Extradition legislation and cases can be very difficult to locate, particularly when practitioners require quick and easy access to authorities. The Handbook includes legislation and relevant case law covering ECE (European Convention on Extradition), Commonwealth, and treaty countries and UN Conventions, arranged thematically, so providing clear, step-by-step coverage through the extradition process. The Extradition Act 2003 came into force on 1 January 2004, and the Handbook covers the provisions of the 1989 Act and the new Act as the transitional provisions still apply to existing extradition proceedings. Sections on Human Rights implications and war crimes tribunals are also included, as well as useful appendix materials.
