The Request and Supporting Documents
The request for surrender of a fugitive offender shall be made by the requesting
Party through the appropriate channel. The channel to be used for making requests to it shall
be [notified] [stipulated] by each Party to the other at the time of entry into force of this
Agreement.
(2)
The request shall be accompanied by:
(a)
as accurate a description as possible of the person sought, together with any
other information which would help to establish his identity and nationality
including, if known, his place of residence;
(b)
a statement and particulars of the offence for which surrender is requested;
(c)
(3)
the text of the legal provisions, if any, creating the offence, and a statement of
the punishment which can be imposed therefor and whether any time limit is
imposed on the institution of proceedings, or on the execution of any
punishment imposed, for that offence.
If the request relates to an accused person, it shall also be accompanied by a[n
original] warrant of arrest issued by a judge, magistrate or other competent authority of the
requesting Party and by such evidence as, according to the law of the requested Party, would
justify the issue of a warrant of arrest had the offence been committed within the jurisdiction
of the requested Party.
(4)
If the request relates to an accused person, the requesting Party shall, in
addition, furnish such evidence as, according to the law of the requested Party, would justify
his committal for trial if the offence had been committed within the jurisdiction of the
requested Party, within such period of time as may be fixed by the appropriate authority of
the requested Party.
