Article-by-article comparison of the HKSAR / France Agreement ConcerningAgreement Concerning Surrender of Accused or Convicted Persons • December 12th, 2018
The title of the Agreement was changed to “accused or convicted persons” at the suggestion of the French side. According to the French side, the terms “accused persons” and “convicted persons” are used in all its extradition treaties, and the term “and” in French having a conjunctive sense is not appropriate in the context. Similar title is used in the HKSAR’s Agreement with Australia, Philippines and New Zealand. The change does not affect the substance of the Agreement. There was no objection from the HKSAR. Corresponding amendments are made throughout the Agreement.
