No notification has been received in respect of Article 26, paragraph 1. Notification has been received of a declaration by the Government of Cyprus in accordance with the provisions of Article 6, paragraph 1 as follows:
In respect of Article 6
The Government of the Republic of Cyprus declares that so long as under its Constitution no extradition of citizens of the Republic is allowed the term "nationals" within the meaning of the convention, as far as the Republic of Cyprus is concerned, should mean "citizens of the Republic of Cyprus or persons who, under the provisions relating to citizenship of the Republic in force for the time being, would be entitled to become citizens of the Republic".
Furthermore, under the provisions of the Criminal Code of Cyprus citizens of the Republic may be prosecuted in Cyprus, for offences committed in a foreign country, punishable with death or imprisonment exceeding two years if the act or omission constituting the offence is also punishable by the law of the country where it was committed.
