Extradition laws. National and International. please answer?

Question

I have been wondering about this for a while. Information about international extradition laws and national extraditions laws on the web has proven difficult to find.

I know that there are some countries that do not allow extradition for any reason - whether the person be a citizen or resident of the country. I also know that there are few countries that do allow extradition of a wanted man except in the cases where that person may have the death sentence upon them (or it has been already decided). I want to know which countries is what. I know Mexico is not a good country to flee to if you're wanted but Panama is - extradition is not allowed AT ALL there.

Ok so this is about two things: discussing extradition laws (national [of each country and what their policy is] and international) and listing which countries allow/disallow what.

1. Which countries DO allow extradition under the condition that the penalty/sentence is NOT death penalty?

2. Which countries DO allow extradition only if the conditions the person would be treated under is within human rights and a fair trial plus no death penalty?

3. Which countries DO NOT allow extradition of a resident or citizen under any circumstances?

Back your answer up, please. Wikipedia is not a reliable source as anyone can edit-in something that reads like its true but it's totally made up.

PLEASE POST.

Answer 1

To begin with, check out www.deathpenaltyinfo.org for the list of countries with or without the death penalty.

For a general overview of what is or is not permitted, visit http://www.interpol.int/Public/ICPO/Lega...

Canada will not extradite if the defendent could face the death penalty.  See http://www.culturalrenewal.ca/lex/lex-44...

Nations in the European are not allowed to extradite someone if he could face the death penalty.  See http://www.legislationline.org/legislati...

I found a number of very good sites (certainly not wikipedia) by googling "death penalty", extradition.
