government in Ukraine (BBC News, 2014). Upon learning that Mr. Yanukovich is currently residing in Kazakhstan, the new government of Ukraine requests from Kazakhstan the extradition of the overthrown president, who is accused of crime against the Ukrainian citizenry. The aim of the paper is to assess the validity of the extradition request and provide an objective advice on whether should Kazakhstan extradite Mr. Yanukovich or not. In order to reach the final decision, the paper would examine issues
crimes. We will then move on to some of the specific kind of crimes that cyber-criminals might commit, and formulate a policy for what we should do about cyber criminals who work from foreign countries that are hostile to the United States, or lack extradition treaty with the United States. Personality profile of a typical cyber criminal The profile of a cybercriminal is typically a younger person between the ages of 14 to about 26, but I think they could be a little older like from ages 27 to about
“And I’ve got Such a Long Way to go…” I would quite often hear “ba da da da, da da, da da” as a kid on the radio. There was awe listening to those specific vocals, but I never knew what the song was called. Fast-forwarding years later to 2014, I finally found out what this song was after all those years of wondering: “Ride Like the Wind,” by Christopher Cross. With an uncommon “storyline [that] is one not often heard on Adult Contemporary radio,” Cross was able to gain instant fame as a result
The Terrorist’s Extradition Loophole Most extradition treaties between states call for an exemption for crimes that are political in nature. The political offense exemption was originally created to allow states to protect those that another state may wish to prosecute for crimes that are politically committed against that government. R. Stuart Phillips, a Judge Advocate in the United States Army, distinguishes between “pure” political offenses and “relative” political offenses. “Pure” political
world’s earliest extradition agreement was created in the year 1259 BCE by Ramessess ll of Egypt and Hittites. The agreement obligated both Ramessess and Hittites to send criminals and political figures back that have tried to flee to the other side. Extraditions have since grown to be bilateral agreements between nations in transferring criminals from one nation to another. Extradition is requested when an individual commits a crime within the country that is seeking extradition. The request of the
The definition of Extradition is the act of one jurisdiction of handing over or delivering an individual who has been accused of committing crimes in another jurisdiction. Usually, two jurisdictions have to have an extradition treaty or deal for them to honour the extradition of an individual. However, there are many grounds of refusal and challenges that extradition is subject to. The grounds of refusal are based on nationality, political offenders, the Principle of Non Bid In Idem, and the death
The two groups argued should Canada sign an extradition treaty with China. Supporters of the treaty stated that signing it would inherently increase human rights and laws, reduce political barriers, and fight against corruption. The group argues that a treaty would encompass terms and concessions that mimic western traditions, in particular Canadian values. More specifically, these values mean a more moral and human rights based approach towards governance and treatment of citizens. Additionally
Abortive Extradition of Solomon Moseby by David Murray. I found both of the articles very interesting as they both seemed to cover the time periods of the 1800’s and expressed how both American and Canadian legislators struggled with coming up with a working interpretation to their own complicated policies on slavery, as well as how these policies affected the relationship with their neighboring country. The first article I read was “Hands Across the Border: The Abortive Extradition of Solomon
Laws of War The term "laws of war" refers to the rules governing the actual conduct of armed conflict. This idea that there actually exists rules that govern war is a difficult concept to understand. The simple act of war in and of itself seems to be in violation of an almost universal law prohibiting one human being from killing another. But during times of war murder of the enemy is allowed, which leads one to the question, "if murder is permissible then what possible "laws of war" could there

Extradition is a process that particularly benefits from mutual legal assistance since the entirety of the process is based on bilateral and multilateral treaties. To facilitate the formation of treaties under international legal standards, the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime published the Manual on Mutual Legal Assistance and Extradition. The Manual provides guidelines for member states to establish dialogue in order

In today’s society Mexico and Colombia, are related the majority of the time to illegal drugs, cartel wars, money, violence, capos, and death. Sadly, even though this problem has been around for a long period of time, for the past couple of years this issue has increased considerably in most countries that are related to illegal drugs. When a product, like drugs, shows a sign of being banned from a state or country, other nations can take advantage of using this reasoning to get the most of it. In

Pinochet's extradition is that he killed and tortured thousand of people during his rule in Chile. Pinochet was the military leader of Chile. He ruled the country ruthlessly, crushing all his oppositions. In 1998 Pinochet came to Britain to have a back operation in Harley Street. Many people were outraged by his visit, including many Chileans who lost their families during his tyrannous rule. On December 1998, Jack Straw, the home secretary announced that Pinochet's extradition to Spain should
social, economic, and political issues that lacked applicable government intervention and the population believed they suffered at the hands of their government. These reasons assisted Escobar’s growth and fame allowing him to escape prosecution and extradition as well. Escobar utilized this to his advantage by enticing the population with gifts and hospitality. He gave abundantly to the poor who felt ostracized and disregarded by their government. Moreover, he nurtured sympathy with the population through
