Legal acts
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.
Article 9
1. States Parties shall afford one another the greatest measure of assistance in
connection with criminal proceedings brought in respect of any of the offences
referred to in article 4, including the supply of all evidence at their disposal necessary for the proceedings.
