[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)

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)
