Law - international law - jurisdiction - criminal law.
Extradition is when one state legally surrenders an individual to another state's authorities.
The individual has been accused - or convicted - of an offence under the laws of the state to which they are being extradited.
One state's government makes a formal demand - or request - for extradition from the other.
Extradition generally requires an extradition treaty to be in place between the two states.
