extradition law
Fugitive transfer legislation
Extradition law governs the surrender of individuals accused or convicted of crimes from one jurisdiction to another.
It encompasses treaties between nations and compacts between states, specifying which offenses qualify, what procedures must be followed, and what protections the accused retains.
The defense argued that extradition law prohibited transfer because the alleged crime wasn't recognized in both countries.
Most extradition law requires dual criminality—the act must be criminal in both jurisdictions.
