extradition
(redirected from Extradict)

   Also found in: Legal, Encyclopedia, Wikipedia 0.04 sec.

extradition

Surrender, by one state or country to another, of a person accused of a criminal offence in the state or country to which that person is extradited.

When two nations are involved, extradition is usually governed by a treaty between the two countries concerned. A country usually will not allow extradition for political offences or an offence that it does not treat as a crime, even though it is a crime in the requesting country.
