EXCHANGE OF NOTES AMENDING ARTICLE 21 OF THE EXTRADITION AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE GOVERNMENT OF CANADA AND THE GOVERNMENT OF THE STATE OF ISRAEL

I

The Canadian Ambassador to the Minister for Foreign Affairs of Israel

Tel Aviv, Israel

February 4, 1969.

Note No. 30

Excellency,

I have the honour to refer to the Extradition Agreement between the Government of the State of Israel and the Government of Canada signed at Ottawa on March 10, 1967 and to discussions which have taken place between representatives of our two Governments concerning the amendment of the said Agreement.

I have the honour to propose that Article 21 of the said Agreement be amended to read as follows:

“This Agreement shall be ratified and the instruments of ratification shall be exchanged in Israel, as soon as possible. It shall come into force thirty days after the date of the exchange of ratifications and shall apply only to offences committed or convictions which have taken place after the date of signature. It shall continue in force until six months from the day on which either of the Contracting Parties gives notice in writing to the other through diplomatic channels of its desire to terminate it.”

If this proposal meets with the approval of your Government, I have the honour to propose that this Note, which is authentic in English and in French, and your reply to that effect, shall constitute an amendment to the Extradi­tion Agreement between the Government of the State of Israel and the Government of Canada referred to above, which shall come into force on the date of the entry into force of the said Agreement and shall be considered an integral part of the said Agreement.

Accept, Excellency, the renewed assurances of my highest consideration.

R. L. Rogers

Ambassador

I have the honour to refer to your Note of today concerning the proposal of the Government of Canada for the amendment of article 21 of the Extra­dition Agreement between the Government of the State of Israel and the Government of Canada signed at Ottawa on 10 March 1967.

The Government of Israel accepts the amendment as set out in your Note and agrees that this Note of reply together with your Note shall constitute an agreement to that effect between the two Governments.

Accept, Excellency, the renewed assurances of my highest consideration.
