3.	For the purpose of this Article in determining whether an offence is an offence against the law of both Contracting States:
	(a)	it shall not matter whether the laws of the Contracting States place the acts or omissions constituting the offence within the same category of offence or denominate the offence by the same terminology;

4.	Extradition may be granted pursuant to the provisions of this Treaty irrespective of when the offence in relation to which extradition is requested was committed provided that if the offence was committed before this Treaty enters into force it was at the time an offence against the laws of both Contracting States.
Article 3

3.	The taking or attempted taking of the life of any Head of State or any Head of Government or of a member of his or her family shall not be deemed to be a political offence or an offence of a political character for the purpose of this Treaty.
Article 5
Extradition of Nationals
1.	Each Contracting State shall have the right to refuse extradition of its nationals.
2.	If the Requested State does not extradite its nationals, that State shall at the request of the Requesting State submit the case to the competent authorities of the former for prosecution.

Article 7
Death Penalty

Extradition shall not be granted if the offence with which the person sought is charged or of which he is convicted, or for which he may be detained or tried in accordance with this Treaty, carries the death penalty under the law of the Requesting State unless that State undertakes that the death penalty will not be imposed or, if imposed, will not be carried out.
Article 8
Rule of Speciality

1.	Subject to paragraph 3 of this Article a person extradited under this Treaty shall not :
	(a)	be detained or tried, or be subject to any other restriction of his personal liberty, in the territory of the Requesting State for any offence committed before his extradition other than an offence for which the extradition was granted or any other offence described in Article 2 in respect of which the Requested State consents to his being so detained, tried or subjected to a restriction of his personal liberty; or

	(b)	be detained in the Requesting State for the purpose of his being extradited to a third State for an offence committed before his surrender unless the Requested State consents to his being so detained.

2.	A request for the consent of the Requested State under this Article shall be accompanied by a copy of any statement made by the extradited person in respect of the offence concerned and by the documents mentioned in subparagraphs (a), (e) and (f) of paragraph 2 of Article 11 in respect of the offence concerned.
3.	Paragraph 1 of this Article does not apply if the person has had an opportunity to leave the Requesting State and has not done so within 45 days of final discharge in respect of the offence for which that person was extradited or if the person has returned to the territory of the Requesting State after leaving it.
Article 9
Exceptions to Extradition
1.	Extradition shall not be granted in any of the following circumstances:
	(a)	where the person sought has acquired exemption from prosecution or punishment by reason of lapse of time or other lawful cause according to the law of either Contracting State in respect of the act or omission constituting the offence for which extradition is requested;
	(b)	where the act or omission constituting the offence for which extradition is requested is of a kind that, under the law of the Requested State, constitutes an offence only against military law;
	(c)	where the person whose extradition is requested is liable to be tried by a court or tribunal that is especially established for the purpose of trying his case or is only occasionally, or under exceptional circumstances, authorised to try such cases or his extradition is requested for the purpose of his serving a sentence imposed by such a court or tribunal;

	(d)	where the Requested State has substantial grounds for believing that the request for extradition has been made for the purpose of prosecuting or punishing the person on account of his race, religion, nationality or political opinions; or

	(a)	where an investigation is in progress or a prosecution is pending in the Requested State in respect of the offence for which the extradition of the person is requested;
	(b)	where the Requested State, while also taking into account the nature of the offence and the interests of the Requesting State, considers that, in the circumstances of the case, including the age, health or other personal circumstances of the person whose extradition is requested, the extradition of that person would be unjust, oppressive or incompatible with humanitarian considerations;
	(c)	in the case of a person convicted and sentenced in respect of an offence, less than six months of the sentence of imprisonment or any other form of deprivation of liberty imposed in the Requesting State for the offence for which extradition is requested remains to be served, taking into account the serious nature of the offence;
