		The Kasi case represents an ideal opportunity for the United States to honor its commitments to human rights and peaceful conflict resolution in the international community.

		After indicting Kasi shortly after the crime, the United States issued a formal extradition request to Pakistan in April 1993 (citing the 1931 Extradition Treaty between the United States and the United Kingdom — Pakistan’s former colonial sovereign — as the authority for the request).
