EXTRADITION AND MUTUAL LEGAL ASSISTANCE TREATIES AND MODEL COMPREHENSIVE ANTIDRUG LAWS.

SEC. 4605. EXTRADITION AND MUTUAL LEGAL ASSISTANCE TREATIES AND MODEL COMPREHENSIVE ANTIDRUG LAWS. (a) Findings.—The Congress finds that— (1) section 133 of the Foreign Relations Authorization Act, Fiscal Years 1986 and 1987 (enacted August 16, 1985), directed the Secretary of State to increase United States efforts to negotiate updated extradition treaties relating to narcotics offenses with each major drug-producing country; (2) section 803 of the Foreign Relations Authorization Act, Fiscal Years 1988 and 1989 (enacted December 22, 1987) directed the Secretary of State to ensure that an objective of the United States diplomatic mission in each major illicit drug producing or major drug-transit country be to ensure that drug traffickers can be extradited to the United States; and (3) although some progress has been made pursuant to these directives in increasing international law enforcement cooperation with respect to illicit drug production and trafficking, much greater international law enforcement cooperation is required in combating the illicit drug problem. (b) Greater Emphasis Required.—Therefore, the Congress directs the Secretary of State to place greater emphasis on updating extradition treaties, and on negotiating mutual legal assistance treaties, with major illicit drug producing countries and major drug-transit countries. (c) Model Treaties and Antidrug Laws.—The Secretary of State and the Attorney General shall jointly develop a model extradition treaty with respect to narcotics-related violations (including extradition of host country nationals), a model mutual legal assistance treaty, and model comprehensive anti-narcotics legislation. The Secretary of State shall distribute such treaties and legislation to each United States mission abroad. (d) Report to Congress.—The Secretary of State shall report to the Congress, not later than six months after the date of enactment of this Act, on actions taken to carry out this section.
