Abstract:
Since coming into force, the 2003 US-UK[1] extradition treaty in 2007, which replaced the old 1972 treaty[2], has been shrouded by controversy and deep public concern. The new treaty, it is argued, has created an imbalance between the two countries that is biased in the favour of the US to the detriment of UK nationals who may be the subject of a request.
