Extraterritoriality & Extradition

Partial

Extraterritorial jurisdiction is recognised for all offences under the Criminal Code committed partially abroad, if the offender, whatever its nationality, comes into the territory pf Papua New Guinea afterwards (Section 12 of the Criminal Code). In these cases double criminality is not required. No form of active or passive extraterritoriality is provided.

SEC related offences can be considered extraditable if punished in both the requesting State and Papua New Guinea with at least one year of imprisonment, or otherwise if agreed as extraditable in an extradition treaty between the requesting State and Papua New Guinea. Double criminality is therefore required for extradition.
