Plain English Summary

2/10 complexity

These regulations set which foreign states count as "extradition countries" for the Extradition Act: any country (or its colony, territory or protectorate) for which the Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs is in force. They apply the Extradition Act to those countries, subject to the Convention, and repeal the earlier Extradition (Narcotic Drugs) Regulations.

This affects people and governments involved in extradition for narcotic‑drug offences with Convention parties and ties Australia’s practical list of partner states to the Convention’s entry‑into‑force status (see reg 5 and reg 6).
