Following the signing of the ratification documents in Washington earlier this month, the international legal assistance treaty between the United States and Liechtenstein is set to come into force on August 1st, according to reports.
Although mutual legal assistance in penal cases was previously possible between the two countries, it has always previously been based on the principle of reciprocity, in line with international law. However, last July, the two states signed a treaty providing for enhanced cooperation, which was approved by Liechtenstein's parliament in March 2003.
According to the Liechtenstein News service, in addition to providing for legal assistance in the areas traditionally covered by such agreements, the treaty also allows legal assistance in cases of fiscal fraud.
