[edit] Reference for FORCE-1

This appears to be a commercial plug? If anyone can confirm, it should be removed or reworded. I think this would belong better under rendition anyway. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Nbertram (talk • contribs) 05:15, 22 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Non-extradition countries

Does anyone have a list of non-extradition countries for common english-speaking countries? It would add to the article. I havn't been able to find any decent information. --ChrisRuvolo 19:46, 15 Oct 2004 (UTC)


Added by Soren Harward Mon 15 Nov 2004:

I found a couple of old links thanks to a 2-year-old Google Answers question:

http://answers.google.com/answers/threadview?id=27692 http://assembler.law.cornell.edu/uscode/html/uscode18/usc_sec_18_00003181----000-notes.html http://www.uncjin.org/Laws/extradit/extindx.htm

And the US State Department has info about diplomatic relations here:

http://www.state.gov/countries/

This will take some processing because it's a list of countries with whom we have extradition treaties, not a list of countries with which we do not. So I'll mark this on my TODO list. Someone else may want to cover countries other than the US.


I would like to strongly appeal to all wikiusers' reasonability to NOT publish any lists of countries, which don't co-operate in extradition - such a list could only help criminals avoid justice. Vanamond

[edit] Roman Polanski

Did the state of California request the US government to convey a request to France that Roman Polanski should be prosecuted? I know at least one case where a French citizen was (successfully, if I remember well) prosecuted in France for a murder committed in the US. David.Monniaux 18:47, 6 Feb 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Terror?

Is Wikipedia really so illiterate as that?
Note: this is not a rhetorical question. Please answer seriously.

Under the section for Extradition#International_strains there are two misuses of "terror". Unfortunately, one of them is a link to an article that also misuses the term, so it cannot be fixed without changing the linked article, too.

Since I am new, I will not risk making such changes.

[edit] Waiving extradition

That a suspect 'waives extradition' appears in the news fairly often. I'd think that a mention of this, with what it means/why it's newsworthy, and why one would do so, would be useful.

[edit] Soering v. United Kingdom

In the Restrictions section Soering v. United Kingdom is mentioned as a prominent case. Could someone please write about this as I'm sure it would add to the knowledge of the topic! Cheers. Witty lama 18:47, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Litvinenko/Lugovoi?

Nothing about this story? It's been big news in Britain for a long time now. 81.159.56.123 03:33, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Between sub-federal jurisdictions (e.g., U.S. States)

I'd like to see a section discussing extradition between sub-federal jurisdictions. This is obviously an issue in the U.S., where States extradite suspects between one another. I imagine it is also an issue in other federal nations.
