Resumen

The Commonwealth, the States of the Commonwealth and the Territory have agreed to a cooperative scheme to apply the criminal law of the States of the Commonwealth and the Territory extraterritorially in the areas adjacent to the coast of Australia. Under the scheme, the criminal law of a State of the Commonwealth or of the Territory is to apply in the area adjacent to the State or to the Territory: a) for a distance of 12 nautical miles from the baseline for the State or the Territory – by force of the law of the State or the Territory; and b) beyond 12 nautical miles up to a distance of 200 nautical miles from the baseline for the State or the Territory or the outer limit of the continental shelf (whichever is the greater distance) – by force of the law of the Commonwealth. Responsibility for administering criminal justice in the area covered by the scheme will be divided between the Commonwealth, the States of the Commonwealth and the Territory under the scheme and an intergovernmental agreement. The purpose of this Act is to give legal force to the cooperative, scheme, so far as it depends on the legislative power of the Territory, and to provide for consequential vesting of judicial and other powers.
