treatment at all stages of the proceedings.
Article 8
1. The offences referred to in article 4 shall be deemed to be included as extraditable offences
in any extradition treaty existing between States Parties. States Parties undertake to include
such offences as extraditable offences in every extradition treaty to be concluded between
them.
2. If a State Party which makes extradition conditional on the existence of a treaty receives a
request for extradition from another State Party with which it has no extradition treaty, it may
consider this Convention as the legal basis for extradition in respect of such offences. Extradition shall be subject to the other conditions provided by the law of the requested State.
3. States Parties which do not make extradition conditional on the existence of a treaty shall
recognize such offences as extraditable offences between themselves subject to the conditions provided by the law of the requested State.
4. Such offences shall be treated, for the purpose of extradition between States Parties, as
if they had been committed not only in the place in which they occurred but also in the
territories of the States required to establish their jurisdiction in accordance with article 5,
paragraph 1.
