2.With respect to the offences as defined in this Convention, the provisions of all extradition treaties and arrangements applicable between States Parties are modified as between States Parties to the extent that they are incompatible with this Convention.
一、第一條所稱各項罪行，均應視為締約國間現有任何引渡條約已經列為可以引渡的罪行。各締約國承諾在以後彼此間締結的所有引渡條約中將此種罪行列為可以引渡的罪行。
二、以訂有條約為引渡條件的締約國，如收到尚未與該締約國訂立引渡條約的另一締約國的引渡要求，被請求國得自行決定將本公約視為就第一條所稱罪行進行引渡的法律根據。引渡應依照被請求國法律所規定的其他條件進行。

Extradition shall be subject to the other conditions provided by the law of the requested State.
3.States Parties which do not make extradition conditional on the existence of a treaty shall recognize the offences set forth in article 1 as extraditable offences between themselves subject to the conditions provided by the law of the requested State.
4.The offences set forth in article I shall be treated, for the purpose of extradition between States Parties, as if they had been committed not only in the place in which they occurred but also in the territories of the States required to establish their jurisdiction in accordance with paragraph 1 of article 5.
一、各締約國對就第一條所稱罪行提起的刑事訴訟應互相給予最大限度的協助，包括提供它們掌握的為訴訟程序所需的一切證據。

2.The provisions of paragraph 1 of this article shall not affect obligations concerning mutual judicial assistance embodied in any other treaty.

In so far as the Geneva Conventions of 1949 for the protection of war victims or the Additional Protocols to those Conventions are applicable to a particular act of hostage-taking, and in so far as States Parties to this Convention are bound under those conventions to prosecute or hand over the hostage-taker, the present Convention shall not apply to an act of hostage-taking committed in the course of armed conflicts as defined in the Geneva Conventions of 1949 and the Protocols thereto, including armed conflicts mentioned in article 1, paragraph 4, of Additional Protocol I of 1977, in which peoples are fighting against colonial domination and alien occupation and against racist regimes in the exercise of their right of self- determination, as enshrined in the Charter of the United Nations and the Declaration on Principles of International Law concerning Friendly Relations and Co-operation among States in accordance with the Charter of the United Nations.
如果罪行僅發生在一個國家內，而人質和嫌疑犯都是該國國民，且嫌疑犯也是在該國領土內被發現的，本公約即不適用。
This Convention shall not apply where the offence is committed within a single State, the hostage and the alleged offender are nationals of that State and the alleged offender is found in the territory of that State.
本公約任何規定均不得解釋為可以違背「聯合國憲章」，侵害一國的領土完整或政治獨立。
Nothing in this Convention shall be construed as justifying the violation of the territorial integrity or political independence of a State in contravention of the Charter of the United Nations.
本公約的條款不應影響本公約通過之日已經生效的各項庛護條約在各該條約締約國間的適用；但本公約締約國不得對並非此等庛護條約締約國的本公約另一締約國援用此等庛護條約。
The provisions of this Convention shall not affect the application of the Treaties on Asylum, in force at the date of the adoption of this Convention, as between the States which are parties to those Treaties; but a State Party to this convention may not invoke those Treaties with respect to another State Party to this Convention which is not a party to those treaties.
一、兩個或兩個以上的締約國之間關於本公約的解釋或適用方面的任何爭端，如不能談判解決，經締約國一方要求，應交付仲裁。如果自要求仲裁之日起六個月內，當事各方不就仲裁的組織達成協議，任何一方得依照「國際法院規約」提出請求，將爭端提交國際法院審理。
