gamer1234 Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 I have been wondering about this for a while. Information about international extradition laws and national extraditions laws on the web has proven difficult to find. I know that there are some countries that do not allow extradition for any reason - whether the person be a citizen or resident of the country. I also know that there are few countries that do allow extradition of a wanted man except in the cases where that person may have the death sentence upon them (or it has been already decided). I want to know which countries is what. I know Mexico is not a good country to flee to if you're wanted but Panama is - extradition is not allowed AT ALL there. Ok so this topic is about two things: discussing extradition laws (national [of each country and what their policy is] and international) and listing which countries allow/disallow what. 1. Which countries DO allow extradition under the condition that the penalty/sentence is NOT death penalty? 2. Which countries DO allow extradition only if the conditions the person would be treated under is within human rights and a fair trial plus no death penalty? 3. Which countries DO NOT allow extradition of a resident or citizen under any circumstances? Back your answer up, please. Wikipedia is not a reliable source as anyone can edit-in something that reads like its true but it's totally made up. PLEASE POST. [hide=What I have come up with so far]Questions & countries: 1. Mexico 2. Most European countries (a more specific list would be better): Britain 3. Panama, I think. I have only heard from other people, haven't seen/read any real proof.[/hide] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would you want a runaway murderer with a death sentence in a foreign country :-k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbington Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 Britain will never extradite if there is a threat of death or harm at the other end.... a fair policy I feel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gamer1234 Posted August 25, 2008 Author Share Posted August 25, 2008 The best country, I would say, to run to is Cuba. Though getting there is pretty difficult and living ther eis even harder. Since it is a complete communism and it is totally cut-off from the rest of the world (it's also stuck in the 1950s), any attempts from the countries you're wanted will be ignored or denied. Especially if it is from the U.S. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gamer1234 Posted August 25, 2008 Author Share Posted August 25, 2008 Hmm just something random. If your 12 miles offshore (lets say California), then you are in international waters. US law doesn't apply. Something good to know, eh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something good to know, eh? International law applies though so it's not like you can start knocking people off when you go on a cruise. He who learns must suffer, and, even in our sleep, pain that cannot forget falls drop by drop upon the heart,and in our own despair, against our will, comes wisdom to us by the awful grace of God. - Aeschylus (525 BC - 456 BC) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nomadmike Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 :lol: Is someone here going to try a mass murder crime followed by a run away while being found months later unable to be extradited? ;) Panama is the best choice imo just watch out for gangs.

Depends where the cruise first left from and to who it belongs. So for example, if it left from some US city and the company who owns the ship operates in America then anything that happens on the ship while its in international waters, US law applies and not international but if the cruises go to, say, Costa Rica, then when the passengers touch their land, the costa rican law applies while on Costa Rican land but what happens in/on the ship is US law... Nomad: No lol ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1_man_army Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 I was just using a cruise as random example of when you'd be in international waters (first that came to mind).

reaper88888 Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 Well, this is only something I heard about recently, but supposedly Canada now has an official policy of allowing extradition of draftees who fled there. (If anyone can confirm that either way, please do...) Crud. Any suggestions as to where I should go if/when the draft is reinstated? There is no meaning or truth in life but that which we create for ourselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If by draft you mean being drafted into the military.. well, you can go anywhere lol. Extradition is a long diplomatic process that only a government, not city or state, can make. It strains many of the countries resources and takes a while, so you can go anywhere because I don't think the U.S. government would waste that many resources on a single person. It depends on how severe is your situation... really Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
