Schedule 2 Exchange of Notes in relation to the Treaty on Extradition, constituting an Agreement between the Government of Australia and the Government of the Republic of Turkey
(regulation 4)

Part 1 Note from the Australian Embassy in Ankara to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Turkey

NOTE NO:  028/95

The Australian Embassy presents its compliments to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Turkey and has the honour to inform the Ministry of the existence of an error in the English language version of the Treaty on Extradition between Australia and the Republic of Turkey done at Canberra on 3 March 1994 (hereinafter referred to as "the Treaty").

Article 2.1 of the Treaty reads in English as follows:

    "extraditable offences are offences punishable only by imprisonment for a maximum period of at least one year or by a more severe deprivation of liberty under the Laws of both Contracting Parties."

The Embassy has the honour to advise that this text contains an error in that the word "only" should not appear in Article 2.1.  The Turkish language version of the Treaty does not contain this error and therefore needs no correction.

In accordance with Article 79 (1) (b) of the Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties the Embassy has the honour to propose that this error be corrected by the deletion of the word "only" from Article 2.1 of the English language
