International Extradition Treaty
The International Extradition Treaty is a treaty of nations agreeing to extradite people who flee from a nation where they committed a crime. This treaty is open for UN and non-UN nations.
Contents
The Treaty
I, acting under the government of a sovereign nation, (hereby referred to as "my nation") hereby agree that my nation agrees to abide by the following terms:
1) My nation agrees to extradite criminals to the nation in which they committed the crime, assuming that that nation is a member of this pact.
2) My nation agrees to have a criminal extradited only if it ("my nation") believes that the nation requesting extradition has sufficient evidence to prosecute said criminal.
3) My nation agrees to prosecute all extradited criminals with a fair trial, moderated by an impartial judge, and that the verdict will be decided by a jury of their peers.
4) My nation agrees that, in the event that the criminal is found guilty, he or she will not be tortured, nor be forced to commit suicide.
5) My nation will follow proper procedure in amending this pact, as outlined below.
Note in regard to UN resolution 103
UN Resolution 103 allows a nation to refuse extradition if the punishment may include the death penalty. As such, we must allow UN Member nations to refuse extradition in the event that the person extradited may be punished by death. Below is an area where your nation may sign off its UN Resolution 103 rights. You are not forced to sign this. Non-UN nations do not need to sign it, either.
Amendments to the Treaty
Procedure
To amend this pact, a nation should post a message containing the text of the amendment in the Official Forum. Any members interested in voting may vote 'yes' or 'no' in the forum. If no votes are made in the first 15 days of the suggestion being posted, the nation should send a telegram to a founding member, or another active member. If an amendment still fails to get votes, it may stay on the floor indefinitely. If there are votes, the voting will end one month after its first posting.
Amendment 1: Extradition During Time of War
If two signing nations are at war over issues not relating to the treaty, the treatment of criminals, or the judgment of guilt, the nations may refuse extradition of criminals to the warring nation. If a nation is believed to be violating the treaty, including statements on the judging and treating of criminals, the nation can be suggested for ejection by placing a resolution on the talk page.
