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.
