An Act to facilitate the provision and obtaining of international assistance in criminal matters.

The need for effective international cooperation to combat transnational crimes and criminal organisations that try to exploit the loopholes caused by national boundaries and differences between enforcement jurisdictions of different countries is even more relevant in today’s interconnected world.
