*

* Section 319 precept the following: " Section 319. Test in extra view. The depositions, commandments and other instruments or copies thereof, presented as evidence in the case of extra-supplementary cases, shall be received and shall be accepted as evidence in that view to all the effects of the case itself and legitimately of such The Court of Justice of the Court of Justice of the European Court of Justice of the European Court of Justice of the European Court of Justice of the European Union resident in that country shall be proof that the same so presented are authenticated in the required form. " * *

* The requirement of section 319 is fulfilled by certification-issued by the principal diplomatic or consular official of the United States residing in the State of extradition-that the documents they are in such a way as to be admissible in the courts of that State. Apostille certification in accordance with the said Convention of 1961 does not meet the express requirement, since it only certifies the signature, the quality of the signatory and the stamp placed on the documents. I do not certify the admissibility of the documents. The United States therefore considers that the requirement of Section 319 is not revoked by the Ministry of Article 8 of the 1961 Convention. * *

* However, it is to be noted that the certification issued by the principal diplomatic or consular officer of the United States referred to in section 319 also serves to legalize such documents and continue to serve as such without any need for legalization by U.S. officials, or by apostille certification under the 1961 Convention. * *

* According to the above, it is recommended that the States Parties to the 1961 Convention continue to protect, as hitherto, with the special certificate prevented in section 319, the supporting documents for extradition requests The United States. The fact that the extra documents may not be covered by the extra documents could unfortunately result in a decision by the Judge or Magistrate of the United States who is aware of the extra request. resolution, we say, that the documents do not meet the requirements of section 319 and, as a result, are not enabled to be received and admitted as evidence. In turn, such a resolution could come to a halt in the irrevocable refusal of the extradition request. > * *
