Clause 8

Where the Minister by an order published in the Gazette declares that any State specified in the order is a Convention country, the order, while in force, shall be conclusive evidence of that fact.

For the purposes of this Act, a certificate signed by the Minister stating that a State specified in the certificate but not specified in any order made under subsection (1) which is in force is, or was at a time specified in the certificate, a Convention country shall, upon mere production, be prima facie evidence of that fact.
