Article 1 states that the Parties shall provide to each
other, in accordance with the Treaty, comprehensive mutual
legal assistance in criminal matters. Article 1(2) defines
legal assistance in criminal matters for purposes of the Treaty
as assistance provided by the Parties in connection with:
prevention, suppression, and investigation of crimes; criminal
prosecutions; and other proceedings related to such criminal
matters. Article 1(3) provides for legal assistance where the
conduct that is the subject of the request constitutes a crime
under the laws of both Parties. The Requested Party may, in its
discretion, also provide legal assistance where the conduct
that is the subject of the request would not constitute a crime
under the laws of the Requested Party. Article 1(4) states
explicitly that the Treaty is intended to apply solely between
the Parties; it does not give rights to any other persons to
obtain or exclude any evidence, or to impede the execution of a
request. Article 1(5) defines the term ``person'' to include
both individuals and legal entities in Article 1(4), Article
2(4), Article 5(3) subparagraphs 1-5, Article 10(1), Article
14), and Article 15(2).
Article 2 sets forth a non-exclusive list of the major
types of assistance to be provided under the Treaty, including
obtaining testimony and statements; providing documents,
records, and other items; serving documents; locating and
identifying persons and items; executing requests for searches
and seizures; transferring persons in custody for testimony or
other purposes under the Treaty; locating and immobilizing
assets for purposes of forfeiture, restitution, or collection
of fines; and providing any other legal assistance not
prohibited by the laws of the Requested Party.
