I really don't want to be extradited to Thailand from Australia because I mocked their King online, or extradited to China for commenting on a Falun Gong forum, or extradited to Saudi Arabia for posting a comment supporting gay rights.

I mean, I prefer what you prefer in this case as well, although I prefer it because I think those laws are wrong, not because I believe something about national borders by moral right ought to render me immune to prosecution from the next nation over.
