Extradition Bill

An Extradition Bill is proposed legislation that sets out the legal process for transferring a person accused or convicted of a crime from one jurisdiction to another, typically from a local jurisdiction to a foreign country. It establishes the criteria, procedures, and legal safeguards for extradition. Such bills aim to ensure cooperation in criminal justice across borders while protecting individual rights, but their passage can be controversial if perceived as potentially undermining legal independence or exposing citizens to unfair treatment abroad.
