RODUCTION
Extradition is simply having jurisdiction of state to try and prosecute a person born in
or coming from a country other than one's own who committed crimes within the territorial
jurisdiction of the requesting country. Extradition is a bilateral contract between a requesting
state and requested state. There are complex and sensitive problems in extraditing a person
such as absence of formal extradition treaty between states, human rights aspects for
barring the extradition of foreign person, fugitive offender committed crimes in two or more
countries and customary laws of requested state.
