Extradition: Pakistan
- Question
-
To ask Her Majesty’s Government what assessment they have made of the likelihood of securing an extradition treaty between the United Kingdom and Pakistan.
- Answer
-
The Government will neither confirm nor deny whether it is considering or is involved in negotiations with a particular country over an extradition treaty.
The absence of a formal extradition treaty does not prevent the UK from requesting the extradition of an individual from another country. It is a matter for the law of that country whether it is able to respond to such a request.
