Question

Answer 1

New UK-US Extradition Treaty

The UK-US Treaty has three main effects:

- (1) it removes the requirement on the US to provide prima facie evidence when requesting the extradition of people from the UK but maintains the requirement on the UK to satisfy the "probable cause" requirement in the US when seeking the extradition of US nationals;

- (2) it removes or restricts key protections currently open to suspects and defendants;

- (3) it implements the EU-US Treaty on extradition, signed in Washington on 25 June 2003, but far exceeds the provisions in this agreement.

"Under the new treaty, the allegations of the US government will be enough to secure the extradition of people from the UK. However, if the UK wants to extradite someone from the US, evidence to the standard of a "reasonable" demonstration of guilt will still be required.

Answer 2

The U.ok. and intensely some different international places have a protracted checklist of refusing to extradite prisoners to the U.S. if the dying penalty is in play. they adjust to extradition requests on condition that they are assured that the dying penalty will on no account be utilized.
