2 If a State Party which makes extradition conditional on the existence of a treaty receives a request for extradition from another State Party with which it has no extradition treaty, the requested State Party may, at its option, consider this Convention as a legal basis for extradition in respect of the offences set forth in article 3. Extradition shall be subject to the other conditions provided by the law of the requested State Party.
3 States Parties which do not make extradition conditional on the existence of a treaty shall recognize the offences set forth in article 3 as extraditable offences between themselves, subject to the conditions provided by the law of the requested State

Država zastave zagotovi, da je poveljnik njene ladje dolžan, če je to izvedljivo in če je mogoče pred vplutjem v teritorialno morje države sprejemnice, ki ima na krovu osebo, ki jo poveljnik namerava predati v skladu s prvim odstavkom, uradno obvestiti organe države sprejemnice o svoji nameri, da preda tako osebo, in razlogih za predajo.
3. Država sprejemnica sprejme predajo, razen če ima razlog, da šteje, da se konvencija ne uporablja za dejanja, ki so razlog za predajo, in nadalje ravna v skladu z določbami 7. člena. Vsako zavrnitev sprejetja predaje spremlja izjava z obrazložitvijo zavrnitve.
4. Država zastave zagotovi, da je poveljnik njene ladje dolžan organom države sprejemnice priskrbeti dokaz v poveljnikovi posesti, ki se nanaša na domnevno kaznivo dejanje.
5. Država sprejemnica, ki je sprejela predajo osebe v skladu s tretjim odstavkom, lahko zato zaprosi državo zastave, da sprejme predajo te osebe. Država zastave vsako tako zahtevo obravnava in če zahtevi ugodi, nadalje ravna v skladu s 7. členom. Če država zastave zahtevi ne ugodi, državi sprejemnici da izjavo z obrazložitvijo.

Nobena določba te konvencije na noben način ne vpliva na pravila mednarodnega prava, ki se nanašajo na pristojnost držav izvajati preiskovalno ali izvrševalno jurisdikcijo na ladjah, ki ne plovejo pod njihovo zastavo.

1. Država pogodbenica, na ozemlju katere so našli storilca ali domnevnega storilca, je v primerih, za katere se uporablja 6. člen, če ga ne izroči, dolžna brez izjeme in ne glede na to, ali je bilo kaznivo dejanje storjeno na njenem ozemlju, primer brez odlašanja predložiti svojim pristojnim organom zaradi kazenskega pregona s postopki v skladu z zakonodajo te države. Ti organi odločajo na enak način kot pri katerem koli drugem težjem kaznivem dejanju po zakonodaji te države.
2. Osebi, v zvezi s katero se izvajajo postopki glede katerega koli kaznivega dejanja iz 3. člena, se zagotovi pravična obravnava na vseh stopnjah postopkov, vključno z uživanjem vseh pravic in jamstev, ki jih pri takih postopkih predvideva zakonodaja države, na ozemlju katere je.

1. Kazniva dejanja iz 3. člena se štejejo za kazniva dejanja, za katera se lahko zahteva izročitev, v vsaki pogodbi o izročitvi med državama pogodbenicama. Države pogodbenice se zavezujejo, da vsa taka kazniva dejanja vključijo med kazniva dejanja, za katera se lahko zahteva izročitev, v vsaki pogodbi o izročitvi, ki jo sklenejo med seboj.
2. Če država pogodbenica, ki kot pogoj za izročitev postavlja obstoj pogodbe, prejme zahtevo za izročitev od druge države pogodbenice, s katero nima sklenjene pogodbe o izročitvi, lahko zaprošena država pogodbenica po lastni izbiri šteje to konvencijo za pravno podlago za izročitev v zvezi s kaznivimi dejanji iz 3. člena. Pri izročitvi je treba upoštevati druge pogoje, ki jih določa zakonodaja zaprošene države pogodbenice.
3. Države pogodbenice, ki kot pogoj za izročitev ne postavljajo obstoja pogodbe, med seboj priznajo kazniva dejanja iz 3. člena za kazniva dejanja, za katera se lahko zahteva izročitev, ob upoštevanju pogojev, ki jih določa zakonodaja zaprošene države.
4. Po potrebi se kazniva dejanja iz 3. člena obravnavajo za namene izročitve med državami pogodbenicami, kot da so bila storjena ne le na kraju, na katerem je do njih prišlo, temveč tudi na kraju pod jurisdikcijo države pogodbenice, ki zahteva izročitev.
5. Država pogodbenica, ki prejme več kot eno zahtevo za izročitev iz držav, ki so vzpostavile jurisdikcijo v skladu s 6. členom, in se ne odloči za kazenski pregon, je pri izbiri države, ki naj bi ji bil izročen storilec ali domnevni storilec, dolžna upoštevati interese in odgovornost države pogodbenice, pod katere zastavo je ladja plula, ko je bilo storjeno kaznivo dejanje.
6. Pri obravnavanju zahteve za izročitev domnevnega storilca na podlagi te konvencije je zaprošena država dolžna upoštevati, ali se njegove pravice iz tretjega odstavka 7. člena lahko uresničijo v državi prosilki.
7. Glede kaznivih dejanj, kot so opredeljena v tej konvenciji, se določbe vseh pogodb in dogovorov o izročitvi, ki se uporabljajo med državami pogodbenicami, spremenijo med njimi, če so nezdružljive s to konvencijo.

1. Države pogodbenice si medsebojno zagotovijo največjo pomoč v zvezi s kazenskimi postopki zaradi kaznivih dejanj iz 3. člena, vključno s pomočjo pri zbiranju dokazov, ki so jim na voljo in so potrebni za postopke.
2. Države pogodbenice izvajajo svoje obveznosti po prvem odstavku v skladu s katero koli pogodbo o vzajemni pomoči, ki obstaja med njimi. Če takih pogodb ni, si države pogodbenice medsebojno pomagajo v skladu s svojo notranjo zakonodajo.

1. Države pogodbenice sodelujejo pri preprečevanju kaznivih dejanj iz 3. člena, še posebej tako da:
a. sprejemajo vse izvedljive ukrepe, da preprečijo priprave na svojem ozemlju na storitev takih kaznivih dejanj na svojem ozemlju ali zunaj njega;
b. izmenjujejo informacije v skladu s svojo notranjo zakonodajo in usklajujejo upravne in druge ukrepe, ki se sprejmejo kot ustrezni za preprečitev storitve kaznivih dejanj iz 3. člena.
2. Kadar je bil zaradi storitve kaznivega dejanja iz 3. člena prehod ladje zamujen ali prekinjen, je katera koli država pogodbenica, na katere ozemlju je ladja ali so potniki ali posadka, zavezana, da stori vse potrebno, da ladja, njeni potniki, posadka ali tovor niso neupravičeno zadržani ali imajo zamudo.

Država pogodbenica, ki utemeljeno verjame, da bo storjeno kaznivo dejanje iz 3. člena, v skladu s svojo notranjo zakonodajo čim prej priskrbi vse pomembne informacije, ki so v njeni posesti, tistim državam, za katere meni, da so države z vzpostavljeno jurisdikcijo v skladu s 6. členom.

1. Država pogodbenica v skladu s svojo notranjo zakonodajo generalnemu sekretarju čim prej zagotovi vse pomembne informacije, ki so v njeni posesti, o:
a. okoliščinah kaznivega dejanja;
b. ukrepanju na podlagi drugega odstavka 13. člena;
c. sprejetih ukrepih v zvezi s storilcem ali domnevnim storilcem in predvsem izidih postopkov za izročitev ali drugih pravnih postopkov.
2. Država pogodbenica, ki kazensko preganja domnevnega storilca v skladu s svojo notranjo zakonodajo, obvesti generalnega sekretarja o končnem izidu postopka.
3. Informacije, ki se pošiljajo v skladu s prvim in drugim odstavkom, generalni sekretar sporoči vsem državam pogodbenicam, vsem članicam Mednarodne pomorske organizacije (v nadaljevanju “organizacija“), drugim zadevnim državam in ustreznim mednarodnim medvladnim organizacijam.

1. Spori med dvema ali več državami pogodbenicami o razlagi ali uporabi te konvencije, ki jih v razumnem roku ni mogoče rešiti s pogajanji, se na zahtevo ene od njih predložijo v arbitražo. Če se stranki v šestih mesecih od dneva zahteve za arbitražo ne morejo sporazumeti o organizaciji arbitraže, lahko katera koli od teh strank spor z zahtevo predloži Meddržavnemu sodišču v skladu s Statutom sodišča.
2. Vsaka država lahko ob podpisu ali ratifikaciji, sprejetju ali odobritvi te konvencije ali pristopu k njej izjavi, da je ne zavezuje katera koli določba ali vse določbe prvega odstavka. Te določbe ne zavezujejo drugih držav pogodbenic glede katere koli države pogodbenice s takim pridržkom.
