extradition treaty
Fugitive transfer pact
An extradition treaty is a formal agreement between countries establishing procedures for surrendering accused or convicted individuals to the jurisdiction where they face charges or sentencing.
These treaties typically specify which crimes qualify, what evidence is required, and grounds for refusal—such as political offenses or risk of torture.
The U.S. has no extradition treaty with Russia.
