Page 739 TITLE 18—CRIMES AND CRIMINAL PROCEDURE § 3181 suspended; but such time limits from indictment to trial shall not be increased to exceed one hun- dred and eighty days. The time limits for the trial of cases of detained persons who are being detained solely because they are awaiting trial shall not be affected by the provisions of this section. (c)(1) If, prior to July 1, 1980, the chief judge of any district concludes, with the concurrence of the planning group convened in the district, that the district is prepared to implement the provisions of section 3162 in their entirety, he may apply to the judicial council of the circuit in which the district is located to implement such provisions. Such application shall show the degree of compliance in the district with the time limits set forth in subsections (b) and (c) of section 3161 during the twelve-calendar-month period preceding the date of such application and shall contain a proposed order and schedule for such implementation, which includes the date on which the provisions of section 3162 are to become effective in the district, the effect such implementation will have upon such dis- trict’s practices and procedures, and provision for adequate notice to all interested parties. (2) After review of any such application, the judicial council of the circuit shall enter an order implementing the provisions of section 3162 in their entirety in the district making ap- plication, or shall return such application to the chief judge of such district, together with an ex- planation setting forth such council’s reasons for refusing to enter such order. (d)(1) The approval of any application made pursuant to subsection (a) or (c) by a judicial council of a circuit shall be reported within ten days to the Director of the Administrative Of- fice of the United States Courts, together with a copy of the application, a written report setting forth in sufficient detail the reasons for grant- ing such application, and, in the case of an ap- plication made pursuant to subsection (a), a pro- posal for alleviating congestion in the district. (2) The Director of the Administrative Office of the United States Courts shall not later than ten days after receipt transmit such report to the Congress and to the Judicial Conference of the United States. The judicial council of the circuit shall not grant a suspension to any dis- trict within six months following the expiration of a prior suspension without the consent of the Congress by Act of Congress. The limitation on granting a suspension made by this paragraph shall not apply with respect to any judicial dis- trict in which the prior suspension is in effect on the date of the enactment of the Speedy Trial Act Amendments Act of 1979. (e) If the chief judge of the district court con- cludes that the need for suspension of time lim- its in such district under this section is of great urgency, he may order the limits suspended for a period not to exceed thirty days. Within ten days of entry of such order, the chief judge shall apply to the judicial council of the circuit for a suspension pursuant to subsection (a). (Added Pub.

Statutory Notes and Related Subsidiaries EXTRADITION TREATIES INTERPRETATION Pub. L. 105–323, title II, Oct. 30, 1998, 112 Stat. 3033, provided that: ‘‘SEC. 201. SHORT TITLE. ‘‘This title may be cited as the ‘Extradition Treaties Interpretation Act of 1998’. ‘‘SEC. 202. FINDINGS. ‘‘Congress finds that— ‘‘(1) each year, several hundred children are kid- napped by a parent in violation of law, court order, or legally binding agreement and brought to, or taken from, the United States; ‘‘(2) until the mid-1970’s, parental abduction gen- erally was not considered a criminal offense in the United States; ‘‘(3) since the mid-1970’s, United States criminal law has evolved such that parental abduction is now a criminal offense in each of the 50 States and the District of Columbia; ‘‘(4) in enacting the International Parental Kidnap- ping Crime Act of 1993 (Public Law 103–173; 107 Stat. 1998; 18 U.S.C. 1204), Congress recognized the need to combat parental abduction by making the act of international parental kidnapping a Federal criminal offense; ‘‘(5) many of the extradition treaties to which the United States is a party specifically list the offenses that are extraditable and use the word ‘kidnapping’, but it has been the practice of the United States not to consider the term to include parental abduction because these treaties were negotiated by the United States prior to the development in United States criminal law described in paragraphs (3) and (4); ‘‘(6) the more modern extradition treaties to which the United States is a party contain dual criminality provisions, which provide for extradition where both parties make the offense a felony, and therefore it is the practice of the United States to consider such treaties to include parental abduction if the other foreign state party also considers the act of parental abduction to be a criminal offense; and ‘‘(7) this circumstance has resulted in a disparity in United States extradition law which should be rec- tified to better protect the interests of children and their parents. ‘‘SEC. 203. INTERPRETATION OF EXTRADITION TREATIES. ‘‘For purposes of any extradition treaty to which the United States is a party, Congress authorizes the inter- pretation of the terms ‘kidnaping’ and ‘kidnapping’ to include parental kidnapping.’’ JUDICIAL ASSISTANCE TO INTERNATIONAL TRIBUNAL FOR YUGOSLAVIA AND INTERNATIONAL TRIBUNAL FOR RWANDA Pub.

CONVENTION ON EXTRADITION The United States is a party to the Multilateral Con- vention on Extradition signed at Montevideo on Dec. 26, 1933, entered into force for the United States on Jan. 25, 1935. 49 Stat. 3111. Other states which have become parties: Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, El Sal- vador, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, Nicaragua, Pan- ama. § 3182. Fugitives from State or Territory to State, District, or Territory Whenever the executive authority of any State or Territory demands any person as a fugi- tive from justice, of the executive authority of any State, District, or Territory to which such person has fled, and produces a copy of an in- dictment found or an affidavit made before a magistrate of any State or Territory, charging the person demanded with having committed treason, felony, or other crime, certified as au- thentic by the governor or chief magistrate of the State or Territory from whence the person so charged has fled, the executive authority of the State, District, or Territory to which such person has fled shall cause him to be arrested and secured, and notify the executive authority making such demand, or the agent of such au- thority appointed to receive the fugitive, and shall cause the fugitive to be delivered to such agent when he shall appear. If no such agent ap- pears within thirty days from the time of the ar- rest, the prisoner may be discharged. (June 25, 1948, ch. 645, 62 Stat. 822; Pub. L. 104–294, title VI, § 601(f)(9), Oct. 11, 1996, 110 Stat. 3500.) HISTORICAL AND REVISION NOTES Based on title 18, U.S.C., 1940 ed., § 662 (R.S. § 5278). Last sentence as to costs and expenses to be paid by the demanding authority was incorporated in section 3195 of this title. Word ‘‘District’’ was inserted twice to make section equally applicable to fugitives found in the District of Columbia. ‘‘Thirty days’’ was substituted for ‘‘six months’’ since, in view of modern conditions, the smaller time is ample for the demanding authority to act. Minor changes were made in phraseology. Editorial Notes AMENDMENTS 1996—Pub. L. 104–294 inserted comma after ‘‘District’’ in section catchline and in two places in text. § 3183. Fugitives from State, Territory, or Posses- sion into extraterritorial jurisdiction of United States Whenever the executive authority of any State, Territory, District, or possession of the United States demands any American citizen or national as a fugitive from justice who has fled to a country in which the United States exer- cises extraterritorial jurisdiction, and produces a copy of an indictment found or an affidavit made before a magistrate of the demanding ju- risdiction, charging the fugitive so demanded with having committed treason, felony, or other offense, certified as authentic by the Governor
