Law Approving the Kingdom of Cambodia to be a Member of Convention against the Taking of Hostages

The purpose of this law is to give the meaning of The Hostages Convention (formally the International Convention against the Taking of Hostages), which is a United Nations treaty by which states agree to prohibit and punish hostage taking. The treaty includes definitions of "hostage" and "hostage taking" and sets out the principle of aut dedere aut judicare: a party to the treaty must prosecute a hostage taker if no other state requests extradition for prosecution of the same crime.
