(Declaration made at the time of signature)

As there is no homogeneous system for defining offenses in Comparative law nor in our legislation, and as an essentially subjective and integral procedure for classifying them has been
adopted in this Convention, our Delegation has signed it with the understanding that the interpretation of articles 7 and 8 when
applicable will be subject to the provisions of article 61 of our Constitution, particularly in that "no Guatemalan shall be handed
over to a foreign government for trial or punishment except for crimes covered by international treaties in force in Guatemala".
