To understand what the best non extradition countries are, we need to learn a little about what the process of extradition is. Extradition is a topic that\u2019s not well understood. We hear about high profile cases like Julian Assange<\/a> ad Carlos Ghosn but few people understand what extradition actually is and what procedures countries must follow if they want to extradite somebody.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Extradition is the process where two countries enter into a legally binding international treaty to surrender someone present in their jurisdiction and wanted for a crime to each other. Non extradition countries are those that don\u2019t have an extradition treaty with the requesting country. The list of non extradition countries is different depending on which country is making the request.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Normally one country will ask that the other country arrest and hold a fugitive that they are seeking and who is present in that country. Once the fugitive is detained, he may be returned to the requesting country but only after a court hearing to ensure that the extradition is lawful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
