Saint Vincent and the Grenadines has a detailed Mutual Legal Assistance Act from 1993. It could potentially cover some of the international cooperation requirements in BCBudapest, but it is not known whether it has been or could be utilised for electronic evidence. Since it dates from 1993, it would not provide for the more-rapid communication methods that Budapest Convention permits for urgent mutual legal assistance requests.
The 2016 Bill provides for extradition for most or all of the substantive Budapest Convention offences.
