It's pretty standard, even outside extradition. Third party standing for rights is basically not a thing in the US, except in rare cases (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Third-party_standing https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Third-party_standing) Even in other realms, this is usually the case - it's very rare for a third party beneficiary to be able to raise rights that belong to someone else. For example, Bob writes some software and releases it under the GPL. Evilco takes it and ships binaries of it. You get a binary. You ask them for source. They say GFY. You are a third party beneficiary of Bob's contract with Evilco. Bob has the right to sue them in court. However, you probably do not have the right to sue them for breach of contract. (There is nuance i'm avoiding here about to make the point).
