“This work provides fresh insight into the limited network of multilateral extradition treaties-with an emphasis on extradition in the Americas. This network of multilateral extradition treaties – with an emphasis on extradition in the Americas. This volume is thus a welcome addition of the dearth of book-length literature on extradition agreements.”
