Thanks for that. It is the last clause that is of interest. All of the privisions in that article seem to relate to the jurisdiction where the offence occured. So, where the last clause states "has been barred by the statue of limitations or covered by amnesty" does that mean whether the offence is covered by amnesty or limitations in the requesting jurisdiction or in Turkey ? I am reading it as relating to the requesting jurisdication on the basis that the judicary in Turkey could not issue an amnesty for an offence that occured in another Country. This would mean that the statute of limitations for the offence in Turkey is not relevant - it is the statute of limitations in the other Country that is the point at issue. After all, I can't see that Turkey (or any other nation) would extradite to a Country where the offence they are extraditing cannot be prosecuted once the suspect arrives there.

Any thoughts ?
