BASIS FOR SURRENDER

that the person sought is the person convicted by the courts of the Requesting
Party.

ARTICLE 7

MANDATORY REFUSAL OF SURRENDER

(1) A fugitive offender shall not be surrendered if the Requested Party has
substantial grounds for believing:

   (a)  that the offence of which that person is accused or was convicted is a
        political offence or an offence of a political character;

   (b)  that the request for surrender (though purporting to be made on
        account of an offence for which surrender may be granted) is in fact
        made for the purpose of prosecution or punishment on account of race,
        religion, nationality or political opinions; or

   (c)  that the person might, if returned, be prejudiced at that person's
        trial or punished, detained or restricted in his personal liberty by
        reason of race, religion, nationality or political opinions.

(2) If any question arises as to whether a case is a political offence or an
offence of a political character the decision of the Requested Party shall be
determinative.

(3) For the purposes of this Agreement, the taking or attempted taking of the
life of the Head of State of the Republic of Indonesia or, in the case of Hong
Kong, the Head of State whose government is responsible for the foreign
affairs relating to Hong Kong, or, in either case, a member of the Head of
State's immediate family shall not be considered a political offence or an
offence of a political character.

(4) Surrender for an offence shall also be refused if the person whose
surrender is sought cannot under the law of either party be prosecuted or
punished for that offence.

ARTICLE 8

DISCRETIONARY REFUSAL OF SURRENDER

Surrender may be refused if the Requested Party considers that:

   (a)  the offence for which surrender is sought was committed within the
        jurisdiction of its courts;

   (b)  the surrender might place that Party in breach of its obligations
        under international treaties; or

   (c)  in the circumstances of the case, the surrender would be incompatible
        with humanitarian considerations in view of the age, health or other
        personal circumstances of the person sought.

ARTICLE 9

POSTPONEMENT OF SURRENDER

If the person sought is being proceeded against or is under punishment in the
jurisdiction of the Requested Party for any offence other than that for which
surrender is requested, surrender may be granted or deferred until the
conclusion of the proceedings and the execution of any punishment imposed.
Where the Requested Party so postpones it shall advise the Requesting Party
accordingly.

(3) If the request relates to an accused person it shall also be accompanied
by a copy of the warrant of arrest issued by a judge, magistrate or other
competent authority of the Requesting Party and by such evidence as, according
to the law of the Requested Party, would justify committal for trial if the
offence had been committed within the jurisdiction of the Requested Party.

(4) If the request relates to a person already convicted or sentenced, it
shall also be accompanied by:

   (a)  a copy of the certificate of the conviction or sentence; and

   (b)  if the person was convicted but not sentenced, a statement to that
        effect by the appropriate court and a copy of the warrant of arrest;

information and may fix a time-limit for receipt thereof.

(2) If the person whose surrender is sought is under arrest and the additional
