Extradition treaty does not mean automatic extradition and is not limited to its own citizens.[1] It just means there is a framework for granting a request. There are two types list treaties and dual crime. Dual crime means it has to be crime in both countries, list treaty mean applies to only specific lists of crimes There are other restrictions that could be limiting, some countries won't extradite if the death penality is a possibility, some will not extradite its citizen's but will do visitors or residents etc. As with all deals, there will be always some other items in play while the treaty was negotiated and signed, recognizing or supporting the other country's claim, trade agreements, tariff reduction etc. Depending on the size of the partner the deal will be favourable or not.
