ARTICLE 4

Death Penalty

If the offence for which surrender of a fugitive

offender is requested under this Agreement is punishable

according to the law of the requesting Party with the death

penalty, and if in respect of such an offence the death

penalty is not provided for by the law of the requested

Party or is not normally carried out, surrender may be

refused unless the requesting Party gives such assurances

as the requested Party considers sufficient that a sentence

of death will not be imposed or, if imposed, will not be

carried out.
