Criminal Justice (Illicit Traffic by Sea) Bill 2000: Second Stage.

 

Some changes to the 1994 Act are necessitated by the Bill. I will give an outline of these in addition to some other important changes on the scope of offences covered. The agreement, at Article 3, also requires that each party to it shall take such steps as are necessary to establish its jurisdiction over the relevant offences – any of the drug trafficking offences described in Article 3, paragraph 1 of the Vienna Convention – whether committed on board a vessel registered in a convention state or a vessel of no nationality.
