"7. Jurisdictional priorities should be established giving territoriality the first priority, followed by other principles in accordance with existing international law. "E. Extradition "8. Extradition should be facilitated as one of the most effective procedures for implementing the principle of aut dedere aut iudicare, and States should endeavour to develop and implement effectively international extradition treaties, be they part of multilateral conventions, regional conventions or bilateral agreements. "9. The political offence exception should not be a bar to extradition for crimes of terrorist violence under existing international conventions, except in cases when the requested State decides to undertake prosecution of the requested person or to transfer the proceedings to another State to conduct the prosecution. "10. States are encouraged to rely on existing extradition provisions in multilateral treaties whenever there is an absence of bilateral treaties. "11. In view of the increasing number of multilateral and bilateral treaties, the efforts of the United Nations to elaborate a model treaty on extradition constitute a useful beginning. In addition, the United Nations could also consider elaborating a multilateral convention on extradition to remove gaps and loopholes in existing treaties and current extradition procedures. "12. Lawful alternatives to extradition, such as deportation or voluntary return subject to appropriate judicial guarantees, should be encouraged. "F. Mutual a$.sis.tanca. and. cQ-operation "13. The prevention and control of terrorist violence depends on effective mutual co-operation and assistance between States in securing evidence with respect to the prosecution or extradition of the offenders. "14. States are encouraged to lend each other the widest possible mutual assistance and co-operation in penal matters, subject to respect for internationally recognized human rights, and to rely on the provisions of multilateral treaties and specific regional and bilateral agreements. To achieve this end, the model treaty on mutual assistance in criminal matters constitutes a basis for strengthened international co-operation.
