"Extradition is the delivery of an accused or a convicted individual to the state were he is accused of, or has been convcivted of, a crime, by the state on whose territory he happens for the time being to be." See I Oppenheim 948 and 949. Extradition is often controlled by treaty, covention, state practice, or some combination thereof. The University of Iowa Law Library has a rich collection of primary and secondary resources addressing the issue of extradition in international law in general, and in state practices in particular.
