EXTRADITE Meaning and
Definition
-
Extradite is a verb that refers to the act of legally transferring a person from one jurisdiction to another in order to face trial or serve a sentence for a crime they have been accused or convicted of committing in the requesting jurisdiction. This typically occurs when the individual sought by the authorities has fled to a different country or jurisdiction in an attempt to escape legal consequences.
The process of extradition usually involves a formal request made by the requesting country to the country where the person is currently located. The requesting country provides evidence of the crimes committed, and the legal authorities in the requested country evaluate the evidence to determine if extradition is justified under the applicable laws and treaties. If the request is approved, the individual is arrested and court proceedings take place to ultimately decide whether they should be handed over to the requesting jurisdiction.
Extradition is an intricate process that relies on mutual cooperation and agreements between countries. It often requires coordination between diplomatic, legal, and law enforcement channels to ensure the safe and timely transfer of the accused. The purpose of extradition is to uphold the principles of justice, prevent impunity, and ensure that individuals who are alleged to have committed a crime are held accountable for their actions, regardless of the geographical location they may attempt to hide in.

Etymology of EXTRADITE
The word "extradite" comes from the Latin word "extraditum", which is the past participle of the verb "extradere". "Extradere" is a compound of two Latin words: "ex", meaning "out of" or "from", and "tradere", meaning "to hand over" or "to deliver". Thus, "extradite" literally means "to deliver out of" or "to hand over". The term was first used in 1874 in English to describe the act of surrendering a criminal to another jurisdiction for trial or punishment.
