Authors
Dr. Renuwati Rajpurohit
Abstract
This article is devoted to the matter of
extradition for suppression of criminal activities of the offenders is one of
the main instruments of international cooperation which is used more frequently
whereby one sovereign state surrenders the alleged criminals in its territory
to the other sovereign state on demand. To make extradition effective, states
should demonstrate genuine will power and down-play politics in such matters.
Extradition has evolved among states because they keep interest in the
suppression of crimes and punishment of criminals who violate the national laws
and disturbing the peace. It is the process of surrendering fugitives who have
fled to the territory of another state. Such process is also an aspect of the
international campaign against crime carried out with an aim to maintain peace
and order at international level. Author considers that extradition plays vital
role in safeguarding and maintaining the peace of society because crime is
committed not only against a person but also against the society as a whole. The
aim of this paper is to emphasis on the importance of extradition as a potent
weapon to protect the society from such offenders. Surrendering the criminal by
one state to the state (where he committed crime) will be fruitful not only for
that state but also for the society at international level.
