Either High Contracting Party may terminate this Treaty separately in respect of any of the above-mentioned dominions or India. Such termination shall be effected by a notice given in accordance with the provisions of Article 22.

Any notice given under the first paragraph of this article in respect of one of His Britannic Majesty’s dominions may include any territory in respect of which a mandate on behalf of the League of Nations has been accepted by His Britannic Majesty, and which is being administered by the Government of the Dominion concerned; such territory shall, if so included, be deemed to be territory of His Britannic Majesty for the purpose of the present Treaty. Any notice given under the third paragraph of this article shall be applicable to such mandated territory.

Article 19.

The requisition for the surrender of a fugitive criminal who has taken refuge in any territory of His Britannic Majesty other than Great Britain and Northern Ireland, the Channel Islands, or the Isle of Man, or the dominions, or India, mentioned in Article 18, shall be made to the Governor, or chief authority, of such territory by the appropriate diplomatic or consular officer of Iraq.

Such requisition shall be dealt with by the competent authorities of such territory: Provided, nevertheless, that if an order for the committal of the fugitive criminal to prison to await surrender shall be made, the said Governor or chief authority may, instead of issuing a warrant for the surrender of such fugitive, refer the matter to His Majesty’s Government in the United Kingdom.

If after the signature of the present Treaty it is considered advisable to extend its provisions to any British Protectorates other than those mentioned in the preceding article or to any British-protected State, or to any territory in respect of which a mandate on behalf of the League of Nations has been accepted by His Britannic Majesty, other than those mandated territories mentioned in Articles 18 and 20, the stipulations of Articles 18 and 19 shall be deemed to apply to such Protectorates or States or mandated territories from the date and in the manner prescribed in the notes to be exchanged for the purpose of effecting such extension.

Article 22.

The present Treaty shall come into force ten days after its publication, in conformity with the forms prescribed by the laws of the High Contracting Parties. It may be terminated by either of the High Contracting Parties by a notice not exceeding one year and not less than six months.

In the absence of an express provision to that effect, a notice given under the first paragraph of this article shall not affect the operation of the Treaty as between Iraq and any territory in respect of which notice of accession has been given under Article 18.

The present Treaty shall be ratified, and the ratification shall be exchanged at Baghdad as soon as possible.

In faith whereof the above-named plenipotentiaries have signed the present Treaty and have affixed thereto their seals.
