In order to brake a treaty, you must first tell your partner that there is a case, and ask him to comply. If you hide it from him, then you have no case to tell him he broke the treaty. And that is what it is about : that you honour the treaty yourself and first knock on the door before kicking it in, and not to think you must not take care of that treaty yourself.
Extradition treaties also cause problems when the partner country has a constitution that prohibits the handing over of suspects of it's own nationality. :hmm: Another limitation often is if the suspect could face death penalty in the country wanting him. |
Then you have no business signing a treaty if it violates your constitution.
BTW
When did the US kidnap German citizens from Germany and bring them back to trial in the US?:hmm:
