Article XI

Article 8 of the Convention shall be replaced by the following:

“Article 8

1. The offences set forth in Article 1 shall be deemed to be included as extraditable offences in any extradition

treaty existing between States Parties. States Parties undertake to include the 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 at its option consider this

Convention as the legal basis for extradition in respect of the offences set forth in Article 1. 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 the

offences set forth in Article 1 as extraditable offences between themselves subject to the conditions provided by

the law of the requested State.

4. Each of the offences shall be treated, for the purpose of extradition between States Parties, as if it had

been committed not only in the place in which it occurred but also in the territories of the States Parties required

to establish their jurisdiction in accordance with subparagraphs (b), (c), (d) and (e) of paragraph 1 of Article 4 and

who have established jurisdiction in accordance with paragraph 2 of Article 4.

5. The offences set forth in subparagraphs (a) and (b) of paragraph 4 of Article 1 shall, for the purpose of

extradition between States Parties, be treated as equivalent.”

Article XII

The following shall be added as Article 8 bis of the Convention:

“Article 8 bis

None of the offences set forth in Article 1 shall be regarded, for the purposes of extradition or mutual legal

assistance, as a political offence or as an offence connected with a political offence or as an offence inspired by

political motives. Accordingly, a request for extradition or for mutual legal assistance based on such an offence

may not be refused on the sole ground that it concerns a political offence or an offence connected with a political

offence or an offence inspired by political motives.”

Article XIII

The following shall be added as Article 8 ter of the Convention:

“Article 8 ter

Nothing in this Convention shall be interpreted as imposing an obligation to extradite or to afford mutual legal

assistance, if the requested State Party has substantial grounds for believing that the request for extradition for

offences set forth in Article 1 or for mutual legal assistance with respect to such offences has been made for the

purpose of prosecuting or punishing a person on account of that person’s race, religion, nationality, ethnic origin,

political opinion or gender, or that compliance with the request would cause prejudice to that person’s position

for any of these reasons.”
