NON BIS IN IDEM NON BIS IN IDEM

Changes not yet applied. Later legislation changes this provision in ways not yet written into the text below:

Extradition shall not be granted if final judgment has been passed by the competent authorities of the requested Party upon the person claimed in respect of the offence or offences for which extradition is requested. Extradition may be refused if the competent authorities of the requested Party have decided either not to institute or to terminate proceedings in respect of the same offence or offences.
