Part 6: Offences involving violent or abusive behaviour Schedule 3: Amendments relating to offences committed outside the UK Part 3: Northern Ireland
Paragraph 7 inserts a new Article 6A in the Protection from Harassment Order (Northern Ireland) 1997 ("the 1997 Order").
	Article 6 of the 1997 Order makes it an offence for a person to pursue a course of conduct which causes another to fear, on at least two occasions, that violence will be used against him, and where he knows, or ought to know, that his course of conduct will cause the victim to fear violence on each occasion.
	New section 6A makes it an offence in Northern Ireland for a person who is a UK national (as defined in new section 6A(2)) or is habitually resident in Northern Ireland to pursue, wholly or partly in a country outside the UK, a course of conduct that would amount to an offence under section 6 of the 1997 Order if it occurred in Northern Ireland.
	Paragraph 8 amends Article 76 of the Sexual Offences (Northern Ireland) Order 2008 ("the 2008 Order") which makes provision for certain sexual offences committed outside the UK. Paragraph 8(b) inserts a new paragraph 76(2A) into the 2008 Order. This makes it an offence in Northern Ireland for a UK national or a person who is habitually resident in Northern Ireland to commit an act outside the UK amounting to an offence under any provision of Part 2 of the 2008 Order (namely, rape, assault by penetration, sexual assault and causing a person to engage in sexual activity without consent) where the victim of the offence was aged 18 or over at the time of the offence and, for a person habitually resident in Northern Ireland, the act constitutes an offence in the country where it was committed. (Article 76 of the 2008 Order already makes provision for extraterritorial jurisdiction over equivalent offences against a child under 18.)
