	Extradition - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Extradition is a formal process by which a criminal suspect held by one government is handed over to another government for trial or, if the suspect has already been tried and found guilty, to serve his or her sentence.
		Extradition treaties or subsequent diplomatic correspondence often include language providing that such criteria should not be taken into account when checking if the crime is one in the country from which extradition should take place.
		The matters are often complex when the country from which suspects are to be extradited is a democratic country with a rule of law.

	Lalor, Cyclopaedia of Political Science, V.2, Entry 48, EXTRADITION: Library of Economics and Liberty
		—Extradition, as provided for in the constitution, is a transaction between separate and independent states, for these states are sovereign within their respective boundaries, save that portion of power which they have granted to the federal government, and are foreign to each other for all but federal purposes.
		If, then, extradition may not be had for a political offense, it would stand to reason that to prevent any abuse of the extraditing power, the accused person can be tried only on the charge on which he was surrendered, and on no other.
		His extradition was therefore demanded on the charge of forgery—forgery of a custom house bond and affidavit—although, as was afterward proved in court, there was no forgery, in the usual sense of the term, actually committed, the names signed being the names of purely fictitious persons.

	U.S.-U.K. Extradition Treaty
		Article 2(1) defines an offense as an extraditable offense if the conduct on which the offense is based is punishable under the laws in both States by deprivation of liberty for a period of one year or more or by a more severe penalty.
		In addition, an offense is an extraditable offense if the offense is defined as extraditable under U.K. law and as a felony under U.S. law, and if the offense is punishable by imprisonment or other form of detention for more than one year or by the death penalty.
		A person extradited from the U.S. to the U.K. or to any of our other treaty partners can always seek to have his or her prosecution dismissed on the basis that it is time-barred in the state in which he or she is being tried.

	Extradition/Foreign Prosecution, Mexico
		The Extradition Treaty further provides that where the offense for which extradition is sought is punishable by death, extradition may be refused unless assurances are given that the death penalty shall not be imposed, and if imposed, shall not be executed.

	Extradition From Canada
		Lloyd Duhaime, Barrister and Solicitor, Victoria, B.C. Extradition is a fascinating branch of the law as it involves international politics, criminal law, international law and conflict of laws, the courts, the federal Minister of Justice and the Governor General.
		Extradition is the surrender by one country, at the request of another country, of a fugitive who is either accused or convicted of a crime by the requesting country.
		Persons in Canada who are accused or convicted of an extradition crime committed within the jurisdiction of a foreign state, are known as "fugitives." The use of the word "fugitive" in extradition proceedings is a bit misleading.

		For example, extradition typically requires compliance with basic principles of natural justice: the individual facing surrender is entitled to challenge the legitimacy of the warrant in a court of law.
		Extradition treaties may also prohibit surrender outright for certain categories of individuals and offences, or require the requesting state to meet specific conditions before extradition is permitted.
		Two common principles of extradition treaties are that the offence is punishable in both countries - the principle of dual criminality - and that the suspect can only be tried and punished for the offences specified in the extradition request - the rule of speciality.
