Fourth Additional Protocol to the European Convention on Extradition sent to the State Duma for ratification

November 12, 2016

Vladimir Putin sent to the State Duma for ratification the Fourth Additional Protocol to the European Convention on Extradition, signed in Strasbourg on February 24, 2015.

The Protocol amends and supplements a number of provisions of the Convention in order to adapt it to modern needs when pursuing international cooperation on extraditing persons wanted by the requesting country’s relevant authorities for criminal proceedings or for serving a sentence. The provisions amended or supplemented concern, in particular, issues of expiry of periods of limitations, requests and supporting documents, transit, and re-extradition to a third state.

Implementing the Protocol will facilitate improved international cooperation on extradition.
