(c) (2) An act falls within this subsection if it is intended to cause, in any 1 or more countries, 1 or more of the outcomes speciﬁed in subsection (3), and is carried out for the purpose of advanc­ ing an ideological, political, or religious cause, and with the following intention: (a) (b) to induce terror in a civilian population; or to unduly compel or to force a government or an inter­ national organisation to do or abstain from doing any act.
(3) The outcomes referred to in subsection (2) are— (a) the death of, or other serious bodily injury to, 1 or more persons (other than a person carrying out the act): a serious risk to the health or safety of a population: destruction of, or serious damage to, property of great value or importance, or major economic loss, or major environmental damage, if likely to result in 1 or more outcomes speciﬁed in paragraphs (a), (b), and (d): serious interference with, or serious disruption to, an infrastructure facility, if likely to endanger human life: introduction or release of a disease­bearing organism, if likely to devastate the national economy of a country.
(b) (c) (d) (e) 17 Part 1 s 6 Terrorism Suppression Act 2002 Reprinted as at 1 August 2008 (5) (4) However, an act does not fall within subsection (2) if it occurs in a situation of armed conﬂict and is, at the time and in the place that it occurs, in accordance with rules of international law applicable to the conﬂict.
To avoid doubt, the fact that a person engages in any protest, advocacy, or dissent, or engages in any strike, lockout, or other industrial action, is not, by itself, a sufﬁcient basis for inferring that the person— (a) is carrying out an act for a purpose, or with an intention, speciﬁed in subsection (2); or (b) intends to cause an outcome speciﬁed in subsection (3).

Information falls within subsection (1)(c)(i) if it— (a) might lead to the identiﬁcation of, or provide details of, the source of the information, the nature, content, or scope of the information, or the nature or type of the assistance or operational methods available to the speciﬁed agency; or is about particular operations that have been under­ taken, or are being or are proposed to be undertaken, in pursuance of any of the functions of the speciﬁed agency; or has been provided to the speciﬁed agency by the gov­ ernment of another country or by an agency of a gov­ ernment of another country or by an international organ­ isation, and is information that cannot be disclosed by (b) (c) 39 Part 2 s 33 Terrorism Suppression Act 2002 Reprinted as at 1 August 2008 the speciﬁed agency because the government or agency or organisation by which the information has been pro­ vided will not consent to the disclosure.

(2) Without limiting subsection (1)(b), a party may have an inter­ est in a designation apart from any interest in common with the public through— 33 34 (1) 40 Reprinted as at 1 August 2008 Terrorism Suppression Act 2002 Part 2 s 35 (a) possessing or controlling, or having an interest in, prop­ erty to which section 9 applies as a result of the desig­ nation; or (b) making available property or services to which section (c) 10 applies as a result of the designation; or having an especially close association with the desig­ nated entity or its interests or objectives.
(3) An application under subsection (1) for revocation of a desig­ nation must be based on the grounds— (a) that the designation should not stand because the en­ tity concerned does not satisfy the test stated in section 20(1) or (3) or, as the case requires, in section 22(1) or (3); or that the entity concerned is no longer involved in any way in acts of the kind that made, or that would make, the entity eligible for designation.
(b) (4) However, the Prime Minister may not refuse an application to revoke a designation under section 20 or section 22 with­ out having ﬁrst consulted with the Attorney­General about the proposed refusal.

Except as provided in subsection (4), subsection (1) overrides every other provision of this Act.

Each State Party shall adopt such measures as may be neces­ sary: (a) To establish as criminal offences under its domestic law the offences set forth in Article 2 of this Convention; 2 3 Article 3 Article 4 76 Reprinted as at 1 August 2008 Terrorism Suppression Act 2002 Preamble Article 5 Article 6 1 2 International Convention for the Suppression of Terrorist Bombings—continued (b) To make those offences punishable by appropriate penalties which take into account the grave nature of those offences.
Each State Party shall adopt such measures as may be neces­ sary, including, where appropriate, domestic legislation, to en­ sure that criminal acts within the scope of this Convention, in particular where they are intended or calculated to provoke a state of terror in the general public or in a group of persons or particular persons, are under no circumstances justiﬁable by considerations of a political, philosophical, ideological, racial, ethnic, religious or other similar nature and are punished by penalties consistent with their grave nature.
(b) Each State Party shall take such measures as may be necessary to establish its jurisdiction over the offences set forth in Article 2 when: (a) The offence is committed in the territory of that State; or The offence is committed on board a vessel ﬂying the ﬂag of that State or an aircraft which is registered under the laws of that State at the time the offence is commit­ ted; or The offence is committed by a national of that State.

Upon ratifying, accepting, approving or acceding to this Con­ vention, each State Party shall notify the Secretary­General of the United Nations of the jurisdiction it has established in ac­ cordance with paragraph 2 under its domestic law.

Should any change take place, the State Party concerned shall immediately notify the Secretary­General.
Each State Party shall likewise take such measures as may be necessary to establish its jurisdiction over the offences set forth in Article 2 in cases where the alleged offender is present in its territory and it does not extradite that person to any of the States Parties which have established their jurisdiction in accordance with paragraph 1 or 2.

This Convention does not exclude the exercise of any criminal jurisdiction established by a State Party in accordance with its domestic law.
Upon receiving information that a person who has committed or who is alleged to have committed an offence as set forth in Article 2 may be present in its territory, the State Party con­ cerned shall take such measures as may be necessary under its domestic law to investigate the facts contained in the informa­ tion.
Upon being satisﬁed that the circumstances so warrant, the State Party in whose territory the offender or alleged offender is present shall take the appropriate measures under its domes­ tic law so as to ensure that person’s presence for the purpose of prosecution or extradition.
Any person regarding whom the measures referred to in para­ graph 2 are being taken shall be entitled to: (a) Communicate without delay with the nearest appropri­ ate representative of the State of which that person is a national or which is otherwise entitled to protect that person’s rights or, if that person is a stateless person, the 3 4 5 Article 7 1 2 3 78 Reprinted as at 1 August 2008 Terrorism Suppression Act 2002 Preamble 4 5 6 Article 8 1 International Convention for the Suppression of Terrorist Bombings—continued State in the territory of which that person habitually re­ sides; Be visited by a representative of that State; Be informed of that person’s rights under subparagraphs (a) and (b).
(b) (c) The rights referred to in paragraph 3 shall be exercised in con­ formity with the laws and regulations of the State in the terri­ tory of which the offender or alleged offender is present, sub­ ject to the provision that the said laws and regulations must enable full effect to be given to the purposes for which the rights accorded under paragraph 3 are intended.
The provisions of paragraphs 3 and 4 shall be without preju­ dice to the right of any State Party having a claim to jurisdic­ tion in accordance with Article 6, subparagraph 1 (c) or 2 (c), to invite the International Committee of the Red Cross to com­ municate with and visit the alleged offender.
When a State Party, pursuant to this Article, has taken a person into custody, it shall immediately notify, directly or through the Secretary­General of the United Nations, the States Parties which have established jurisdiction in accordance with Article 6, paragraphs 1 and 2, and, if it considers it advisable, any other interested States Parties, of the fact that such person is in custody and of the circumstances which warrant that per­ son’s detention.
The State which makes the investigation con­ templated in paragraph 1 shall promptly inform the said States Parties of its ﬁndings and shall indicate whether it intends to exercise jurisdiction.
The State Party in the territory of which the alleged offender is present shall, in cases to which Article 6 applies, if it does not extradite that person, be obliged, without exception what­ soever and whether or not the offence was committed in its territory, to submit the case without undue delay to its com­ petent authorities for the purpose of prosecution, through pro­ ceedings in accordance with the laws of that State.
Those au­ thorities shall take their decision in the same manner as in the 79 Preamble Terrorism Suppression Act 2002 Reprinted as at 1 August 2008 International Convention for the Suppression of Terrorist Bombings—continued 2 case of any other offence of a grave nature under the law of that State.
Whenever a State Party is permitted under its domestic law to extradite or otherwise surrender one of its nationals only upon the condition that the person will be returned to that State to serve the sentence imposed as a result of the trial or proceed­ ing for which the extradition or surrender of the person was sought, and this State and the State seeking the extradition of the person agree with this option and other terms they may deem appropriate, such a conditional extradition or surrender shall be sufﬁcient to discharge the obligation set forth in para­ graph 1.
Article 9 1 2 3 4 80 The offences set forth in Article 2 shall be deemed to be in­ cluded as extraditable offences in any extradition treaty exist­ ing between any of the States Parties before the entry into force of this Convention.

States Parties undertake to include such offences as extraditable offences in every extradition treaty to be subsequently concluded between them.
When a State Party which makes extradition conditional on the existence of a treaty receives a request for extradition from another State Party with which it has no extradition treaty, the requested State Party may, at its option, consider this Conven­ tion as a legal basis for extradition in respect of the offences set forth in Article 2.

Extradition shall be subject to the other conditions provided by the law of the requested State.
States Parties which do not make extradition conditional on the existence of a treaty shall recognize the offences set forth in Article 2 as extraditable offences between themselves, subject to the conditions provided by the law of the requested State.
If necessary, the offences set forth in Article 2 shall be treated, for the purposes of extradition between States Parties, as if they had been committed not only in the place in which they occurred but also in the territory of the States that have estab­ lished jurisdiction in accordance with Article 6, paragraphs 1 and 2.
Reprinted as at 1 August 2008 Terrorism Suppression Act 2002 Preamble International Convention for the Suppression of Terrorist Bombings—continued 5 The provisions of all extradition treaties and arrangements be­ tween States Parties with regard to offences set forth in Article 2 shall be deemed to be modiﬁed as between State Parties to the extent that they are incompatible with this Convention.
Article 10 1 2 Article 11 Article 12 States Parties shall afford one another the greatest measure of assistance in connection with investigations or criminal or extradition proceedings brought in respect of the offences set forth in Article 2, including assistance in obtaining evidence at their disposal necessary for the proceedings.
States Parties shall carry out their obligations under paragraph 1 in conformity with any treaties or other arrangements on mu­ tual legal assistance that may exist between them.

In the ab­ sence of such treaties or arrangements, States Parties shall af­ ford one another assistance in accordance with their domestic law.
None of the offences set forth in Article 2 shall be regarded, for the purposes of extradition or mutual legal assistance, as a political offence or as an offence connected with a political offence or as an offence inspired by political motives.

Accord­ ingly, a request for extradition or for mutual legal assistance based on such an offence may not be refused on the sole ground that it concerns a political offence or an offence connected with a political offence or an offence inspired by political motives.
Nothing in this Convention shall be interpreted as imposing an obligation to extradite or to afford mutual legal assistance, if the requested State Party has substantial grounds for believing that the request for extradition for offences set forth in Article 2 or for mutual legal assistance with respect to such offences has been made for the purpose of prosecuting or punishing a person on account of that person’s race, religion, nationality, ethnic origin or political opinion or that compliance with the request would cause prejudice to that person’s position for any of these reasons.

Schedule 2 International Convention for the Suppression of the Financing of Terrorism s 4(1) Preamble The States Parties to this Convention, Bearing in mind the purposes and principles of the Char­ ter of the United Nations concerning the maintenance of international peace and security and the promotion of good­neighbourliness and friendly relations and cooperation among States, Deeply concerned about the worldwide escalation of acts of terrorism in all its forms and manifestations, Recalling the Declaration on the Occasion of the Fiftieth An­ niversary of the United Nations, contained in General Assem­ bly resolution 50/6 of 24 October 1995, Recalling also all the relevant General Assembly resolutions on the matter, including resolution 49/60 of 9 December 1994 86 Reprinted as at 1 August 2008 Terrorism Suppression Act 2002 Preamble and its annex on the Declaration on Measures to Eliminate International Terrorism, in which the States Members of the United Nations solemnly reafﬁrmed their unequivocal con­ demnation of all acts, methods and practices of terrorism as criminal and unjustiﬁable, wherever and by whomever com­ mitted, including those which jeopardize the friendly relations among States and peoples and threaten the territorial integrity and security of States, Noting that the Declaration on Measures to Eliminate Inter­ national Terrorism also encouraged States to review urgently the scope of the existing international legal provisions on the prevention, repression and elimination of terrorism in all its forms and manifestations, with the aim of ensuring that there is a comprehensive legal framework covering all aspects of the matter, Recalling General Assembly resolution 51/210 of 17 Decem­ ber 1996, paragraph 3, subparagraph (f), in which the Assem­ bly called upon all States to take steps to prevent and counter­ act, through appropriate domestic measures, the ﬁnancing of terrorists and terrorist organizations, whether such ﬁnancing is direct or indirect through organizations which also have or claim
 to have charitable, social or cultural goals or which are also engaged in unlawful activities such as illicit arms trafﬁck­ ing, drug dealing and racketeering, including the exploitation of persons for purposes of funding terrorist activities, and in particular to consider, where appropriate, adopting regulatory measures to prevent and counteract movements of funds sus­ pected to be intended for terrorist purposes without impeding in any way the freedom of legitimate capital movements and to intensify the exchange of information concerning international movements of such funds, Recalling also General Assembly resolution 52/165 of 15 De­ cember 1997, in which the Assembly called upon States to consider, in particular, the implementation of the measures set out in paragraphs 3 (a) to (f) of its resolution 51/210 of 17 De­ cember 1996, Recalling further General Assembly resolution 53/108 of 8 December 1998, in which the Assembly decided that the Ad 87 Preamble Terrorism Suppression Act 2002 Reprinted as at 1 August 2008 Hoc Committee established by General Assembly resolution 51/210 of 17 December 1996 should elaborate a draft inter­ national convention for the suppression of terrorist ﬁnancing to supplement related existing international instruments, Considering that the ﬁnancing of terrorism is a matter of grave concern to the international community as a whole, Noting that the number and seriousness of acts of international terrorism depend on the ﬁnancing that terrorists may obtain, Noting also that existing multilateral legal instruments do not expressly address such ﬁnancing, Being convinced of the urgent need to enhance international cooperation among States in devising and adopting effective measures for the prevention of the ﬁnancing of terrorism, as well as for its suppression through the prosecution and pun­ ishment of its perpetrators, Have agreed as follows: Article 1 For the purposes of this Convention: 1 Funds means assets of every kind, whether tangible
 or intan­ gible, movable or immovable, however acquired, and legal documents or instruments in any form, including electronic or digital, evidencing title to, or interest in, such assets, includ­ ing, but not limited to, bank credits, travellers cheques, bank cheques, money orders, shares, securities, bonds, drafts, let­ ters of credit.

2 (a) On depositing its instrument of ratiﬁcation, acceptance, approval or accession, a State Party which is not a party to a treaty listed in the annex may declare that, in the application of this Convention to the State Party, the treaty shall be deemed not to be included in the annex referred to in paragraph 1, subparagraph (a).
The dec­ laration shall cease to have effect as soon as the treaty enters into force for the State Party, which shall notify the depositary of this fact; 3 4 (b) When a State Party ceases to be a party to a treaty listed in the annex, it may make a declaration as provided for in this article, with respect to that treaty.

When more than one State Party claims jurisdiction over the offences set forth in article 2, the relevant States Parties shall strive to coordinate their actions appropriately, in particular concerning the conditions for prosecution and the modalities for mutual legal assistance.

Each State Party shall take appropriate measures, in accord­ ance with its domestic legal principles, for the identiﬁcation, detection and freezing or seizure of any funds used or allo­ cated for the purpose of committing the offences set forth in article 2 as well as the proceeds derived from such offences, for purposes of possible forfeiture.
Each State Party shall take appropriate measures, in accord­ ance with its domestic legal principles, for the forfeiture of funds used or allocated for the purpose of committing the of­ fences set forth in article 2 and the proceeds derived from such offences.

Upon being satisﬁed that the circumstances so warrant, the State Party in whose territory the offender or alleged offender is present shall take the appropriate measures under its domes­ tic law so as to ensure that person’s presence for the purpose of prosecution or extradition.

Those au­ thorities shall take their decision in the same manner as in the case of any other offence of a grave nature under the law of that State.
Whenever a State Party is permitted under its domestic law to extradite or otherwise surrender one of its nationals only upon the condition that the person will be returned to that State to serve the sentence imposed as a result of the trial or proceed­ ing for which the extradition or surrender of the person was sought, and this State and the State seeking the extradition of the person agree with this option and other terms they may deem appropriate, such a conditional extradition or surrender 5 6 Article 10 1 2 94 Reprinted as at 1 August 2008 Terrorism Suppression Act 2002 Preamble Article 11 shall be sufﬁcient to discharge the obligation set forth in para­ graph 1.

Extradition shall be subject to the other conditions provided by the law of the requested State.
States Parties which do not make extradition conditional on the existence of a treaty shall recognize the offences set forth in article 2 as extraditable offences between themselves, subject to the conditions provided by the law of the requested State.
If necessary, the offences set forth in article 2 shall be treated, for the purposes of extradition between States Parties, as if they had been committed not only in the place in which they occurred but also in the territory of the States that have estab­ lished jurisdiction in accordance with article 7, paragraphs 1 and 2.

Accord­ ingly, a request for extradition or for mutual legal assistance based on such an offence may not be refused on the sole ground that it concerns a political offence or an offence connected with a political offence or an offence inspired by political motives.
Nothing in this Convention shall be interpreted as imposing an obligation to extradite or to afford mutual legal assistance, if the requested State Party has substantial grounds for believing that the request for extradition for offences set forth in article 2 or for mutual legal assistance with respect to such offences has been made for the purpose of prosecuting or punishing a person on account of that person’s race, religion, nationality, ethnic origin or political opinion or that compliance with the Reprinted as at 1 August 2008 Terrorism Suppression Act 2002 Preamble Article 16 1 request would cause prejudice to that person’s position for any of these reasons.

Article 2A 1.

2.
Each State Party shall establish, implement and main­ tain an appropriate physical protection regime applic­ able to nuclear material and nuclear facilities under its jurisdiction, with the aim of: (a) protecting against theft and other unlawful taking of nuclear material in use, storage and transport; ensuring the implementation of rapid and com­ prehensive measures to locate and, where appro­ priate, recover missing or stolen nuclear material; when the material is located outside its territory, that State Party shall act in accordance with art­ icle 5; protecting nuclear material and nuclear facilities against sabotage; and (b) (c) (d) mitigating or minimizing the radiological conse­ quences of sabotage.
In implementing paragraph 1, each State Party shall: (a) establish and maintain a legislative and regula­ tory framework to govern physical protection; establish or designate a competent authority or authorities responsible for the implementation of the legislative and regulatory framework; and (b) 108 Reprinted as at 1 August 2008 Terrorism Suppression Act 2002 Preamble 3.

(c) take other appropriate measures necessary for the physical protection of nuclear material and nu­ clear facilities.
In implementing the obligations under paragraphs 1 and 2, each State Party shall, without prejudice to any other provisions of this Convention, apply insofar as is reasonable and practicable the following Fundamental Principles of Physical Protection of Nuclear Material and Nuclear Facilities.

Fundamental Principle A: Responsibility of the State The responsibility for the establishment, implementa­ tion and maintenance of a physical protection regime within a State rests entirely with that State.
Fundamental Principle B: Responsibilities During International Transport The responsibility of a State for ensuring that nuclear material is adequately protected extends to the inter­ national transport thereof, until that responsibility is properly transferred to another State, as appropriate.

Fundamental Principle C: Legislative and Regulatory Framework The State is responsible for establishing and maintain­ ing a legislative and regulatory framework to govern physical protection.
This framework should provide for the establishment of applicable physical protection re­ quirements and include a system of evaluation and li­ censing or other procedures to grant authorization.

This framework should include a system of inspection of nu­ clear facilities and transport to verify compliance with applicable requirements and conditions of the license or other authorizing document, and to establish a means to enforce applicable requirements and conditions, includ­ ing effective sanctions.
Fundamental Principle D: Competent Authority The State should establish or designate a competent au­ thority which is responsible for the implementation of the legislative and regulatory framework, and is pro­ vided with adequate authority, competence and ﬁnan­ 109 Preamble Terrorism Suppression Act 2002 Reprinted as at 1 August 2008 cial and human resources to fulﬁll its assigned responsi­ bilities.
The State should take steps to ensure an effect­ ive independence between the functions of the State’s competent authority and those of any other body in charge of the promotion or utilization of nuclear energy.

Fundamental Principle E: Responsibility of the License Holders implementing the various The responsibilities for elements of physical protection within a State should be clearly identiﬁed.
The State should ensure that the prime responsibility for the implementation of physical protection of nuclear material or of nuclear facilities rests with the holders of the relevant licenses or of other authorizing documents (e.g., operators or shippers).
Fundamental Principle F: Security Culture All organizations involved in implementing physical protection should give due priority to the security cul­ ture, to its development and maintenance necessary to ensure its effective implementation in the entire organ­ ization.

Fundamental Principle G: Threat The State’s physical protection should be based on the State’s current evaluation of the threat.
Fundamental Principle H: Graded Approach Physical protection requirements should be based on a graded approach, taking into account the current evalu­ ation of the threat, the relative attractiveness, the nature of the material and potential consequences associated with the unauthorized removal of nuclear material and with the sabotage against nuclear material or nuclear fa­ cilities.
Fundamental Principle I: Defence in Depth The State’s requirements for physical protection should reﬂect a concept of several layers and methods of pro­ tection (structural or other technical, personnel and or­ ganizational) that have to be overcome or circumvented by an adversary in order to achieve his objectives.
Fundamental Principle J: Quality Assurance 110 Reprinted as at 1 August 2008 Terrorism Suppression Act 2002 Preamble A quality assurance policy and quality assurance pro­ grammes should be established and implemented with a view to providing conﬁdence that speciﬁed require­ ments for all activities important to physical protection are satisﬁed.
Fundamental Principle K: Contingency Plans Contingency (emergency) plans to respond to unauthor­ ized removal of nuclear material or sabotage of nuclear facilities or nuclear material, or attempts thereof, should be prepared and appropriately exercised by all license holders and authorities concerned.
Fundamental Principle L: Conﬁdentiality The State should establish requirements for protecting the conﬁdentiality of information, the unauthorized dis­ closure of which could compromise the physical protec­ tion of nuclear material and nuclear facilities.

Each State Party shall apply within the framework of its na­ tional law the levels of physical protection described in Annex I to nuclear material being transported from a part of that State to another part of the same State through international waters or airspace.
The State Party responsible for receiving assurances that the nuclear material will be protected at the levels described in Annex I according to paragraphs 1 to 3 shall identify and in­ form in advance States which the nuclear material is expected to transit by land or internal waterways, or whose airports or seaports it is expected to enter.
The responsibility for obtaining assurances referred to in para­ graph 1 may be transferred, by mutual agreement, to the State Party involved in the transport as the importing State.

Nothing in this article shall be interpreted as in any way af­ fecting the territorial sovereignty and jurisdiction of a State, including that over its airspace and territorial sea.

Upon being satisﬁed that the circumstances so warrant, the State Party in whose territory the offender or alleged offender is present shall take the appropriate measures under its national law so as to ensure that person’s pres­ ence for the purpose of prosecution or extradition.
Any person regarding whom the measures referred to in paragraph 2 of the present article are being taken shall be entitled: (a) To communicate without delay with the nearest appropriate representative of the State of which that person is a national or which is otherwise entitled to protect that person’s rights or, if that person is a stateless person, the State in the terri­ tory of which that person habitually resides; To be visited by a representative of that State; To be informed of that person’s rights under sub­ paragraphs (a) and (b).

Those authorities shall take their decision in the same manner as in the case of any other offence of a grave nature under the law of that State.

2.
Whenever a State Party is permitted under its national law to extradite or otherwise surrender one of its na­ tionals only upon the condition that the person will be returned to that State to serve the sentence imposed as a result of the trial or proceeding for which the extra­ dition or surrender of the person was sought, and this State and the State seeking the extradition of the person agree with this option and other terms they may deem appropriate, such a conditional extradition or surrender shall be sufﬁcient to discharge the obligation set forth in paragraph 1 of the present article.

When a State Party which makes extradition conditional on the existence of a treaty receives a request for ex­ tradition from another State Party with which it has no extradition treaty, the requested State Party may, at its option, consider this Convention as a legal basis for ex­ tradition in respect of the offences set forth in article 2.

Extradition shall be subject to the other conditions pro­ vided by the law of the requested State.
States Parties which do not make extradition condi­ tional on the existence of a treaty shall recognize the offences set forth in article 2 as extraditable offences between themselves, subject to the conditions provided by the law of the requested State.
If necessary, the offences set forth in article 2 shall be treated, for the purposes of extradition between States Parties, as if they had been committed not only in the place in which they occurred but also in the territory of the States that have established jurisdiction in accord­ ance with article 9, paragraphs 1 and 2.
The provisions of all extradition treaties and arrange­ ments between States Parties with regard to offences set forth in article 2 shall be deemed to be modiﬁed as be­ tween States Parties to the extent that they are incom­ patible with this Convention.

None of the offences set forth in article 2 shall be regarded, for the purposes of extradition or mutual legal assistance, as a political offence or as an offence connected with a political offence or as an offence inspired by political motives.
Accord­ ingly, a request for extradition or for mutual legal assistance based on such an offence may not be refused on the sole ground that it concerns a political offence or an offence connected with a political offence or an offence inspired by political motives.
Nothing in this Convention shall be interpreted as imposing an obligation to extradite or to afford mutual legal assistance if the requested State Party has substantial grounds for believing that the request for extradition for offences set forth in article 2 or for mutual legal assistance with respect to such offences has been made for the purpose of prosecuting or punishing a person on account of that person’s race, religion, nationality, ethnic origin or political opinion or that compliance with the request would cause prejudice to that person’s position for any of these reasons.
