ARTICLE III No Greek subject shall be surrendered by the Government of His Majesty the King of the Hellenes to the Government of His Britannic Majesty, and no British subject shall be surrendered by his Government to the Government of His Majesty the King of the Hellenes. ARTICLE IV Extradition shall not take place if the person claimed on the part of His Britannic Majesty's Government, or of the Government of His Majesty the King of the Hellenes, has already been tried, discharged, or punished, or is waiting trial in the territory of the United Kingdom or in Greece, respectively, for the crime or offence for which his extradition is demanded. If the person claimed on the part of the Government of His Majesty the King of the Hellenes, or of his Britannic Majesty's Government, should be awaiting trial or undergoing sentence for any other crime or offence in the territory of Greece or in the United Kingdom, respectively, his extradition shall be deferred until after he has been discharged, whether by acquittal or on expiration of sentence. ARTICLE V Extradition shall not be granted if exemption from prosecution or punishment has been acquired by lapse of time, according to the laws of the state applied to. Neither shall it be granted in the case of persons convicted by default, or otherwise, unless the sentence inflicted be at least one year's imprisonment. ARTICLE VI The person claimed shall not be surrendered if the crime in respect of which extradition is applied for be deemed by the party to whom application is made to be a political offence, or connected with such an offence, or if the person claimed proves that the application for extradition has in fact been made with a view to try or to punish him for an offence of this character. ARTICLE VII A person whose surrender has been granted shall in no case be detained or tried in the state to which the surrender has been made for any other crime, or on account of any other matters than those for which extradition shall have taken place. This stipulation does not apply to crimes committed after the extradition. The person who has been claimed, and whose extradition shall have been granted, shall not be tried or punished for any political offence committed prior to his extradition, nor for any matter connected with such an offence, nor for any crimes or offences not provided for in the present treaty. ARTICLE VIII The requisition for extradition shall be made through the diplomatic agents of the high contracting parties respectively. The requisition for the extradition of an accused person must be accompanied by a warrant of arrest issued by the competent judicial authority setting forth clearly the nature of the crime or offence with which the person claimed is charged. The said warrant shall also be accompanied by such evidence as, according to the laws of the place where the accused is found, would justify his arrest if the crime had been committed there. If the requisition relates to a person already convicted, it must be accompanied by a copy of the judgment passed on the convicted person by the competent court of the state that makes the requisition for extradition. A sentence passed in contumaciam is not to be deemed a conviction, but a person so sentenced may be dealt with as an accused person. In the event of any doubt arising as to whether the crime or offence, in respect of which the prosecution has been instituted, comes within the stipulations of the present treaty, the government applied to shall be at liberty to require all such further information as it may consider necessary or of assistance in order to form an opinion, after which it shall decide what action shall be taken on the demand for extradition. The requisitioning government, in furnishing such further information to the government applied to, shall, at the same time, place at the disposal of the latter all such documents as may be necessary or useful in enabling it to form an opinion. ARTICLE IX In cases of urgency provisional arrest may be effected upon notice being given, by post or telegraph, through the diplomatic channel that one of the documents enumerated in Article 8 has been issued, provided, however, that such notice shall always be given to the Ministry for Foreign Affairs of the state applied to. Provisional arrest shall be effected in the manner and in accordance with the rules laid down by the laws of the state applied to. It shall not be maintained if, within a period of one month from the date on which it has been effected, the state applied to has not been furnished with one of the documents specified in Article 8 of the present treaty. ARTICLE X All papers and documents issued by the authorities of the contracting states which may be produced in virtue of Articles 8 and 13 of the present treaty must be accompanied by an authenticated translation in the French language. ARTICLE XI The extradition shall take place only if the evidence be found sufficient, according to the laws of the state applied to, either to justify the committal of the prisoner for trial, in case the crime had been committed in the territory of the same state, or if extradition is claimed in respect |
