This regulation **stops that arrangement**, meaning Australia can no longer extradite (hand over) people to Denmark, nor request extradition from Denmark, under that specific law.\n\nThis likely occurred because the two countries were either:\n- Negotiating a new bilateral extradition treaty to replace the old one, or\n- Denmark was transitioning to a different legal framework for international cooperation\n\n**In simple terms:** Australia hit 'unsubscribe' on its extradition agreement with Denmark under this particular Act."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/extradition-cessation-of-application-regulations","history":"/api/acts/extradition-cessation-of-application-regulations/history","analysis":"/api/acts/extradition-cessation-of-application-regulations/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/extradition-cessation-of-application-regulations/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/extradition-cessation-of-application-regulations/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/extradition-cessation-of-application-regulations/documents"}}
