Criminal Justice (Illicit Traffic by Sea) Bill 2000: Committee and Remaining Stages.

 

Where such requests are for the surrender of arrested persons they shall be supported in accordance with Article 15.2 by, in respect of each person, the original or a certified copy of the warrant of arrest or other order having the same effect, issued by a judicial authority in accordance without the procedure prescribed by the law of the flag state. The explanatory report governing the provisions in this agreement specifically indicate that the committee considered that the warrant of arrest would normally contain detailed information with regard to the charges against the detained persons. The right of the accused to know such charges would in any case be covered by the law of the flag state when it had exercised the preferential jurisdiction.
