Do you have an example of country A asking France for permission before extraditing a French citizen who was not wanted for crimes in France to country B?
- nix23 6y agoIt's written in German, a bit different and even more complex: https://www.swissinfo.ch/ger/auslieferungs-gesuch/2803478 https://www.swissinfo.ch/ger/auslieferungs-gesuch/2803478 Argentina asked Switzerland to extradite Jean Bernard Lasnaud for smuggling Weapons to Ecuador and Croatia (he's French), and why Argentinia? Because the former President Carlos Menem and other Politicians where involved in it. As an example, France would ask A if he can extradited to France and prosecuted there, even when let's say the crime was in Country B. The US did something like that with Otto Warmbier: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Otto_Warmbier https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Otto_Warmbier That whole thing is often not National or International Law but Diplomatic (especially with someone like Assange)
- microtherion 6y ago> Argentina asked Switzerland to extradite Jean Bernard Lasnaud That's Argentina asking Switzerland to extradite a French citizen to Argentina for crimes committed under Argentinian law. The article does not say that France was asked for their opinion or permission. > https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Otto_Warmbier https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Otto_Warmbier That's the US asking North Korea to release a US citizen jailed there for a crime against North Korean law. Extradition does not enter the picture at all.
