"content": "It is also important to mention one aspect. We know soldiers from South Africa may come here. In our laws, we provide for capital punishment while in South Africa they do not provide for that. In this agreement, we have two ways of dealing with those who are found culpable and are residents or soldiers of South Africa. We try them here but do not go the route of capital punishment. If we would find it difficult, then we have agreed that we shall repatriate those back to their country to be tried under their law. But it is agreed generally that most of the parts of the statute of South Africa, other than that one, in defence and military operation, are similar. Members have spoken about the challenges we have. The sophistication of crime that is happening around the world, issues of terrorism, issues of Al Shabaab and piracy, which South Africa had already started addressing in their maritime boundaries as at now. We anticipate benefiting largely from what the South Africans are doing in that area. Hon. Speaker, without taking much time, as I thank Members once more, I ask them, as the question is being put, let us ratify this agreement for the benefit of our troops. With those many remarks, I beg to reply."
