country and has failed to avail himself thereof.
This treaty is drawn up in Arabic in duplicate. It shall come into force
with effect from the date of exchange of ratifications thereof by the two parties,
exchange to take place at the place to be agreed upon between them. It shall
remain in force for a period of three years and, failing notice by either party to
the other—three months before its expiry—of his desire for its substitution or

Done in Mecca on the 21st of Dhul Qi'dat, 1349, a.h., corresponding with the
8th April, 1931, a.d.
AS our efforts for the conclusion of an Extradition Treaty have been crowned
with success, and in view of the desire expressed by His Majesty the King in the
course of conversation between us on the morning of the 20th Dhul Qi’dat, 1349,
that I should submit a special formal letter on the subject of offences committed
by bedouins,
I have the honour to submit to your Highness that offences normally
committed by bedouins are bound to come within the acts of assault with violence,
robbery, plunder, highway robbery, theft of the various kinds, wounding or
murder, committed by one or more individuals against an individual or a group.
I assure your Highness that all these offences and also that of raiding, which
are provided for in the Bahra Agreement and in the Iraqi Law No. 47 of 1927
for the prevention of raids and plunder, are considered ordinary offences in
respect of which extradition will be carried out, and which it is impossible to
construe ” as political offences.
I trust that this, my letter, will fully satisfy the desire of His Majesty the
King.
Please accept, &c.
