Annotation

THIS REPORT ASSERTS THAT EXTRADITION PROCEDURES FOR TRANSPORTING FUGITIVES BOTH TO AND FROM INDIAN RESERVATIONS ARE NON-EXISTENT IN MANY JURISDICTIONS, NOT PROPERLY ADMINISTERED AND THEY RESULT IN MUCH CONFUSION.

Abstract

COVERING THE HISTORY AND PRESENT STATUS OF EXTRADITION INVOLVING INDIAN GOVERNMENTS, THIS DOCUMENT REVIEWS TREATIES AND EXTRADITION LEGISLATION IN EFFECT AT TIME OF PUBLICATION. AN IMPORTANT SECTION OF THE PAPER DEALS WITH INDIAN PERCEPTIONS OF EXTRADITION, WHICH ARE QUITE DIFFERENT FROM THOSE OF THE NON-INDIAN COMMUNITY. COURT DECISIONS AND A SAMPLING OF LEGISLATIVE TO THE PROBLEM LEAD TO THE CONCLUSION THAT LEGISLATIVE CLARITY IS A NECESSITY. LEGISLATIVE EXAMPLES ARE APPENDED TO SERVE AS DISCUSSION GUIDES FOR POSSIBLE FUTURE ACTION. THE APPENDIX ALSO INCLUDES SUGGESTED FORMS TO BE USED IN EXTRADITION PROCEDURES.
